Overcomes storage limitations and balances load.

Abstract

This paper designs and implements a high availability clusters and incorporated with load balance infrastructure of web servers. The paper described system can provide full facilities to the website hosting provider and large business organizations. This system can provide continuous service though any system components fail uncertainly with the help of Linux Virtual Server (LVS) loadbalancing cluster technology and combined with virtualization as well as shared storage technology to achieve the three-tier architecture of Web server clusters. This technology not only improves availability, but also affects the security and performance of the application services being requested. Benefits of the system include node failover overcome; network failover overcome; storage limitation overcome and load distribution.
