Architectural model for a high performance content management system

Usually content management systems are based on core technologies such as database management systems and file systems. Content management is now being regarded as a base technology for other more complex applications which offer a wide range of functionality for accessing and transforming large data volumes. While content management tasks can be easily implemented using the existing database systems, we believe that high performance implementations require specialized processing and architectures. This paper will describe the proposed architecture of a high performance content management system and will present some experimental conclusions from a model implementation. The proposed architecture focuses on the content management specific characteristics identification and describes a new implementation model, aiming at supplying greater performance than conventional ones.
