- Improving Packing Algorithms for Server Consolidation
- Minimizing the number of servers and preparing sufficient resources are contradictory requirements in server consolidation. These requirements can be formalized as a variant of the bin packing problem, which is known to be NP-hard. The least-loaded, a load-balancing algorithm, is applied to the problem and compared to the classical First-Fit...

- White Paper for Load Balancing
- Load balancing allows incoming HTTP requests to a company's website to be distributed across several physical servers. If one server should fail, other servers can pick up the workload. Load balancing can be performed using application software. However, Bulwark Systems' dedicated switch can perform this function much faster as the...
