ANALYSIS OF SECURITY, OPERATION SYSTEM AND VIRTUALIZATION PARAMETERS ON PERFORMANCE OF WEB SERVERS

V magistrski nalogi raziskujemo vpliv varnosti, operacijskega sistema in virtualizacije na zmogljivost spletnih strežnikov. V prvem delu so predstavljene virtualizacijske tehnologije in spletni strežnik Apache. V drugem delu smo naredili raziskavo, v kateri je izveden eksperiment. Za izvedbo eksperimenta smo vzpostavili delovno okolje, razvili testne primere in programsko opremo za merjenje zmogljivosti spletnega strežnika. Analize so pokazale, da je zelo pomembno kateri operacijski sistem in hipervizor izberemo za doseganje najboljših zmogljivosti spletnega strežnika Apache.In the following master’s dissertation, we analyse the influence of security, operating system and virtualization on the performance of Web servers. The first part describes virtualization technologies and the Apache Web server. In the second part, we carried out a research in the framework of which an experiment was conducted. For the experiment, we set up a work environment as well as developed test examples and the software for determining the performance of the Web server. The analyses have shown that it is very important which operating system and hypervisor are chosen if we want to achieve the optimal performance of the Apache Web server
