Re: Olympic Site Architecture

Since I would imagine Olympic viewing will be time sensitive you might want to look into a CDN for your hot content. And you haven't mentioned a caching strategy for the database. Handling high peak loads pretty much requires avoiding the database. I'd also have some quality upgrade and deployment features in case you need to bring more resources on line quickly.
