ABSTRACT:
A system and method are disclosed for distributing, monitoring and managing information requests on a computer network including one or more client computer systems, a first server computer system, and one or more secondary server computer systems. Information requests from the client computer systems to the first server computer system are intercepted and examined by a request broker software system implemented on the first server computer system. The request broker software system examines information regarding the capabilities and resources available on the first server computer system and the secondary server computer systems to determine whether to process the information request locally on the first server computer system or to process the information request remotely on one of the secondary server computer systems. The request broker software system will off-load or distribute the information requests to the secondary server computer systems so as to load-balance the information requests among the secondary server computer systems. The request broker software system will also monitor the processing of information requests and initiate recovery actions in the event a fault or error occurs during the processing of the request. If the information request is to be processed remotely on one of the secondary server computer systems, the request broker software system establishes an authenticated communication channel with the selected secondary server computer system to transmit the information request to the selected server computer system. The secondary server computer system processes the information request and sends the results back to the request broker software system on the first server computer system. The request broker software then sends the results of the information request that was processed either locally or remotely back to the client computer system that originated the information request.
