Scaling out is a major architecture factor to most heavy-traffic Web solutions. Turning back time, I see most of the Web solutions that I've been involved with having significant requirements for data load and performance. The bottleneck in most of those cases has been on the database layer, where at some point we have had to think about scaling out. Not surprisingly database performance and tuning have been very interesting to me and I am trying to constantly educate myself. This is how I found the following very good papers related to scaling out technologies with SQL Server 2005. They will give you a broad perspective on what SQL Server 2005 can give you to make your application more scalable. These papers have been written by Bob Beauchemin, who is a well-known speaker and profound database guru.
