A look behind the scenes at Netflix.com

In yesterday’s issue of the computing magazine Infoworld there is an article about Netflix’s organization of their databases to allow for smooth operations. Netflix’s CIO Eric Meyer is answering questions how the company decided upon several off-the-shelf software packages to create the extensive database that tracks all of Netflix’s operations.

We have been able to even find a link to the article on Infoworld’s own website. Click here if you’re interested in more details and want to take a look at the entire article.
