New Load balancing PHP platform

March 20th, 2010 @ Gareth Bult // No Comments

We’ve been working on a new platform for hosting PHP based applications and are happy to announce it’s availability as a stable product. This is something we’ve designed in-house and presents options for resilience, redundancy and load balancing with the support of multi-node replicating MySQL servers.

What does this mean in real terms?

• It’s very quick
• It can scale up to hundred’s of machines if necessary
• It supports XCACHE APC and Memcached for PHP acceleration
• Each customer runs within their own UID space, so it’s secure
• Multiple mirrored  SQL servers are available for your applications
• We can provide these features where other’s can’t at a fraction of the price you would pay for equivalent dedicated setups

What does it look like?
