Outline of Final Research Achievements

Functions are developed for constructing Web system that provides service using cache servers supplied on the Cloud when access concentration on the Web server causes insufficient response. The number of cache servers is decided depending on the quantity of access.
Specifically, load monitoring function to monitor load of servers, destination setting function to set up destination servers of accesses and cache server management function to boot up and shut down cache servers are developed. By incorporating these functions with software load balancer or DNS, target Web system can be constructed.
Moreover, in order to improve service on cache servers, priority access mechanism for Web server which processes access from them prior to others is also developed.
