Scalable and Secure Internet Services and Architecture provides an in-depth analysis of many key scaling technologies. The book demonstrates the effectiveness of the technologies via mathematical modeling and analysis, simulation, and practical implementations. The text blends technologies in a unified framework for scalable and secure Internet services, delivering a systematic treatment based upon the author's research. The book tackles each topic by first defining a problem, then reviewing representative approaches for solving it. The author then describes the underlying principles of the technologies and the application of these principles, along with balanced coverage of concepts and engineering trade-offs. > Scalable and Secure Internet Services and Architecture provides an in-depth analysis of many key scaling technologies. Topics include: server clusters and load balancing; QoS-aware resource management; server capacity planning; Web caching and prefetching; P2P overlay net.
