Abstract

A method for forming a Web server cluster and structure thereof. An automatic device is used in present invention to analyze the Web page of an website and then convert it to a distributed Web page tied in with the user'"'"'s definition, in order to optimize Web resources. Distribution of website loading is thus obtained. The present invention applies an automatic device, a Web translator, to produce a Resource Partition and Location Map. As well, in order to lower the difficulty of implementing dynamic Web pages, a Web converter is applied.

Claims

1. A method of forming a Website server cluster structure, wherein the server cluster structure comprises a sub-server, comprising:

determining an absolute address of a resource of an Web page according to a predetermined database structure and a predetermined data definition;

editing the absolute addresses to form a Resource Partition and Location Map;

performing the absolute address conversion to the sub-server and storing the absolute address to the sub-server if the Web page is a static Web page; and

storing the Web page to the sub-server, and performing the absolute address conversion to the sub-server according to the Resource Partition and Location Map and the stored Web page when receiving a demanding request from outside if the Web page is a nonstatic Web page.

2. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nonstatic Web page is a dynamic Web page implemented in a dynamic sub-server.

3. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the Resource Partition and Location Map is stored in a storage device.

4. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein the storage device is a memory with a storage function.

5. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the absolute address conversion is performed by a Web translator if the Web page is a static Web page.

6. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the absolute address conversion is performed by a Web converter, if the Web page is a dynamic Web page.

7. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the Web converter is a dependent IC device implemented in hardware circuitry.

8. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the Web converter is a software module that is an integrated portion of the sub-server.

9. The method of forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the Web converter is a separately implemented software module that is a portion of the sub-server.

10. A structure for forming a Website server cluster structure, comprising:

an automatic device for producing a Resource Partition and Location Map;

a storage device for storing the Resource Partition and Location Map;

a plurality of sub-servers for implementing a partitioned and translated resource by dividing and converting an Web page according to the Resource Partition and Location Map.

11. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 10, wherein the plurality of sub-servers comprise at least a static Web sub-server and a dynamic Web sub-server.

12. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 10, wherein the plurality of sub-servers are static Web sub-servers.

13. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 10, wherein the automatic device is a Web translator.

14. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 13, wherein the Web translator is implemented in the static sub-server, and the Web translator is used to convert the resource address output from an external server into an absolute address for the static sub-server.

15. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 13, wherein the Web translator is a host.

16. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 11, further comprising a Web translator implemented in the dynamic sub-server, and the Web translator is used to convert the resource address output from an external server into an absolute address for the dynamic sub-server.

17. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 16, wherein the Web converter is a dependent IC device implemented by hardware circuitry.

18. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 13, wherein the Web converter is a software module that is an integrated portion of the subserver.

19. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 13, wherein the Web converter is software module that is a separately implemented portion of the sub-server.

20. The structure for forming a Website server cluster structure as claimed in claim 13, wherein the storage device is a memory with storage function.
