    Suppose that your website is hosted in a single server and multiple clients requesting for resources from the same server. Due to this huge amount of incoming traffic for your web sites, one standalone server is not sufficient to process the request. You may need to use multiple servers to host the application and divide the traffic among them. This is called “Web Farm”. In Web Farm technique the load is divided among the different web server.
