ESPN Study

Reading Time: < 1 minute

View the video case of ESPN and then answer case question #2 listed in the PDF file. There is a link to the video contained within the PDF file, as well. I have attached the ESPN pdf.

Question #2 is: Why does ESPN store personal information and preferences on its databases and how does this personal information complicate the ability of ESPN to respond to requests from users? Why can’t ESPN just use Web page caching to handle the loads?
