Commercial Applications

The domains of usage of large scale distributed systems have been extending during the past years from scientific to commercial applications. Together with the extension of the application domains, new requirements have emerged for large scale distributed systems. Among these requirements, fault tolerance is needed by more and more modern distributed applications, not only by the critical ones. In this chapter we analyze current existing work in enabling fault tolerance in case of large scale distributed systems, presenting specific problem, existing solution, as well as several future trends. The characteristics of these systems pose problems to ensuring fault tolerance especially because of their complexity, involving many resources and users geographically distributed, because of the volatility of resources that are available only for limited amounts of time, and because of the constraints imposed by the applications and resource owners. A general fault tolerant architecture should, at a minimum, be comprised of at least a mechanism to detect failures and a component capable to recover and handle the detected failures, usually using some form of a replication mechanism. In this chapter we analyzed existing fault tolerance implementations, as well as solutions adopted in real world large scale distributed systems. We analyzed the fault tolerance architectures being proposed for particular distributed architectures, such as Grid or P2P systems.

Replication Technique

High availability is important for large scale distributed systems. Replication provides effective ways to enhance performance, high availability and fault tolerance in distributed systems. An efficient and effective replication technique is the key to improve the availability performance. Data and processes can be replicated for failures recovery. There are currently projects successfully implemented in two-replica distribution technique (TRDT) or primary–backup technique. However, these projects have their weaknesses of increasing cost overhead and inherit irrecoverable scenarios from TRDT such as double faults when both copies of replicated components are damaged. The authors propose the Neighbor Replica Distributed Technique (NRDT) availability prediction model. Focusing on improving high availability in which it predicts future expectation of interdependent server’s availability in a distributed online system over an extended period of time. The results and discussion are explored further in the article.

Recently, with the development of Internet and the coming of new application modes, data storage has some new characters and new requirements. In this paper, a Distributed Computing Framework Mass Small File storage System (For short:Dnet FS) based on Windows Communication Foundation in .Net platform is presented, which is lightweight, good-expansibility, running in cheap hardware platform, supporting Large-scale concurrent access, and having certain fault-tolerance. The framework of this system is analyzed and the performance of this system is tested and compared. All of these prove this system meet requirements.
