Linux Virtual Server At Oracle OpenWorld

Read Time:41 Sec

lvs4p-200 Late afternoon yesterday, I attended a session at Oracle OpenWorld called “JD Edwards Web Server High Availability with Oracle Enterprise Linux“. It was given by Marcelo Tamassia, CD Group, Inc. Oracle Technology Manager, and Tony Price, Carolina Biological Supply.

They explained a technology called Linux Virtual Server (LVS). LVS is used as a low cost load balancing and high availability solution. Fortunately, it is available in most Linux kernels. So, you can use it even if you don’t have Oracle Enterprise Linux.

Essentially, it is two low-end servers or high-end workstations that are running LVS placed between the end user and your web servers. This little cluster is used as a sort of proxy to direct traffic to the web servers.

I hope to give more info on this as I play around with it.
