A server is computer hardware, software, or device that offers assistance to another computing unit, a client, by providing information or computing resources. When hundreds and thousands of such servers are connected via network switches and routers within the same physical location, they compose a cluster also known as a server farm. A server farm is intended to provide excess processing power and storage capacity for machines and applications which need extensive computing resources.  In 1991, the first-ever Web server was launched at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in California. The number of web servers reached 10 000 at the end of 1994. The same year, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded to manage and standardize the advancements in web technologies.   Nowadays, Apache server is…

Later that year, CERN HTTPd was developed on a NeXT computer, becoming the world's first-ever web server. In 1991, the first-ever Web server was launched at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center…

Serverfarm Eine Serverfarm ist ein Netzwerk aus mehreren Computern, die in einen Cluster integriert sind und Funktionen bietet, die ein einzelner Computer nicht bereitstellen kann, und sie sind extrem teuer zu erstellen und zu betreiben. Eine Anwendung für Serverfarmen ist das Hosten von Webfarmen, die als WebFarm bezeichnet wird. Aufgrund der hohen Kosten, die mit dem Konstruktionsparameter verbunden sind, ist ihre Leistung nicht optimal. (Mitrani, (Januar 2013)) Das Erstellen von Hyper-Scale-Serverfarmen kann eine mühsame und zeitaufwändige Aufgabe sein. Es wird weit über zwei Jahre dauern, bis 100 Serverfarmen funktionsfähig sein können. Übergroße Serverfarmen Während sich die Welt in Richtung Cloud-Technologie entwickelt, werden die Serverfarmen immer größer, da auch die Nachfrage nach erhöhter Rechenleistung gestiegen ist. Die Kapazität des Rechenzentrums nimmt zu, und die globale Servertopographie verändert…

Server Farm  A server farm is a network of multiple computers integrated into a cluster that offers functions that a single computer cannot provide, and they are extremely expensive to construct and operate. One application for server farms is hosting web, called Web Farm. Due to the high costs associated with the design parameter, their performance is less than optimal. (Mitrani, (January 2013)) Building hyper-scale server farms can be a tedious and time-consuming task. It will take well over two years before 100 server farms can be functional.  Super-sized Server Farms  As the world progresses towards cloud technology, the server farms are becoming super-sized, as the demand for increased computation power has also grown. There is an increase in data center capacity, and it is changing…
