Virtual server is a highly salable
and highly available server built on a cluster of real servers. The
architecture of server cluster is fully transparent to end users, and the users
interact with the cluster system as if it were only a single high-performance
virtual server. Please consider the following figure.
The real servers and the load balances may be interconnected by either high-speed LAN or by geographically dispersed WAN. The load balancres can dispatch requests to the different servers and make parallel services of the cluster to appear as a virtual service on a single IP address, and request dispatching can use IP load balancing technologies or application-level load balancing technologies. Scalability of the system is achieved by transparently adding or removing nodes in the cluster. High availability is provided by detecting node or daemon failures and re configuring the
system appropriately.
