CDN and clustering in GNU/Linux with performance testing
Mikulka, Pavel ; Pelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Šimek, Milan (advisor)
Fault tolerance is essential in a production-grade service delivery network. One of the solution is build a clustered environment to keep system failure to a minimum. This thesis examines the use of high availability and load balancing services using open source tools in GNU/Linux. The thesis discusses some general technologies of high availability computing as virtualization, synchronization and mirroring. To build relatively cheap high availability clusters is suitable DRDB tool. DRDB is tool for build synchronized Linux block devices. This paper also examines Linux-HA project, Redhat Cluster Suite, LVS, etc. Content Delivery Networks (CDN) replicate content over several mirrored web servers strategically placed at various locations in order to deal with the flash crowds. A CDN has some combination a request-routing and replication mechanism. Thus CDNs offer fast and reliable applications and services by distributing content to cache servers located close to end-users. This work examines open-source CDNs Globule and CoralCDN and test performance of this CDNs in global deployment.

Available Solutions for Server Clustering
Bílek, Václav ; Čejka, Rudolf (referee) ; Kašpárek, Tomáš (advisor)
The goal of this master thesis is to analyze Open Source resources for loadbalancing and high availability, with aim on areas of its typical usage. These areas are particularly solutions of network infrastructure (routers, loadbalancers), generally network and internet services and parallel filesystems. Next part of this thesis is analysis of design, implementation and plans of subsequent advancement of an fast growing Internet project. The effect of this growth is necessity of solving scalability on all levels. The last part is performance analysis of individual loadbalancing methods in the Linux Virtual Server project.

Intelligent File Distribution in CDN
Kaleta, Marek ; Kouřil, Jan (referee) ; Škoda, Petr (advisor)
This work deals with algorithms for distributing and mapping content on nodes in CDN system. Compares local and global algorithms for loading files on origin and edge servers. A high level CDN simulator is made. A matrix based approach for mapping content on CDN servers is proposed along with tranformation for solution of mapping optimalisation through genetic algorithms.
