HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
The Webcast Systems e-Community Management and Development Platform (CMDP)
provides a fully scalable system architecture. It is efficient enough to be run
from a single server handling 100s of members a day or it can be scaled to a
multiple server configuration meeting the needs of millions of visitors.
e-Communities and their members require AVAILABILITY, PERFORMANCE and
SCALABILITY, throughout the life cycle of the e-community. This is no simple
matter since today's e-communities and their members require powerful utilities
and services including dynamic content and e-commerce, not just the static web
pages of the past.
The CMDP architecture uses accepted industry standards and is not dependant upon
any certain manufacture's hardware or software technology to accomplish this
goal. Instead it combines the best design principles and technologies available
to meet the growing demands and needs for the content and activities of each
e-community. Making sure the community is always available to the members, with
a level of performance that exceeds their expectations.
INCLUDES:
LOAD BALANCED WEB APPLICATION SERVERS: Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition
running Microsoft Internet Information Server
CLUSTERED SQL SERVERS: Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition running Microsoft
SQL database and attached via SCSI to RAID.
CLUSTERED RAID FILE SERVER (storage array will be converted to a fiber channel
storage solution in 1999)
