Grid Web Server Architecture

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Planning server’s architecture for your web hosting, email marketing hosting, or other application hosting is never easy. Sometimes we need hours to plan the best architecture plan for our servers. When we host a busy applications on hundred of servers, we should plan the best architecture.

The best architecture is a hardware and software server architecture who can handle busy applications and can response fast. Example of best server architecture is Google. Google can handle million of requests in a second. Google has thousands of servers.

So you have a website that have thousands request in a second and your web hosting company can’t handle it. Then when you move to quad core server, your server still can’t handle all requests. Then you need multi server architecture.

Grid architecture is one of multi server architecture example. Here is an example of simple grid server architecture for your web server or web hosting. In this example we need about 11 servers. Below are list of the servers:
•    1 load balancer server
•    2 reverse proxy server
•    4 web server
•    4 database server

Grid Web Hosting

Above architecture is very simple grid server architecture. Many web hosting or web server that use above architecture. That architecture is not the best one but it’s scalable.

Printer
Inkjet printer is a common printer we can meet at home and home office. Inkjet printers are less expensive than laser printer, and the quality same with laser printer. Inkjet cartridges are cheaper than laser toner cartridges. That’s why inkjet printer popular for low budget person or company.

The replaceable part for inkjet printer is ink cartridge. This is where you should put printer ink. For some printer types, cartridge cost half of new printer price. New cheap printer only cost about $400; new printer cartridge is cost about $200. For money reasons, its better you refill your cartridge with ink instead of buying new cartridge. If your cartridge has broken you can buy new cartridge or buy the printer.

Refilling printer cartridge is not recommended by printer manufacturer. They recommend replacing with the new one. Of course they are protecting their potential income by selling new inkjet cartridges. Refilling printer cartridge will decrease new cartridge demand. That’s why for some cartridges, there is a protector for refilling by your own.

When you refill printer cartridge, you should know the type of ink that work best. Each ink contains a different formula. Some inks are inefficient and messy. You can buy the ink and then refill by yourself. Or you can replace your cartridge with refill printer cartridge at some stores. Refill printer cartridge can cost half compare with new printer cartridge.
