架设基于linux的服务器集群（Building a Linux based server cluster） Building a LINUX based server cluster 1. what is a server cluster? With the explosive growth of Internet, Internet has become more and more closely related to peoples lives, and more and more attention has been paid to transactions via Internet. In recent years, the annual growth of e-commerce has exceeded 100%. The workload of servers is also growing rapidly, so servers (especially a popular WEB server) are prone to overload during peak access. On the other hand, the computer from the 1946 simple scientific computing tasks to a large number of complex information processing, the workload is increasing, the need for faster and faster processing capacity. As a result, the computer community has had to study faster processors and memory to accommodate this need. However, scientists realized that the single processor speed the development of space is limited, why not let the computer like people to work together, workout to finish the job! At this time, the parallel computing was started. For example, we set up a WWW server, it constructs an e-commerce site, but with the passage of time, a growing reputation, then click rate is more and more high. The WWW server load is more and more high. In this case, we have to upgrade the capabilities of the WWW server to meet the growing requests for services. At this point, we face two choices: 1) update WWW server, the faster CPU, add more memory, which has POWER; but the growing service request and make the server overload again, need to upgrade again, such as in the upgrade cycle. Also, when upgrading, you have to consider how the service goes and whether you can abort! 2) increase the WWW server and allow multiple servers to perform the same service. This approach is the server cluster, which greatly improves system performance through parallel technology. That is, the main content of this chapter, this method is very scalable, and can maximize the use of existing investm
