Architectural Design

Are you having challenges implementing or designing a web architecture based on ASP.NET and SQL Server? Do you appreciate the potential, and want to make sure that it is fully realized?

Here's an opportunity to spend two or three full days with a senior architect with real-world experience who specializes in .NET and SQL Server.

During the first half-day we will review your current system and discuss your requirements and issues. In the remaining time, we will sketch out a block-diagram-level architecture, cover key design points and work together to align your architecture with the capabilities of the underlying technology.

Potential discussion topics include:

• Caching
• Performance
• Scalability
• Session state
• Application partitioning
• Leveraging and configuring IIS
• SQL Server
• Service Broker
• Business intelligence
• Data mining
• ASP.NET development
• Smart clients with Click Once deployment
• Silverlight
• Mobile device support
• Operations
• Infrastructure
• Software development process and tools

The discussion will include substantial technical detail. However, in order to keep from getting too distracted, we will normally stop short of code examples, and focus instead on the architectural issues.

To request a quote, please provide as much of the following information as you can:

• A high-level description of your system, including a block diagram if you have one
• A list of issues you'd like to discuss, and the goals that you hope to accomplish
• Your schedule requirements
• Whether meeting by teleconference would be appropriate. If not, your preferred meeting location and alternatives if any
• Number of attendees and their titles
• Possible times over the next few days that you are available for a phone call
