Candan. Issues and Evaluations of Caching Solutions for Web Application Acceleration

Response time is a key dierentiation among electronic commerce (e-commerce) applica-tions. For many e-commerce applications, Web pages are created dynamically based on the current state of a business stored in database systems. Recently, the topic of Web acceleration for database-driven Web applica-tions has drawn a lot of attention in both the research community and commercial arena. In this paper, we analyze the factors that have impacts on the performance and scalability of Web applications. We discuss system archi-tecture issues and describe approaches to de-ploying caching solutions for acceleratingWeb applications. We give the performance matrix measurement for network latency and various system architectures. The paper is summa-rized with a road map for creating high per-formance Web applications.
