Zend Server - PHP Server - Features
Application deploymentDeploy your applications faster and more consistently with Zend Server! Streamline the handoff of application updates from development to operations and build a more consistent, automated, scalable deployment process.Learn more about Zend Server application deployment » |
PHP caching and optimizationZend Server lets you optimize the performance of your applications at several levels. From bytecode caching to data caching to URL-based page caching, multiple PHP caching options help you deliver maximum speed. |
PHP monitoringGet insight into the performance and operation of your PHP applications with Zend Server. You'll always be aware of PHP errors, high memory usage, slow request execution, and more – and you'll have the details you need to solve the problem. |
Code Tracing: PHP debugging done right!Finding the root cause of problems, especially when they occur in the production environment, is a time-sink for developers and system administrators. Zend Server applies the concept of a black box flight recorder to PHP. It can record live application execution in testing or production, helping you quickly pinpoint bugs and performance bottlenecks in your code.Learn more about Zend Server Code Tracing » Read the white paper: "Troubleshooting PHP Issues With Code Tracing" » |
Job Queue: offloaded execution of long-running PHP scriptsWhile web applications are generally designed to operate synchronously, some tasks are better suited to asynchronous execution. Long-running report generation, order processing, database cleanup, and pulling of RSS feeds are some examples of jobs that can be executed asynchronously. Zend Server incorporates Job Queue, providing full support for creating, executing and managing jobs to optimize application performance and reduce server load.Learn more about Zend Server Job Queue » |
High availabilityIn order to provide a truly highly available PHP application, you need to distribute it across a cluster of multiple servers, ensuring that a given server isn't a single point of failure. Zend Server provides built-in PHP session clustering capabilities that are optimized for business-critical applications. Should a different server handle a given user's requests, the session will seamlessly fail over, and the end-user won't see any degradation of service. |
Application scalabilityAs demand for your applications changes, it's vital to be able to respond by adjusting the server resources available. Zend Server allows you to easily scale your applications up or down, both on-premise and in the cloud. Bringing new servers into a cluster is as simple as entering the new machine's network information; Zend Server applies all necessary PHP configuration settings, deploys the application itself, and adds the new machine to the cluster. Scaling down is also easy and quick, able to pull servers out of a cluster without needing to wait for user sessions to time out. |
Multi-server monitoring and managementAs applications scale to require multiple systems, monitoring and managing them becomes increasingly challenging. Zend Server aggregates monitoring data across all servers in a cluster, providing a simple way to identify and diagnose problems without needing to blindly hunt across different servers. Managing those multiple systems is also made easy, pushing desired configuration changes to all servers in a cluster and alerting upon configuration settings that drift out of sync. |
Automation and IntegrationZend Server has a built-in RESTful Web API for managing and deploying Zend Server and Zend Server Cluster Manager and PHP applications running on Zend Server, which enables automation of management tasks and integration with other Zend or third-party software. |
Zend Framework integrationZend Server makes it easy to develop and run Zend Framework applications, with the latest libraries built into Zend Server as well as Zend Framework caching support. |
