The site management system UMI.CMS Pro demonstrated performance records during the launch of the Bonanza promo portal (http://www.bonanzaland.ru). This entertainment resource was created to promote the brand of the same name bananas of the JFC group of companies (the largest fruit importer in the Russian Federation). Thanks to the successful creative banners placed in ICQ, in the first moments of the workload on the site many times exceeded the calculated one.
In the first seconds after the start of the advertising campaign, a record number of requests was recorded: 300–600 per second, which many times exceeded the calculated figures. To improve performance, several memcache daemon caching daemons (link: www.danga.com/memcached ) were launched, which are intended for use in UMI.CMS Pro. As a result, the portal gave dynamic content, sustaining the load of about a million requests to the server per day.
“Such a load is comparable to that of the search engines or the largest online media. The difference is that they use more than one server. If we talk about the capabilities of existing CMS-systems, then now known market players evaluate the ability of their systems to withstand 30,000 hosts per day, subject to serious costs - using at least two separate servers, one of which is used as an Oracle database, which is in itself It is not cheap. And we have achieved a similar result on one server exclusively with free server software! This result was only possible due to the optimal architecture, modern caching technologies and high-quality modern code of our product. The memcached technology used in UMI.CMS Pro is used, for example, in Livejournal.com and this is not the only innovation in our product. And such performance is not the last UMI.CMS Pro record, ”commented Sergey Kotyrev, General Director of Yumisoft. ')
The cost of purchasing a server and a CMS license is about $ 3,590, of which only $ 590 is the cost of a UMI.CMS Pro Business license. Thus, the solution for a highly visited dynamic portal on the UMI.CMS platform will save not only the CMS license, but also on the server hardware and software. And not just to save money, but also to win in many ways, such as, for example, the ease of use of a CMS. Competitors with similar platform performance will cost the owner of the portal 3-10 times more expensive.
“The low cost of implementation and ownership is only one of the parameters by which we are ahead of the competition. $ 3,600 for a high-speed, fault-tolerant system that can withstand a million hits per day — for a website with dynamic content, it's almost free. Any professional understands this. UMI.CMS is a high-tech, yet affordable system, ”said Sergey Zhuravlev, executive director of Yumisoft.
Technical details of benchmarks:
For the operation of the portal www.bonanzaland.ru a server was used with the following characteristics: Number of processors: 2 x Xeon 2.66 / 667 RAM: 2 GB OS: FreeBSD 6.2 Apache 1.3, PHP 5.2, MySQL, memcached - everything is installed on one server.
In the process of measuring the current load on the server was: load averages: 0.53, 0.61, 0.98 CPU states: 0.2% user, 0.0% nice, 0.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.5% idle Mem: 155M Active, 890M Inact, 257M Wired, 576K Cache, 112M Buf, 1198M Free
