The Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games Corporation (M2006) needed a Web site to deliver schedules, venue and transport information, team and athlete profiles, photos, and up-to-the-minute news and results during the 12 days of the Games. Microsoft Services consultants at the Microsoft Solutions Development Centre and local partners built the site on a wide range of Microsoft server software. During the Games, the Web site processed up to 10,000 page requests per second and reached a global audience of nearly 12 million. Research and past experience allowed M2006 and Microsoft to forecast the amount of content that would be generated and the number of people who would visit the site.
