Description: Deploying and Managing .NET Web Farms describes the life cycle of Microsoft .NET e-business applications and the steps an organization will take as they grow their online presence. Includes detailed descriptions of the technology choices an organization should make to save time, effort, and money. Coverage includes in-depth analysis on: Application Center, Network Load Balancing Services (NLBS), Component Load Balancing (CLB), COM+, Firewalls, Cluster Server, useful third party technologies, and other key Microsoft .NET components. In addition, we include a hardware roadmap that explores technologies like caching servers, load balancing devices, and others.
