This document provides instructions on installing and configuring memcached to improve the performance and scalability of MySQL. Memcached is installed using package managers or by compiling from source. It is configured to listen on ports and interfaces, allocate memory, and set thread counts. The typical usage involves applications loading data from MySQL into memcached for faster retrieval, with MySQL as the backing store if data is not found in the cache.
The document discusses Novell iChain, a solution for securing web applications and servers.

This simplifies management and security across multiple web server platforms and applications.
Load-balancing web servers Load-balancing web serverswebhostingguy
The document discusses different approaches to load balancing web servers to address issues like scaling performance, tolerating failures, and rolling upgrades. It describes three common solutions: redirecting requests through a front-end server; using round-robin DNS to distribute requests; and employing an intelligent load balancer switch that can distribute requests based on server load and detect failures. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages related to ease of implementation, visibility to users, and ability to handle session state. The document also discusses network designs and protocols involved in load balancing, including TCP connection setup and teardown.
The document compares three methods for consolidating SQL Server databases: 1) multiple databases on a single SQL Server instance, 2) a single database on multiple SQL Server instances, and 3) hypervisor-based virtualization. It finds that consolidating multiple databases onto a single instance has the lowest direct costs but reduces security and manageability. Using multiple instances improves security but has higher resource needs. Hypervisor-based virtualization maintains security while enabling features like high availability, but has higher licensing costs. The document aims to help decide which approach best balances these technical and business factors for a given environment.
