Requirements and Approaches for a Content Management Service

Abstract

The contribution describes enhancements to a content management in order to enable it for ASP (application service provision) operation. The first section lists up the most important requirements that an ASP-based content management has to fulfill. The approaches described next are focused on the delivery and the storage of essences, because this is one of the most sensitive and important parts of a content management system. The essence delivery functionality of the system has been enhanced in respect to high availability, automatic fail-over, load balancing and localized delivery. For each of these terms a solution has been developed and tested.
