2. Agenda
• The changing approach towards application development
• New twist in classic IT challenges
• What Zend Server is?
• How Zend Server handles those new challenges?

3. The approach to The Perfect Storm
application development is changing
Business Technology
Disruptions
Always-connected web Rapid adoption of private
and mobile apps & public cloud
Deliver faster but manage cost and quality
Traditional languages Open, dynamic programming languages
Change
Waterfall development Agile development & operations
On-premise deployments Cloud deployments

5. What is Zend Server?
• Web Application Server for running and managing
business-critical PHP applications
• Production quality Stack
 A complete, well-tested and supported PHP 5 stack – 70+extensions,
ZF, DB connectivity and a lot more
• Two Editions - Free “Community Edition” & Full
commercial edition
 Both are production ready
• Rapid root cause analysis with application monitoring
and diagnostics (integrated with Zend Studio IDE)
• Application deployment
• Multi-level performance enhancement capabilities
• Zend Framework Integration
• Software updates and security hot fixes

10. Code Tracing
• Eliminates the need to reproduce problems
• Records live application execution when problems occur
• Activated through Zend Server monitoring rules or
manually
• Works in a live production environment or in a test lab
