How to take the training course? |
The 1C-Bitrix company presented a new version of the product “1C-Bitrix: Site Management 14.5”. Among the new products: the patented “Composite Site” technology, which reduces site response time by hundreds of times, data exchange with 1C in real time, as well as “Scaling Management” - a service for easily managing server load. These and other updates have an impact on key indicators efficiency of online business: increase conversion to customers, ensure site fault tolerance during peak consumer demand, and also reduce the percentage of canceled orders.
In addition, the company introduced a new product – “1C-Bitrix: Enterprise”, intended for use by large companies. "1C-Bitrix: Enterprise" replaced the edition of "1C-Bitrix: Site Management - Business Web Cluster". A special feature of 1C-Bitrix: Enterprise is its extended functionality for large companies and online stores. The new product will be distributed through 1C-Bitrix partners.
More information about the new products presented:
Composite site
It is a patented technology that can increase site response speed hundreds of times. This is confirmed by independent tests conducted by the Rusonics company: the site response time after enabling the Composite Site technology was reduced by 224 times - to 0.002 s. The site's response speed is a key characteristic of its operation and affects many indicators. For example, when a website is slow, a visitor is more likely to leave the page without waiting for it to load, which reduces conversion and increases the cost of attracting customers. Also, the quick response of site pages affects indexing by search robots and increases the site’s place in search results, which helps attract buyers to the site. Thus, using technology that speeds up website response times by hundreds of times can be a major advantage for an online business and help it stand out from its competitors.
The Composite Site technology combines all the advantages of a static site with the capabilities of a dynamic one. A static site is a ready-made HTML page that does not contain any program code. It usually loads very quickly for the user, but is rarely used in modern website development and is not applicable for online trading. Dynamic sites use program code, so the site load speed for users is much slower. At the same time, dynamic sites are used for most modern sites, including online stores. "Composite Site" provides the fastest possible display speed for a dynamic site by displaying cached copies of site pages and displaying updated data in places where it has changed since it was cached.
The use of the Composite Site technology will be available for all sites created on the 1C-Bitrix: Site Management platform, starting from version 14.5, with the exception of those created on the First Site edition. To connect this technology, you must contact 1C-Bitrix partners who have the appropriate competence.
Data exchange with 1C:Enterprise 8 in real time
For 1C-Bitrix: Site Management, integration with 1C:Enterprise 8 has long been a key function, but it was in version 14.5 that functionality appeared that allows online stores to significantly increase their operational efficiency. Now the online store manager has access to information about products, prices and inventory balances from 1C in real time. Also, in real time it is possible to receive information from the website in 1C about orders, statuses and payments. This allows you to take your online store’s customer service to a new level: reduce the percentage of canceled orders, effectively manage inventory balances, and avoid wasting time transferring data from one accounting system to another. To use this functionality, no additional settings are required except for installing version “1C-Bitrix: Site Management 14.5”, installing exchange module 4.0 in “1C: Enterprise 8” (the module can be downloaded on the website 1c.1c-bitrix.ru) and enabling data exchange in real time.
Also, for the new version of “1C-Bitrix: Site Management 14.5” a number of improvements to loading/uploading in 1C are presented: complete data exchange between 1C and the site is accelerated by 2 times, subsequent complete data exchange is accelerated by 5 times, automatic resumption of exchange from the moment when the connection was lost, etc.
For multichannel retailers, the main value of these improvements is that now it doesn’t matter where the purchase took place - on the website, in an offline store or by phone - all information will be transferred to the company’s website and the client will be able to track the progress of the order status in his personal account.
Cluster scaling management: easy server load management
The online trading market has been growing extremely actively in recent years, and therefore the thesis that the fault tolerance of an online store is an important requirement for all businesses no longer needs to be substantiated. There are many not very successful examples of how online stores could not withstand the peaks of the influx of customers, losing customers and profits because of this. At the same time, managing the load on a website has long remained a complex technical task, requiring qualified specialists on staff, which is not always available to developing online stores.
In order to simplify the solution of this problem, the 1C-Bitrix company has released a special module “Scaling Management” in the new version of its product. It is designed for building cluster systems in visual mode and allows you to create fault-tolerant and scalable configurations. The module greatly simplifies working with servers for the owner of an Internet site - now, even without special technological knowledge, you can quickly assess the situation with the load on the servers, understand the reason for poor server performance and, if necessary, connect new ones and distribute the load between them. The functionality will be included in all editions older than the Standard edition.
Online store order management
The new version of 1C-Bitrix: Site Management 14.5 allows you to flexibly manage online store orders, which helps build efficient back-office operations, reduce the volume of routine processes and improve the quality of customer service. Now in the administrative part the functions of dividing orders into 2 or more parts, adding or deleting positions are available. This allows you to work flexibly with customer requests, without creating routine difficulties in taking into account orders.
Also among the updates is automation of work with delivery services. It became possible to integrate with three new logistics companies - SDEK, Delovye Linii and PEC. Now the product “1C-Bitrix: Site Management” has support for API delivery services, which allows, after receiving an order, to automatically send a request for delivery of goods to the logistics company, as well as track the status of the shipment on the order page.
"1C-Bitrix: Enterprise" - a new product for large companies
"1C-Bitrix: Enterprise" is a new product of the 1C-Bitrix company, intended for implementation in large companies and online stores. The product will provide the following features: data personalization, multichannel, faceted search, as well as the possibility of personal issuance of a specific product and its ranking, the ability to select a legal sales entity within a holding structure, e-commerce CRM, marketing management and much more.
"1C-Bitrix: Enterprise" will be distributed only through partners of the 1C-Bitrix company, and the cost of the product will be calculated depending on the features and complexity of the project.
"1C-Bitrix: Enterprise" replaced the edition of "1C-Bitrix: Site Management - Business Web Cluster", the release of which is completely suspended. Technical support, as well as the release of updates for websites of existing clients, made using the edition of “1C-Bitrix: Site Management - Business Web Cluster” will be carried out as usual. In addition, users of the “1C-Bitrix: Site Management – Business Web Cluster” edition will be able to switch to the new product for free if they wish.
For details on the terms of purchase and operation, please contact the company’s partners with the relevant competencies.
Other updates:
In addition to the listed significant updates, 1C-Bitrix: Site Management 14.5 contains other new items. Work with sitemap has been simplified, which will facilitate the process of optimizing the site for search engines. There is a new visual editor that simplifies text layout, as well as an HTML5 image loader. Development of the new D7 core continues.
Changes in the product licensing policy:
Starting from version 14.5, for the “Business”, “Web Cluster” editions of the “1C-Bitrix: Site Management” product and the “1C- Bitrix: Enterprise" web cluster servers will be additionally licensed. The standard license will include the ability to use two "Web cluster" servers; the license cost for each subsequent "Web cluster" server will be 30% of the cost of the initial license. Also, the “Web Cluster” module will be available in the “Business” edition.
Sergey Ryzhikov, CEO of 1C-Bitrix, comments:
“I think this is one of the most outstanding product releases. We have implemented three very important technologies: a composite website, real-time data exchange with 1C and visual cluster scaling. I remember well that when we first discussed this issue with our colleagues, no one believed that their implementation was even possible. That is why now we are especially pleased to present the result to our clients and partners.”

A very important parameter that must be checked after installation. The parameter affects synchronization with 1C, calendars, orders and much more where date and time are required.
The date and time on the server is not one specific date and time, it is actually three different dates and three different times with their own time zones.
What are the three places:
- Server time
- PHP time
- MySQL Time
For additional servers, before changing the time and date, you need to add the server to the pool; I will show this procedure in the videos below, via the web interface.

Don't forget to ask questions in the comments.
Grow your business and know that the server will withstand the growing load! The monitoring system will indicate in advance that the situation has begun to require a solution. Ensure high availability of the site by scaling it under conditions of increasing load, performing load balancing, distributing traffic and data between several servers. Ensure these changes are implemented in a user-friendly visual interface!
How does 1C Bitrix scale?
We will look at working with scaling using the example of an assembly with the Bitrix virtual machine (VM Bitrix). Our company has made optimal configurations and launching a virtual machine will be simple and easy (). Log in to the console and manage the 1C-Bitrix “Virtual Machine” in the usual administrative section of your website. Configure the server in a friendly and completely Russian-language interface of the monitoring system. Change and immediately monitor the status of all server components. Easily identify causes of performance degradation. Redistribute peak loads.
Watch the video how it works:
“1C-Bitrix: Virtual Machine” is a free software product, a ready-made reference environment on which it is recommended to use 1C-Bitrix products. A virtual machine will save you time and effort in properly deploying and administering your web project.
Virtual machine management
The system's completely Russian-language interface allows you to visually configure the server. While in the administrative part of your site, simply drag and drop server components and redistribute the load. The system will tell you what and where to drag.
Basic virtual machine management functions include adding/removing sites, connecting additional servers to a cluster, moving and scaling services (Web, MySQL, memcached, sphinx), rebooting servers from the visual interface, setting up a mail server (you can raise a unique E-mail domain for each site), the ability to manage crond services to run programs on a schedule.
Virtual machine monitoring and proactive support
The ready-made monitoring system inside the “Virtual Machine” is equipped with a graphical interface in Russian. You visually monitor the status of all server components, track peak loads and easily determine the reasons for performance degradation.
Having deployed the system, you will have a ready-made monitoring tool inside the virtual machine, you can easily determine the cause of performance degradation and see the status of all server components, and you can also track all peak loads.
The advantage of monitoring is that you no longer need to write requests to the server to understand its state. Everything works through a single interface:
A typical situation for any growing business is an increase in the load on the website. The situation is critical - the site can no longer cope with the increased load. This situation needs to be monitored in advance, especially since the monitoring system warns about the occurrence of such situations on the server. Parameters such as processor load, remaining free space, network load, etc. are displayed.
Enabling visual monitoring
How did your website perform without visual monitoring? Everything was configured in text mode in English. Only specialists could manage the extensive functionality of the Virtual Machine. This functionality also included server monitoring, but start/stop monitoring could only be done by a user who could “talk” to the server in its language.
The following are responsible for monitoring in the product:
– munin – prepares graphs
– nagios – notifies about all situations that arise
Unlike the early console version:
Now access is a convenient graphical interface. It is extremely convenient to work with monitoring.
For monitoring to work, the service must be enabled. Sometimes, to correct a complex situation, it is enough to perform the simplest actions suggested by the system. We recommend that you follow the recommended scenarios offered by the services and then, if there is no result, look for alternative solutions.
The interface as a whole is very simple. You simply select all the necessary functions from the “Global Actions” menu. All these actions, which are usually performed in terminal mode and require certain knowledge, are performed in the “Scaling Management” -> “Control Panel” section.
