ANALISYS OF A EVENT ORIENTED WEB SERVER AS A REVERSE PROXY WITH FLEXIBLE LOAD DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

According to research done by CGI (Internet Management Committee in Brazil) is indeed the growth of new internet users, as well as increased demand for use of servers that are responsible for letting the pages available. This steady growth can affect many services that are unprepared, causing the servers to work in a high rate of use by making them become slow and even stop working, causing users to slowness or lack of it. This meta-paper describes a possible solution for servers that can continue to provide web pages with good quality for a high demand of simultaneous HTTP requests. The solution is based on using the NGINX web server as a reverse proxy to receive new requests and with the help of a distributor that uses the Ganglia tool for gathering information about servers to balance the load among the available servers.
