International Classification:

G06F001/16

US Classification:

361/686000

Abstract:

A multi-server system includes single board computers, a network interface for each of the single board computers, network switching circuitry, and a housing. The network switching circuitry selectively facilitates data transmissions among the plurality of single board computers through the network interfaces. The network switching circuitry communicates with the single board computers through at least one back plane. A server architecture includes multiple instances of the multi-server system, interconnected via at least one external network port of each. The server architecture includes external network switching circuitry for selectively facilitating data transmission among the multi-server systems and an external server external to the server architecture.

Abstract:

A load distribution device that distributes load of a target server is provided. The load distribution device includes a load detection unit that monitors a load amount of the target server and determines whether the load amount exceeds a predetermined critical value, a server driving unit that drives a replication server when the load amount exceeds the critical value, and a server control unit that distributes part of load to the replication server when the replication server has started to be driven. The replication server is implemented by a cloud computing technique.
