Iridium Satellite Collision in Space
You might have seen the recent news reports about the collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The U.S. satellite was one of the Iridium satellites.

If you have existing data, this architecture is also a great way to use XML to take advantage of it. Your existing data is protected from direct Internet access and data from multiple existing sources can be mapped to the object database.
