Five Ways to Maximize Web Tier Efficiency | 2008-10-01 | Intel |
| Explosive Internet growth and richer applications are putting constant pressure on Web-based companies to find ways to scale their infrastructure at the lowest cost. Nowhere is this pressure more evident than in the Web tier, the front line servers that respond to client requests. In an Internet data center, the Web tier consists of the servers and applications that interface most directly with the client in the delivery of Internet services. These front-line servers typically outnumber other data center servers by as much as a factor of five. Consequently, it's also the area in which great cost savings can be achieved through energy-saving improvements.

Connection Caching for WWW Servers and Proxies | 2008-06-10 | University of Electro-Communications |
| This paper proposes connection caching to reduce the overhead of accessing WWW pages. Connection caching means that a WWW server or a WWW proxy server does not release its connection with a client or a peer but retains it and uses it again after the transmission is completed. The retained connection is cached and it is used for future access. Connection caching reduces network traffic and server load. This paper shows that the hit rate of connection caching for WWW accesses is high and connection caching is effective. This evaluation is based on actual logs from a server and a proxy server. The logs are records of 350 days. The log from the proxy server includes more than 14 million accesses.
