8th February 2011 - CIO magazine reports that Nationwide Building Society’s web homepage went offline this morning for 2 hours, apparently after its servers couldn't cope with the volume of data.

Customers attempting to access Nationwide.co.uk were greeted with the message “Server is too busy”.

Such problems can usually be overcome using Load Testing tools to identify performance bottlenecks in the system.

The Art of Application Performance Testing

COMET is a Web application model that enables web servers to send data to the client without having to explicitly request it. Developers can utilise Comet techniques to create event-driven Web apps.

COMET is actually an umbrella term for multiple techniques for achieving client-server interaction. All methods have in common that they rely on browser-native technologies such as JavaScript, rather than on proprietary plug-ins.
