Elistaria

Elistaria does not only claim to be the fastest search engine friendly CMS, but can present independent tests confirming this fact. Elistaria was created because our website building team had to deal with an omnipresent issue: that there was no CMS, which was fast enough for us. These CMS were not only slow but were also difficult to manage for our clients. In the following you can read the explanation why it is so fast. First of all, a number of different computing clouds serve the application. Cloud computing can be pictured several servers, which work together to provide fast and smooth running of the application. However, the increasing number of websites hosted by Elistaria will not be slowing this process down, as the Cloud can be extended indefinitely, without stopping. We selected for each task the fastest solution, which suited all international market. Almost all competing solutions use MySQL database. The reason for this is that it is taught in the universities, so relational databases are more familiar to most programmers, who can use them to a certain extent. But this is far from a good solution for a CMS. Tests have shown that the MongoDB database that we use can be up to three times as fast as MySQL. In addition, MySQL was not developed for clouds, and by default it cannot exist in more than one server. In contrast, during the development of MongoDB, the primary concern was to be able to run multiple servers in parallel, incredibly fast. Whiles comparing MongoDB cloud services to MongoLab, we came to the conclusion that MongoLab is the best choice. It provides constant surveillance and a backup in order to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Furthermore, it even provides a replica of the database. The majority of our competitors, unlike us, offer CMS based on PHP. PHP is a programming language that was not originally designed to be object orientated; it has been adapted rather late to be compatible. In addition an old language is basically slow and difficult, it has problems coping with a large number of visitors, and furthermore it is difficult to optimize its ideal speed. A further disadvantage is that its development time is also slow. If we would have tried to make Elistaria PHP based, then it is highly likely that we would still be working on it to this day and the result would be disastrously slow. Fortunately, it never occurred to us not to build Elistaria based on Ruby on Rails 3 framework. The Ruby programming language is in almost every aspect superior to PHP, except that it is not taught in most universities. Where else could we store our Ruby project then, where the father of Ruby, Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto works as Chief Architect? So yes, by this we mean the world's best and certainly the fastest cloud: Heroku. In addition to the database and the application, there is another cornerstone for the speed of a Web application. This is the handling of static content (images, JS, CSS, PDFs, etc.). The Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront content delivery network was an obvious choice. If anyone knows how to provide a lot of files quickly to a lot of people then it is Amazon. CDN means that the files are always provided from the closest Cloudfront client, at an incredible speed. In Europe alone there are 6 such edges, in six different cities (Amsterdam, Dublin, Frankfurt, London, Paris and Stockholm), thereby guaranteeing the speed. In North America there are ten such edges and three in Asia. Wherever one looks at your page, it always appears at a supersonic speed. Most of the rival companies use only one server, which is usually located somewhere in North America or more recently some of them started to migrate to China, in an effort to save on costs while being fully conscious of the fact that they will provide an inferior quality to their customers because of this. We do not save on the Hosting costs, as we know that quick web site responsiveness influences the visitor's behavior positively. We also use, of course, for emailing the fastest and most secure service, Rackspace. It does not just allow virus and spam free emailing, but ensures that an email reaches the recipient, in addition to up to 50 megabytes of attachments, quickly and well. Rackspace guarantees your privacy, that nobody can read your correspondence, not even our company. In addition, using Outlook, web mailing or your mobile phone, you may be sure that your emailing is quick and efficient. There is one thing though that you cannot do with it and that is spamming. The sending of unsolicited commercial emails is a condemned practice by Rackspace and also by us. Every aspect of Elistaria's speed has been talked about, except for the DNA cloud aspect. The global DNS Zerigo is a cloud, which makes it possible to immediately record the DNA modifications; it makes a very low TTL possible, it is even possible to be set to one minute. In addition to this there are many geographically independent Nameservers available, so it can be guaranteed that you will never experience a crash and that your requests will always be fulfilled in the shortest possible time. The DNS server or in our case the Cloud components, do their job silently and highly efficiently. If it would not be working properly then the user would be unable to send emails or to view his webpage. In addition to the most known technologies and web acceleration solutions that we use, we also take advantage of clients and server-side caching, HTTP requested mitigation (CSS sprite, a single JS and CSS file, etc.), or sent text files (JS, CSS or HTML) and GZIP compression. For these reasons, Elistaria is demonstrably faster than any competing search engine friendly CMS. If you can find a faster one, then we are willing to pay 1,000 Euros for the discovery!
