These problems are greatly magnified by Web 2.0\u2019s heavy reliance on numerous AJAX requests to the web application, and frequent web service calls to partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBETACache could offer a superior alternative to memcached, as well as opening up a tremendous amount of other features to PHP application engineers through JCS,\u201d says Rock Mutchler, BETA VP of Technology. \u201cWith BETACache, we can now use the leading technologies to solve performance issues that developers face. At BETA we modified Zend Cache in the Zend Framework by adding our own custom object that makes use of the Zend Platform Java Bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Zend Platform PHP\/Java Bridge is a PHP module providing stable and high-performance access to a Java Virtual Machine. \u201cThrough this we\u2019re able to use the JCS package to provide an enterprise-class, pluggable and tunable distributed caching system written in Java,\u201d Mutchler states.<\/p>\n<p>BETACache offers a clustered, distributed cache system which automatically caches objects in local memory, local disk, or on remote servers. The Zend Java Bridge allows high-performance enterprise-class integration between the PHP environment and JCS. \u201cWe are excited about future enhancements of BETACache to leverage Enterprise Java persistence systems in our clustered PHP application,\u201d Hollander said.<\/p>\n<p>BETA Records will soon provide source code and documentation for the BETACache system.
