Zend - The PHP Company

Overview

The Zend Server Production Solution combines Zend Server, the enterprise-ready web application server, with Zend Server Cluster Manager for scaling applications across multiple servers. The combined solution offers cluster-wide application deployment for easy auto-scaling, built-in caching and acceleration for delivering optimized performance, central cluster-wide management and monitoring integrated with diagnostics and root cause analysis, and built-in session clustering to ensure application availability while maintaining a seamless end-user experience. Application capacity -- whether in the cloud or on-premises -- can easily be added or removed, to provide the flexibility needed to respond to changes in business demand. All of it is based on a complete, well-tested PHP stack, which cuts the time traditionally spent on tracking, installing, configuring and testing PHP libraries and drivers. Zend Server Production Solution users receive up to 24x7 technical support, continuous software updates, hot fixes, and security patches provided by Zend, The PHP Company.
