ABSTRACT:
A data processing system including a plurality of web server processing cards coupled with a midplane is provided. A first network interface card may be coupled with each of the web server processing cards through the midplane. Each of the plurality of web server processing cards may be coupled with a public network communication router over a first communication path. The public network communication router may be coupled with a public network and operable to route data packets to and from the web server processing cards. In accordance with one embodiment, each of the plurality of web server processing cards may be coupled with a private network communication router, over a second communication path. In this embodiment, the private network communication router may be coupled with at least one private processing system operable to provide processing services upon receipt of a processing request from one of the plurality of web server processing cards. In another embodiment, each of the plurality of web server processing cards may be coupled with a management system operable to monitor and manage the web server processing cards.
