While exploring all these exciting features, this accessible book shows system administrators, managers, and developers how to scale up Linux to run on large server systems in order to maintain high availability for their e-commerce applications. Linux expert Iain Campbell covers the tools and tests you'll need to know. He also offers detailed instructions on how to analyze, set up, and maintain reliable Linux servers that can operate with little or no downtime and brings you quickly up to speed on the latest version of Linux.
