Creating a clustered server and load testing

Bondarenko Roman Nikolaevich, Romanenkov Aleksandr Mikhailovich

Modern information services process a large number of requests from users. Their fast processing and stability are the two most important criteria that every modern, in-demand service should have. One of the best solutions for creating a stable server with high computing power is a cluster. A cluster is a system consisting of several computers connected to each other by a network, representing, from the user's point of view, a single hardware resource. To assess whether the computing power of the server is sufficient for the expected load, it is necessary to carry out load testing, through which to take care of the quality of the service provided.
