MSDN Architecture Webcast: Real World Design for Resilience: The Infrastructure Architecture of Microsoft.com (Level 300)  

<B>Simulcast from Microsoft Tech·Ed 2006 in Boston, MA.</B>

Microsoft.com is one of the busiest Web sites in the world and a constant target for hackers. Join this webcast to learn what drives the infrastructure design decisions of this site from the team that architected it and manages it today. Find out how architectural decisions were key to the adoption of the new, 64-bit platform now in production and had no negative effect on site availability. When security patches are released, Microsoft Update and the Download Center push out more than 80 gigabyte (GB) of data per second. Find out how the Microsoft.com Operations team utilizes Global Load Balancing and manages egress. Get an inside look at the architecture, replication, and management of Web site configuration and content, and the network topology Microsoft.com uses to create true 99.9 percent availability.
