The Internet is increasingly being used as basic infrastructure for a variety of services. A high-performance server system is the key to the success of all these Internet services. However, the explosive growth of Internet has resulted in heavy demands being placed on Internet servers and has raised great concerns in terms of performance, scalability and availability of the associated services. A monolithic server hosting a service is usually not sufficient to handle these challenges. Distributed server architecture, consisting of multiple heterogeneous computers that appears as a single high performance system, has proven a successful and cost effective alternative to meet these challenges. Consequently, more and more Internet service providers run their service on a cluster of servers, and this trend is accelerating.
The distributed server architecture is only an insufficient answer to the challenges faced by Internet service providers today. This thesis presents an integrated system for supporting scalable and highly reliable Internet services on the distributed server architecture. This system is composed consists of two major parts: Server Load Balancer and Distributed Server management System. The server load balancer can intelligently route the incoming requests to the appropriate server node. The Java-based management system can relieve administrator¡¥s burden on managing such a distributed server system. With these mechanisms, we can provide an integrated system to consolidate a group of heterogeneous computers to be a powerful, adaptive, reliable Internet server system.
