Support and Security Fixes
Zend provides support for all components of Zend Server including the PHP runtime and Zend Framework, as well as periodic security hot fixes. Zend also provides Long Term Support (LTS) for end-of-life versions of PHP, currently including PHP 5.4. Enterprise Edition customers also can receive custom fixes to PHP or Zend Framework open source code.
Performance and Scalability
Zend Server enables application performance optimization at several levels. From bytecode caching to data caching to URL-based page caching, multiple tools help deliver maximum PHP efficiency. In addition, the Zend Job Queue allows running time-consuming jobs serially, removing application bottlenecks and reducing server load.
To manage workload, Zend Server allows easy scaling of applications up or down, both on-premise and in the cloud. Zend Server also
aggregates monitoring data across all servers in a cluster, providing a simple way to identify and diagnose problems.
Configuration and Deployment
Zend Server streamlines application deployment with a workflow for creating and deploying app packages containing code, scripts, metadata, and installation parameters. Applications can be deployed either from the Zend Server UI or via API, enabling iterative and continuous deployment.
Zend Server also ensures configuration
consistency across a cluster and monitors all servers within a cluster to trigger alerts on any configuration changes. This centralized configuration management also allows backup and restore of PHP settings, maintaining consistent environments through the entire application lifecycle.
Monitoring and Root-Cause Analysis
Zend Server provides a detailed view of the application ecosystem with monitoring dashboards providing metrics on performance and utilization. Monitoring rules can be configured to suit the requirements of each application, providing notification of PHP errors, high memory usage, slow request execution, and more.
When something does go wrong, code tracing provides a snapshot of the issue, giving developers function-by-function insight into the problematic PHP request and slashing troubleshooting time. Because developers can be assigned separate login credentials with read-only access controlled by application, they can safely access production debugging data and get problems resolved faster.
Enterprise Integration
Zend Server integrates with third party monitoring tools such as Nagios, as well as deployment solutions like Hudson or Jenkins.
Enterprises can use the audit trail to track all user activity indicating what happened, when, and by whom. Zend Servers user management can also integrate with LDAP directories. Furthermore, applications running on Zend Server have access to Java legacy code via a Java connector.
Development Tools and Runtime
Zend Server provides a consistent stack with popular extensions and libraries built-in, as well as out of the box connectivity to enterprise database technologies. To aid debugging, development code tracing provides in-depth diagnostic analysis of PHP execution related to an event or to a specific URL.
Zend Server Gateway
Zend Server Gateway is an innovative Zend Framework 2 module that provides key APIs for web services such as routing, authentication, validation, filtering and request parameter binding. It supports creation of both RPC-based and RESTful services without the need to write any plumbing code. Zend Server Gateway service-description files can be generated using Zend Studio 10s drag and drop interface. The generated code can be used to build RPC or REST style web service APIs while providing a lightweight and easy to use API to interact with the ZF2 MVC core components.
