Ancuta-Pentronela Barzu, Mihai Carabaș, Nicolae Ţăpuş · 2017
This paper presents how the throughput of a server is influenced by the applying a vertical scalability. The paper studies the results obtained in measuring the response time of the server and the processing time of the server when dealing with a large number of requests by modifying the configuration of the machine, increasing the number of cores the machine has and increasing the RAM capacity. This represents a test to see how many requests a server can process and complete when dealing with large amount of data in a short period of time.
