PHP Application Monitoring with Zend Platform

Customers may never let you know when a problem occurs with your Web site, they simply leave and never return. Even when you do discover a problem, standard system monitoring tools do not capture the detailed information needed to find and fix the problem quickly. Zend Platform's PHP Intelligence provides PHP Level centralized monitoring and management capabilities that you really need.

Improve Web-application performance with Zend Platform

The overall responsiveness and reliability of PHP web applications is determined by a wide range of factors. PHP developers and web administrators often struggle with a patchwork of technologies to identify and remove bottlenecks and causes of failure. Zend Platform offers a comprehensive solution to this problem. At every stage of the application life cycle it helps developers and administrators understand and improve the quality, performance and reliability of their PHP applications.
Zend Platform improves the performance of PHP applications by caching pre-optimized PHP byte code and content in a number of ways, including file or URL based page caching, client-side caching and in-memory or disk based data caching. In addition to the powerful caching functionality, Zend Platform also offers automatic output compression to save bandwidth, enhanced job-queues for deferred and offline processing and an improved download server for optimized delivery of large content and media files.
In this Webinar we use a imaginary photo-sharing website, created using Zend Framework, to demonstrate the impact on performance and responsiveness by the various Zend Platform options.
