Autonomous Management of a Web Server Cluster Using Jini Technology

Jini를 이용한 웹 서버 클러스터의 자율 관리 기법

In this paper, we consider issues related to the autonomous management of a server cluster Server clustering technique is widely used for high available Internet servers such as a web server, because it provides very scalable and reliable service. However, it is very burden-some to manage the cluster system. For instance, installation or configuration of a new node requires skilled administrators. Also, when a node is failed, it should be recognized and recovered by a human. The management complexity gets higher while increasing the number of machines for higher throughput. Here, we are going to alleviate the management complexity by building an autonomous cluster server with Jini $_{TM}$ technology from Sun Microsystems.
