The Problem

• One of top travel websites in the world• Business growth inhibited by home grown legacy systems• Long cycle from content creation to publishing• Marketing/content team and SEO totally dependent on IT

team for content publishing and page meta information management

• Legacy application for content creation and conversion to HTML.

• Static HTML generated from Legacy CMS. Very difficult to experiment with new ideas due to long creation->production life cycle


The Solution

•OSSCube:• Designed “n” scalable system to support business growth

goals• Created the largest Drupal implementation

• Generate 3 million+ pages dynamically • Sub-second performance with multiple pictures & videos • Give control in the hand of marketing team to publish

content. Shorten the timeline from content creation to content publishing.

• Powerful tool for SEO team to effectively manage page meta details without IT team involvement


Business Value

• Content team (Marketing):• Significantly shorten content creation -> publishing life cycle• Experiment with new ideas. Take a new page online, promote and take it

down after getting the required result• Manage content life span, redirection (301 or 302)• Responsive design for different devices• Role management. Only authorized staff can create and/or publish

content. • WYIWYG interface for content creation/editing• Manage content publishing schedule through content scheduler

• SEO Team (Marketing):• Dynamically manage the keywords and meta information of pages• Manage content from search engine promotion stand point• High performance leading to better SEO ranks


Business Value

• IT:• Significantly less overhead. Focus on managing the

platform rather than supporting marketing team in content management and publishing

• Robust and scalable platform• Ease of finding right resources for managing the platform• Centralized content distribution to different media. API

support was created to facilitate content consumption in different devices

• High performing with sub-second response time


The Stack

•Technical highlights• LAMP based Platform• Drupal 7 used as the CMS Framework• Near real time content publish • Content/data replication across datacenters• Memcache for content caching. All content served from

cache minimizing the database hits• Database scale out through replication with R-W load

balancing• Zend server for profiling and root cause analysis (Dev.

Environment)• Zend Studio as IDE (Dev. Environment)

Intro to Zend:Jim Reiss

Zend and Open Source PHP

• Primary global commercial OSS entity behind PHP• Zend’s founders co-authored PHP and Zend remain a key

contributor• Zend’s current contributions to open source PHP have

global impact:‒ PHP 7 is built on Zend’s PHP NG engine – and it’s lightning fast!

(releasing late 2015)‒ Zend Framework 3 will be released this year as well‒ Apigility is in use by hundreds of thousands, building API-centric

business-critical applications‒ Eclipse PDT for PHP – the #1 OSS IDE for PHP

Why Zend Server over OS PHP?

• The better ROI is to have developer focus and development investment in the company’s application, not in core PHP.

• Zend Server is a battle-hardened PHP distribution, supported by the only commercial entity behind PHP, long after the OSS community discontinues support

• Zend Server capabilities far exceed native OSS PHP. These value-add capabilities allow you to optimize your application, automate releases and dynamically scale as your business demands

• Using Zend throughout the application lifecycle reduces waste, improves delivery speed, improves performance and reduces risk – increasing customer satisfaction

• Zend Enterprise PHP is ultimately cheaper than free open source PHP – better TCO, with lower risk
