 
A Server Based Content Adaptation
Architecture Using Content Switching and Server Virtualization
Technique (2009)
Ref: ict0018 The
fast growing technology of mobile devices has become a major interest
for researches to explore. This is because mobile devices such as
PDA’s and smart phones have different capabilities such as
screen
size, screen resolution, storage size, processing power and type of
network connection if compared to personal computers. Due to these
differences, many web content applications have difficulties to adapt
to these devices. The challenge to ensure that these devices receive
equal quality to personal computers makes it tough to satisfy. Most of
the work that covers this area using the server-based adaptation
approach lacks to point out issues regarding manageability and
scalability. In this dissertation we propose a novel server-based
content adaptation architecture using content switching and
virtualization technique which can be applied for a large amount of
concurrent requests for uploading process video files. The main
components for the proposed architecture consist of a web server, a
database server and a content switching device. To ensure that the
proposed architecture will work and achieve the highest computing
performance some tests were conducted. From the results of the
experiment, by using two virtual servers for the uploading process with
1MB of file size the increment percentage is 61.54%.Therefore, we came
to a conclusion that by using content switching and virtualization
technique, less time is taken for a data to go from a mobile device to
the server for the process of uploading video files and at the same
time increase the number of concurrent users.
