Abstract:
Nowadays e-Learning environments manage and deliver high volumes of data. Under these circumstances it becomes highly advisable shifting towards distributed software systems. This approach may bring high benefits regarding the average response time and therefore the overall quality of the e-Learning environment. One possible solution is represented by load-balancing. This means that the workload is distributed among two or more web servers such that a faster response is obtained in proposed scalable system. The load balancing is performed according with the results obtained after putting the e-Learning system under stress that is performed by a simulation tool.
