Design Goals
Several key requirements had to be built in to the chosen
architecture for SiteStream:
-
The customers' preferred platforms were Microsoft Windows and SQL Server.
-
The system had to be capable of running from one user on
a single PC up to 1,000 concurrent users.
-
The system must be resilient, with the highest levels of availability.
-
The data must be stored at the customers' head office, so remote users
connecting over a Wide Area Network (WAN) or dial-up access must be supported.
The Microsoft platform requirement naturally led to the
Microsoft Distributed iNternet Archiecture (DNA) standard. This
industry-proven framework is based on Microsoft Windows and SQL Server
technology, and delivers all the key requirements.
