    <title>Scalability</title>
    <para>
      Often, scalability is a key requirement for enterprise solutions such 
      as <olink targetdoc="solution-cms"><acronym>CMS</acronym></olink> and 
      <olink targetdoc="solution-portal">Portals</olink>. Proposed solutions 
      need to be capable of handling high volumes of content as well as of 
      fulfilling high performance requirements. Scalability requirements 
      therefore apply to all components of the architecture including 
      <emphasis>data stores</emphasis> and <emphasis>application servers
      </emphasis> that leverage the content. Both of our platform 
      architectures: LAMP and	JAM can easily scale and handle the high volume
      of users typically seen in web enabled applications.
