Estudio Comparativo del Rendimiento de Servidores Web de Virtualización sobre la Plataforma Windows Server 2008.

Abstract

The comparative performance of Web servers Virtualization determined the best Server in order to choose the right one according to their performance in resource use and performance in a virtualization environment in ESPOCH. The appropriate method for the study of comparison is the analytical, allowing cualitativita present information (technical features) and quantitative (test results). The investigation will use the following programs, Colasoft Capsa to monitor network traffic that is generated when one or more customers made requests to the servers listed also configured WebStress Tools software to simulate user load and the number of requests that generate, in addition to this, we used Linux commands ab, httperf and httping. He obtained the following results of tests performed: Apache and IIS 73.14% 53.78% showing that Apache is the best choice in Web servers, allowing better use of resources and more efficient performance when subjected to increased user load . In conclusion, the Apache server than IIS is using its resources and performance, as these aspects are key when choosing the system of a company that can work 24 hours 365 days Recommended for use with Virtual Machines to implement basic characteristics (256Mb RAM and 32Mb of disk space), thus offering the possibility of creating a server using server virtualization technology.
