Claromentis and Zend Server Explained

1. Claromentis & Zend Server
By: Michael Christian & Alexander Polyanskikh

2. In general there are 2 types of Claromentis system
Small System
(low number of users)
Large System
(high number of users)

3. In a Small System we don’t usually use Zend Server
But the code is encrypted using Zend Guard
Encryption

4. Claromentis uses Zend Server on Large System to provide:
Encryption
Performance Boost
(Opcode Cache)

5. Zend Server 6 Zend Server 7
Zend Server 6 Free Edition is no longer
available with introduction of Zend Server 7
1 July 2014

6. What does it mean for the Large System?

7. In Claromentis 7.3 we have developed
Load Balancing Solution
This allows multiple web servers to be created
to serve as single system to improve
performance

8. We don’t have to use Zend Server to get Performance Boost
But you must consider the cost of Zend Server vs
additional New Servers and overall load balancing solution
VS

9. Is Claromentis long term strategy to rely on
Zend Server for Large System ?

10. No.
We have started development to replace
Zend Server dependencies for High-
Performance System
Encryption
Performance Boost
(Opcode Cache)
Obfuscation
PHP Accelerator
• Opcode Cache,
• Memcached
(Opcode Cache) delivers performance boost up to 300%

11. It is currently planned for Claromentis 7.4

12. Example of High-Performance system
Configuration after Claromentis 7.4
With Load Balancing
6 standard servers
3 high-performance servers
Claromentis 7.4
=
Opcode Cache delivers performance boost up to 300%

13. Also worth mentioning …
there is no limit in terms of number of
application servers that we can support*
Customer can start with couple of servers,
Increase or decrease depending on the load and performance required.
*Subject to performance threshold caused by database server or network connection

14. What is Obfuscation
In software development, obfuscation is the deliberate act of creating
obfuscated code, i.e. source or machine code that is difficult for humans to
understand.
Programmers may deliberately obfuscate code to conceal its purpose
(security through obscurity) or its logic, in order to prevent tampering, deter
reverse engineering, or as a puzzle or recreational challenge for someone
reading the source code.
Programs known as obfuscators transform readable code into obfuscated
code using various techniques.

15. PHP Accelerator
PHP accelerators substantially increase the speed of PHP
applications. Improvements of web page generation throughput
by factors of two to seven have been observed.[1][2][3]
