If you are hosting or adopting Web 2.0 applications, be prepared for huge spikes in traffic, the need to manage vast quantities of data, and the need to add capacity to different parts of your applications at different times. This session looks at the benefits Web 2.0 can bring such as easy application delivery and scaling, improved productivity, and rapid time-to-market.
