Networkshop’s Prediction
Already, load-balancers are overcoming the inherent one-to-one nature of the network and distributing queries across tuned servers -- GIFs to a machine with a huge RAM cache, processing to servers with fibre-channel-attached databases.
I suspect we'll see content routing as a full-fledged concept in Las Vegas next spring. By Networkshop News 10/1999.
Load Balancing Systems
Cheap solution: Linux/LVS as load balancer for distributing requests to backend real servers.
Medium price solution: Microsoft Server Cluster; Zeus Load Balancer
High performance: Web Switches (special hardware) from Arrowpoint(CISCO), Foundry ServerIron, Alteon WebSystems, Intel XML distributor.
