PHP 7 was officially released nearly one and a half years ago. Nowadays, its ubiquity in the whole IT industry does not surprise anyone. However, introducing a fresh technology to your product is one thing, but to do it right and exploit its full potential is quite another. In EasyDCIM we are definitely on the other side! Our goal was to squeeze maximum performance out of our system - and we succeeded. In our previous Blog article about performance comparison between v1.2.3 & v1.3.0 we prepared for you a detailed tally with hard facts on various loading times' differences. This time we would like to show you a more vivid proof that the new EasyDCIM v1.3.0 on PHP 7 works even two times faster than its previous version on PHP 5. The short animation below presents the time required to find a desired server among the hundreds of devices on EasyDCIM v1.2.3 (PHP5) and EasyDCIM v1.3.0 (PHP7). Our tests have been carried out on an identical machine with the identical number of devices. Quite a difference, isn't it? On thousands of devices it would have been even greater!
