What does scalability and distributed system exactly mean?
843830Jun 6 2005 — edited Jun 6 2005Let's say because of the heavy load I have my application server running on 3 machines to be able to process the high number of requests. I don't know if it is the correct term, so I want 3 machines to process the requests instead of one.
I would like to know what happens if I unplug the network cable from on machine or if one machine burns. Do the other two computers process the requests without any problem and do the other 2 computers process the request that was being executed while unplugging the network cable?
