How to pull data from a remote server to the web server. Initiated by the web server session.

Hello.
I am brand new to asp.net. Just starting to do web development.
 However I do have extensive software experience developing
applications on local networks, mobile devices, vb.net, vb.net remoting,
etc.
 
Here is the senario:
    Bob delivers bottled water to several hundred accounts.
    Bob keeps all information regarding his accounts in an
    SQL server located at site A.  Bob has an ASP.net application
    hosted on a web server at site B.  Bob wants to allow his 
    accounts to log in to the web server at site B and view
    their account information located at site A.  Keep in mind
    the request for account information is initiated at the web
    server at site B.
 
My question.  Is this possible?  Can asp.net facilitate this?
    If not then any suggestions on what technology will facilitate this?
 
Much thanks for any help.

 But of coarse! 
As long as your applications (be it ASP.NET or anything else) use the same database... You just need to make sure that you will be able to access data in the database going from B - A (security issues). My advice would be to have SQL server and Web server at the same location.

 Thanks for your response fimine. However; co locating the web server and sql server is not an option.  I did find a useful web site with an article and sample application from Peter Bromberg.  I plan to work with his sample code and explore other solutions as they come available.
Here is the link to Peter's article.

If you have a provider of remoting then for sure you can use this. I just thought that nowdays, most of providers would have SQL and Web.
