Análisis comparativo de rendimiento a servidores web de distribución libre utilizando apache benchmark

Abstract

Web servers are currently used by the vast majority of companies, since anyone who has access to the Internet can access a web page, no matter in which web hosting it is, and much better if it can be used freely. Free distribution operating systems are Linux-based, include their own desktop environment, and are licensed free, that is, free to use the program for any purpose. Web server performance is a critical issue for sites that handle a large volume of requests. So there are tools to measure the performance of the server to be used, to verify if it is optimal. The most used web servers are: Apache, Nginx and OpenLiteSpeed, since they are open source, allowing to customize and expand by modules without affecting their base. This work has been carried out with the aim of making a comparative analysis about which is the best web server installed in a free distribution operating system, and with the help of the Apache Benchmark tool also open source, allowing to measure the performance of each server mentioned, helping to specify the concurrency capacity that checks race conditions or blockages.
