This can improve the site’s performance, maintain the site available to its clients even if some servers are down, and to a certain extent help to resist to flash crowds and the . the project is discontinued and is no longer maintained.

Globule takes care of maintaining consistency between the replicas, monitoring the servers, and automatically redirecting clients to one of the available replicas. Globule also supports the replication of documents accessing databases. It runs on Unix and Windows systems.
