Abstract
Applications of the traditional network (Internet/Intranet) are usually client–server based where many clients communicate with a shared server for application solutions and services. Samples of this kind of application services include email servers, Web servers, and file servers. This type of centralized computer includes several fundamental impediments: scalability, resiliency, and flexibility and mobility. In today’s status of the World Wide Web (WWW), many people might be using the very same server at the same time. It is not easy to host a server for many people and also keep on being online consistently. Current technology has contributed to making this much easier, yet there are some challenges with popular servers access by many clients.
