Benefits of the IIS 6.0 RPA
This mail focuses on the benefits of IIS 6.0 Request Processing Architecture(RPA). IIS 6.0 request processing architecture explained in my previous mail delivers very high levels of reliability without sacrificing performance, Especially,
� Increased reliability�IIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode prevents Web sites and applications from affecting each other or the server as a whole.
� Fewer server restarts�The user will likely never need to restart the server or shut down the entire WWW service, due to a failed application or common administration operations, such as upgrading content or components, or debugging Web applications.
� Increased application availability�IIS 6.0 supports auto restart of failed applications and periodic restart of misbehaving applications, or applications with faulty code.
� Increased scalability�IIS 6.0 supports scaling to ISP scenarios, where there may be hundreds to thousands of sites on a server. IIS 6.0 also supports Web gardens, where a set of equivalent worker processes on a server each receive a share of the requests that are normally served by a single worker process.
� Strong application platform support�IIS 6.0 supports the application as the unit of administration. This includes making the application the unit of "robustness" by enabling application isolation, and also enabling resource throttling and scaling based on the application.
