The CIO sounds like a complete tool though.

Replication would have been a possibility, but at the time was not a robust technology yet and I don't think the product supported its use in any case.

Today of course, you just put the app servers near the database and access goes from the web to app server to db. This technology wasn't available for this product at the time.

Packaged software - so limited choices.

And the CIO was one of those "make it so" kinda guys. Damn reality getting in the way of what we want!

Well, in that case, you were pretty well boned.
