What is NGNIX?

  • NGNIX is a software which acts as a web server.
  • NGNIX can also be used as reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache.
  • It is started out as web server designed for maximum performance and stability.



Why NGNIX is used? | What is the Problem Solved by NGNIX?
  • Let's say you have built an Web Application and been deployed in one for your machine and made running and served to your customers.
  • Assume currently the application which is severed to customers is running in port 4000.
  • After few days, you application got more traffic and seen huge spike in the visitors rate accessing your website. In this case you want to increase the No of Machine severing the application. For this purpose you are bringing another one machine and deploying and running your same application here and serving to customers to handle the increase in traffic, unfortunately in this new machine the port 4000 is already occupied by other application so you have deployed your application in port 5000.
  • So every time if the port number of your application changes for some reasons you cannot ask your customers to access this port if that one port is not working. That will bring an Bad Impression. Here comes the use of NGNIX.

 NGNIX can acts as a web server in central/middle man who will serve the things evenly with no changes needed from Customers side, if the port is changed for some reason.

Note: The Above said is only an Example to help you to understand NGNIX in cleaner way. 

NGNIX can solve more problems like this
  • It can be used for 
    • web serving
    • proxy server for emails (IAMP,POP3 and SMTP)
    • reverse proxying
    • caching
    • load balancer for HTTP, TCP, UDP Servers
    • media streaming, etc...

BIG DATA ANALYTICS Have you ever hit upon how Amazon and Flip kart could possible verdict what we want; how the Google auto completes our search; how the YouTube looks into videos we want to watch? When we open YouTube, we will be at sixes and sevens, when we find ads related to what we have searched earlier in the past days. This is where we find ourselves in the era of big data analytics. More than 3 trillion bytes of information are being generated everyday through our smart phones, tablets, GPS devices, etc.  Have we thought about what can be done with all these information? This is where the data analytics comes into play. Big data analytics is just the study of future build up to store data in order to extract the behaviour patterns. The entire social networking website gathers our data which are related to our interest which is usually done by using our past search or any other social information. Data analytics will lead to a walkover in near future....

Managing IT Infrastructure in Company - Cloud Computing

By
Managing IT Infra in Company Imagine you start a company, and you have a website for that company. The website is hosted on a server which you bought for your small company. Your company is growing and growing. People are visiting your site. Soon you start encountering issues with your website since the traffic on your website is very high and the people are visiting at the same time. When many people are using the same website at the same time, the server slows down.   On the other hand, people using your website will become very less in number if the server slows down. As a result the traffic increases which ultimately increases the power. How to solve this issue? You get more servers in order to resolve this problem which is quite expensive. You have to pay for installation, maintenance and service.  Instead put your website on the server which is online which will be always available and there is no need for any physical equipment. You only have to pay...
