Your All-in-One PHP Application Server

With Z-Ray, you can easily debug mobile and web services by:

• Seeing a high-level view of your sites’ metrics.
• Analyzing detailed data about PHP page requests and database queries.
• Monitoring events such as PHP-errors, high memory usage, and slow request execution.
• Recording and analyzing specific users’ sessions without affecting server performance or exposing sensitive data.
• Using the Z-Ray extensibility API to support custom apps and frameworks.

URL Insights captures detailed reports about PHP page traffic and performance, including metrics indicating: 

• The most popular URLs.
• Requests with the longest server-processing times.
• Requests with the longest user-response times. 
• Detailed insights about specific URLs.

Code Tracing records and plays back the execution history of your PHP applications, so you can:

• Gain deep insight into step-by-step PHP execution and flows via dashboards.
• Automatically record and monitor event workflows.
• Manually record an application’s execution flow to streamline troubleshooting.
• View the call tree for a selected event or trace file.

Job Queue provides offline asynchronous processing of PHP tasks and job-management tools, so you can: 

• Delay execution of “heavy” parts of web applications that originate from users’ web interactions, to help improve response times and reduce web server load.
• Track batch jobs, including their status, execution time, and output.
• Implement different schedule strategies based on time, job priorities, and dependencies.
• Gather and improve run-time statistics.

With the Zend Server Deployment tool, you can:

• Streamline and automate application deployments on servers, clusters, and specific cluster nodes.
• Minimize failures and ensure consistency across development, staging, and production environments by using deployment packages with your code, scripts, dependencies, metadata, and installation parameters. 
• Deploy apps manually from Zend Server or using a custom continuous-delivery cycle built with Zend Server APIs. 
• Update applications without requiring a web server restart to maintain 100% uptime. 

Session Clustering provides fault-tolerant, high-performing, session-storage tools for PHP clusters, so you can: 

• Improve linear scalability and simplify cluster setup. 
• Avoid setting up servers in addition to your front-end web servers. 
• Improve load balancing and performance. 
• Boost system availability by ensuring session continuity — even if an outage occurs.

With Data Cache, you can boost app performance by: 

• Caching the entire output of PHP scripts or script elements for specified durations.
• Caching different types of data, including strings, arrays, objects, and sensitive information such as credit card numbers or addresses.
• Caching items in shared memory, on disk, or in namespaces.
• Collecting cache reports and using analytics to add and correct rules that improve caching.

You can seamlessly extend the capabilities of Zend Server so that it interoperates with other software solutions by taking advantage of: 

• Plugins for more than 75 PHP-based products including WordPress, Drupal, Magento, Joomla, Zend Framework, Apigility, Laravel, Symfony, Doctrine2, Redis, OPcache, MariaDB, and LoS Modules.
• API extensions for creating your own plugins.

Zend Server includes a comprehensive set of application performance monitoring features that help to give users a complete view of how the application and server are performing during development or production. 

• Application-Level Monitoring - Get quick insight into performance, resource utilization, system health and usage statistics for your app and system via intuitive dashboards. 
• URL-Level Monitoring - Create detailed reports for the most important PHP pages located on your Web server — complete with data on slow requests, high memory consumption, and more.
• Event Monitoring - With event monitoring features in Zend Server, you get early detection of PHP script problems. Event monitoring is configurable for monitoring errors, failing functions, slow scripts, database errors, and more
