Zend Technologies has announced general availability of Zend Server Cluster Manager, which extends the powerful benefits of the Zend Server Web application server across large-scale PHP deployments. Zend Server provides an enterprise-ready PHP stack that delivers performance optimization, application monitoring, problem diagnostics, job queuing and more. With Zend Server Cluster Manager, Web operations teams can centrally monitor and manage multiple Zend Server instances to ensure high availability and improved scalability of applications. Zend Server Cluster Manager supports PHP applications running on-premise or in the Cloud.
"With Zend Server Cluster Manager, we’re responding to the needs of many of our customers who run large-scale PHP applications developed in-house or based on PHP projects such as Drupal, Magento, Joomla!, and SugarCRM,” said Eldad Maniv, vice president of products and marketing at Zend. “Now they can manage multiple servers effectively with a failover solution that’s easy to scale, and meet performance and availability SLAs to get the most from their PHP deployments.”
Zend Server Cluster Manager fully supports cloud deployments, allowing IT managers to easily add or take down PHP servers, monitor multiple PHP servers running in the cloud, isolate performance bottlenecks or errors with built-in code tracing capability, and ensure consistent PHP configuration across a large number of clustered servers.
