Scaling Web Applications in a Cloud Environment using Resin 4.0
Cloud computing is an environment in which computing hardware can be dynamically reapportioned to the task at hand, usually using virtual machines. To that end, Resin 4.0 offers unprecedented support for deploying and scaling Java and PHP web applications in a cloud environment. This paper discusses the technical underpinnings of Resin 4.0's sophisticated clustering capabilities that provide reliable and fast distributed sessions, distributed object caching, and cloud-wide application deployment all while adding and removing application server instances at will during runtime.
