Litium Scensum is an enterprise platform for E-Commerce development. The technical architecture is designed to support a high level of extensibility while maintaining high performace. A Scensum system is designed to enhance an existing infrastructure by easy integration and utilization of existing data sources. This article gives a brief overview of the technical architecture of Litium Scensum.
Technology
Litium Scensum is based on Microsoft .NET 3.5 and Microsoft SQL Server. Each installation of Litium Scensum is represented by three Web Site instances (public site, back office and media) in Internet Information Server. Using Scensum's channel concept multiple public sites can be handled by the same installation.
Using only 2 load balanced web fronts and a single database server Scensum can handle high loads as a fail-safe solution. To handle even higher loads, further web fronts and dedicated servers for e.g. caching and search engine can be added. All web fronts use the same database per installation.
Startup projects
A Scensum solution is shipped with 3 startup projects for public site, back office and media. These startup solution can be used to cut the development time for a customer project.

Modules
The domains in Litium Scensum are devided into modules, each module separated into service, repository and business object.
Repository pattern
