Why Run Zend Server on Windows Server?

• Better performance PHP opcode acceleration, page and data caching, and job queue features, to deliver top performance for PHP applications on Windows Server. Native MSI support

• Easy to deploy and use a complete PHP stack, including the PHP runtime, commonly-used extensions, Zend Framework, and Microsoft SQL Server driver for PHP, all available as a standard MSI installer. Native IIS support (IIS 5.1, IIS 6, IIS7)

• Easy to monitor application monitoring and code tracing to enable early problem detection and rapid resolution. IIS automated failed request tracing, the joint stack enables developers to quickly troubleshoot issues in testing and production and to improve application availability. Bundles MS FastCGI for Server 2003 and XP

• Easy to manage –greatly simplifies configuration and management of the PHP stack from a single point of visibility and control.

• Fully-supported – Zend Server customers receive the latest updates and hot fixes backed by 24x7x365 support. Zend Training and Zend Certification programs are also available.

What is Zend Server?...and why should I care?

17

...Well, Just ask your friend in Marketing!

“Zend Server is a complete, enterprise-ready Web Application Server for running and managing PHP applications that require a high level of reliability, performance and security.”

18

Let's try to make sense out of that..

Zend Server is:▶ A complete, well tested PHP runtime environment▶ Supported and updated by Zend▶ Comes with a set of extra features that:

Improve the performance and reliability of PHP applications Make it easier to manage a consistent PHP environment

Comes in two flavors:▶ Zend Server▶ Zend Server Community Edition

19

Manageability Features...making PHP even simpler

20

Installation

Zend Server uses OS-native installers▶ Linux: Deb and RPM repositories▶ Windows: MSI▶ Mac OS X*: PKG installer

This is good because:▶ Native means well-known, convenient, proven, reliable▶ Upgrading, updating, modifying and removing is easy▶ Automating, scripting and bundling is also easy

* Mac OS X is Community Edition only

21

Zend Server: Top Choice for Windows Environments• Collaborating with Microsoft since 2006

• Fastest and best integrated PHP runtime for Windows

• Native MSI support

• MSI-based hot fixes

• Native IIS support (IIS 5.1, IIS 6, IIS7)

• SQL Server for PHP driver

• Bundles MS FastCGI for Server 2003 and XP

• With Microsoft’s support & best practices

22

The Administration Interface

Zend Server's GUI allows you to conveniently...▶ Control the different Zend Server components▶ Control your PHP settings

PHP Extensions PHP Directives

▶ Monitor the current system status Extension status PHP status Logs Available updates & security fixes

23

Performance Features

24

Zend Server's approach to performance

A Web application's performance is affected by many different factors...

...This is why taking a single measure will only give partial results

25

Zend Server's approach to performanceReally improving performance requires combining different measures:

▶ Configuration Optimization▶ Opcode Optimization and Caching▶ Data Caching and Page Caching▶ Off-line or parallel execution

Not all performance optimizations are equal▶ Some are almost free and should be done in almost all cases▶ Some are expensive and should not be done without insight

Zend Server provides the measures, and the insight!

26

Optimizer+

Eliminates the stuff you don't really need:▶ Code optimizer

Optimizes certain code fragments to improve execution speed

▶ Opcode cache Caches the optimized, compiled bytecode in RAM Reduces or eliminates

compile time Reduces or eliminates

disk access

Data Caching

Provides a set of API functions for caching of data items

▶ DB query results, web service calls, complex or hard-to-get data

▶ Output elements

▶ Allows skipping slow PHP code chunks▶ Shared memory and Disk storage backends▶ Data could be grouped using namespaces▶ APC user cache compatibility layer▶ Zend Framework Zend_Cache_Backend adapters

28

Page CachingDon't execute a single line of PHP if you don't have to...

▶ Caches entire HTTP response ▶ Super fast (seriously!)▶ Configured from UI, no code changes required▶ Live / cached decision is based on request or session parameters▶ Variants can be created

based on request or session parameters

Reliability FeaturesMake sure it keeps running!

31

Reliability?

Getting your application out there is one thing, keeping it working properly is a different story!

Zend Server helps you by:▶ Making sure your software is

up-to-date, including critical fixes▶ Monitoring your apps for errors,

slowdowns and other troubles▶ Capturing data that can be used

when resolving any detected issues

32

Application Level MonitoringZend Server Monitor will watch your application for:

▶ PHP Errors (including warnings, notices, uncaught exceptions...)▶ Failing functions (user-defined or internal)▶ Failing DB queries ▶ Slow functions (user-defined or internal) or DB queries▶ Slow request executions▶ High memory consumption▶ Errors reported by Zend Server

components

When an issue is detected, Zend Server will report an event

33

Root Cause AnalysisRecurring events are aggregated and placed on a timeline

▶ So you can know if a problem repeats, and if so when

Each event report contains context information that can assist in debugging the event:

▶ URL, file, line, error message, repeat count etc.▶ Request information (GET, POST, COOKIE etc.)▶ Server information ▶ Session Information▶ Backtrace (if relevant)

For many errors, this information is crucial for debugging

34

Integration with Zend StudioZend Server integrates with Zend Studio and allows you to “replay” an event

▶ In a debugging session▶ In a profiling session

▶ This can be done with one button click from the GUI▶ …or, by exporting the event data and passing it to a developer,

from the developer's IDE

▶ You can also “replay” on an alternate testing server

In many cases this eliminates time spent on reproduction

35

Code TracingReproducing an issue is not always possible...

▶ Dependency on specific SESSION state▶ Dependency on specific database state▶ “Replaying” the request is risky or impossible

Zend Code Tracing can capture the entire execution flow

▶ ...and, it is efficient enough to be used in most production environments!

“Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.”- Billy

Wilder

36

Code TracingCan be used in several ways:

▶ Automatic tracing in case of a Zend Monitor event For example a PHP error, a slow execution or high memory usage

▶ Manually through the GUI or from a browser▶ Through API

Can capture the following information:▶ Execution tree including function calls and included files▶ Function agrument and return parameters▶ Output and header generation▶ Location of errors, exceptions and Zend Monitor events▶ For each node, execution time and memory usage is

measured

37

Code Tracing

38

Updates & Hot Fixes from ZendZend Server is regularly updated with...

▶ PHP releases▶ Zend Framework releases▶ Important patches to PHP and supporting components

Bugs fixed by the PHP team but not yet released Patches committed by Zend to the PHP source tree, but not yet

released

Zend also issues hot-fixes when needed▶ All relevant security reports are analyzed by Zend▶ This includes PHP, extensions, libraries, and other

components▶ Zend is committed to releasing hot-fixes for critical issues
