Response time is essential to many Web applications. Consequently, many database-driven Web applications rely on data centers that host applications and database contents. Such IT infrastructure enables generation of requested pages at locations much close to the end-users, avoiding network latency. However, it the has additional challenges of database/data center synchronization and data freshness. In this paper, we describe the deployment of NEC's CachePortal dynamic content caching

The new system architecture has been experimentally evaluated and the results show that the deployment of NEC's CachePortal accelerates the dynamic content delivery up to 7 times while maintaining the same level or better content freshness.
