Nexcess made numerous improvements to their Magento hosting platform in 2012. The deployment of PHP-FPM, the PHP FastCGI Processing Manager, brought a number of benefits, including separate threads for PHP processes and advanced process management, increasing the reliability and responsiveness of Magento and other PHP applications.
Nexcess also created Turpentine, an extension that allows Magento to take full advantage of the speed increases offered by the Varnish very fast reverse proxy. Turpentine and Varnish are deployed across Nexcess’ Magento platform. Turpentine was released under the open source GPL2 license, allowing community members to benefit from the improved Varnish integration and contribute to further development.
A number of Nexcess’ team of experts will be on hand to answer any questions attendees might have. They’re always happy to discuss their optimized Magento hosting solutions and the other products and services they offer.
