Rapid Development & Deployment
Zend delivers an award-winning solution for organizations developing and deploying business-critical PHP applications. Starting with Zend Studio, developers have the only PHP IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that encompasses all the development components necessary for the full PHP application lifecycle. Zend Server then provides intelligence into the run-time aspects of the PHP application under development. A powerful integration between Zend Studio and Zend Server allows development and test teams to thoroughly check that code is free of run-time errors and potential performance bottlenecks before deployment.
In deployment, copyright protection and performance are key. Zend Guard secures your application from infringement by encoding and obfuscating the PHP code so you can maintain your intellectual property investment. Zend Server provides maximum performance by accelerating your running PHP applications with 4 modules: Content Caching, File Compression, Code Acceleration and Download Serving. Requiring no code intervention, the modules typically increase execution speed by x3 – x100.
Zend's development & deployment solutions bring together your development, QA, production and IT teams. These will gain complete insight into your PHP applications with interactive alerting and XML-based messaging for integration with other tracking and support tools.
Reduced Testing Cycles
Zend provides the industry's only integrated IDE and run-time testing solution that reduces testing cycles by quickly identifying problems early in the lifecycle. Zend Studio and Zend Server provide an integrated solution that can be deployed in development and testing environments to quickly identify run-time errors/anomalies and performance problems in PHP applications and database queries. Detailed reporting pinpoints the cause and provides the environmental data that contributed to each problem, eliminating the need to reproduce each error. Detailed reports can be shared between QA and development to speed the fix process. In addition, alerts can be generated in both email and XML format for integration with bug tracking systems.
Zend's testing cycle solution speeds development and QA through early identification of run-time problems and with a level of detailed reporting required to fix bugs quickly and efficiently.
Central Monitoring & Management
Zend Server provides the only PHP monitoring & management solution that actively reports run-time errors/anomalies on a deployed application. At a glance, Zend Server provides instant health status of your PHP servers and applications along with detailed reporting (with filtering) on a wide variety of application issues. Zend Server can be configured to proactively alert you about the most critical of problems through email or XML-based messaging. Zend Server also provides centralized management of your PHP configuration, ensuring that all PHP settings are configured correctly and consistently across groups of servers.
Improved Mean-Time-Between-Unscheduled-Interruption (MTBUI)
Zend's integrated solutions improve your application's MTBUI in several ways. Zend Server actively monitors each production server, proactively alerting you of problems immediately. Detailed reporting pinpoints each problem with comprehensive information so that IT and development teams can immediately go to work on fixing the problem rather than trying to recreate it. Integration with Zend Studio provides instant access to source code, debug and profiling information so that your teams can focus on eliminating the problem rather than spending time trying to gather information about the cause of the problem.
Proven Scalability
Zend's award-winning performance solution provides you with peace-of-mind about the scalability of your PHP application. Zend Server'sperformance modules automatically improve the performance of each PHP application, enhancing the overall user experience and allowing you to serve more users without investing in new hardware.
Seamless Interoperability
Zend's solutions provide interoperability with other existing legacy or backend applications. Zend Server provides seamless PHP/Java interoperability without the overhead of continual JVM instantiation. The PHP/Java Bridge provides direct calls to Java code using natural coding syntax. The run-time engine instantiates a persistent JVM once, providing minimal overhead and the performance necessary for composite PHP/Java applications.
Active Community/Support
Zend actively participates in the PHP community and provides the Training,Consulting and Support necessary to make your projects a success. Zend's PHP Training Courses range from beginner and intermediate, to advanced levels. The courses are live and take place within an online class environment, where students communicate and interact with the instructors in real-time. All of our instructors are Zend Certified PHP Experts, experienced in providing a professional and in-depth training experience. Zend also offers an array of Consulting Services to support the successful development and deployment of your business-critical PHP application projects.
