Rightmove.co.uk

Property portal

Rightmove.co.uk is currently the UK's 7th busiest site - ahead of the BBC. It advertises rental and sales properties from the big four estate agency groups. They required an complete rebuild of their web-site to cope with the huge demand they were receiving - over 10 million visitors per month. The system had to cope with the large number of requests and provide a fast and accurate searching mechanism.

Logical and physical data models were designed and the build of the database was managed and tuned. A regular import of all UK postcodes with coordinates was designed. The data conversion from an existing database was planned and carried out.

The architecture includes: Oracle, Java, JSP, Tomcat, Turbine, Velocity
