With PHP established as the platform of choice for Web applications, IT organizations have come to expect the highest level of productivity, reliability and performance while retaining the cost benefits of PHP. The increased adoption of cloud computing is another factor driving IT managers to prefer licensing models that let them control budgets while reaping the benefits of the Cloud. With the Zend Unlimited Subscription, IT organizations can start additional server instances on demand without worrying about obtaining additional licenses.
Available under the Zend Unlimited Subscription are Zend’s software solutions for developing, running and managing PHP Web applications:

• Zend Server Cluster Manager – management of multi-server PHP application deployments
• Zend Studio – the leading PHP integrated development environment (IDE) for professional developers
• Technical support – up to 24×7x365 phone support, PHP stack updates, and security hot fixesThe offer follows Zend’s record sales in 2009, a large percentage of which were attributed to new enterprise customers.
Among the first customers to take advantage of the Zend Unlimited Subscription offer is UBM TechWeb, a leading global business media company that owns brands such as InformationWeek, Dr. Dobbs and Web 2.0. “The Zend Unlimited Subscription has made it significantly easier to purchase the software and support we need for our entire IT organization,” said David Michael, CIO. “By moving all of our PHP-based websites to Zend Server, we can monitor for errors and slowdowns and then use code tracing to quickly hone in on the root cause and apply a fix.”
UBM TechWeb, a division of global media company UBM, is migrating from a Java-based proprietary platform to PHP and Zend’s solutions for its more than 60 websites frequented by millions of viewers. Their developers are using Zend Framework to build or re-architect sites, Zend Studio as their PHP IDE, and Zend Server as the Web application server.
Major European organizations are also embracing the new licensing model, including Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat Group Automobiles. “Zend gives us the most flexible, capable and cost-effective PHP platform for application deployment and management,” said Daniele Paolo Vigna of Dealer Network and Internet Services at Fiat Group Automobiles. “The Zend Unlimited Subscription allows us to standardize and streamline our development and production environment using a common set of tools and resources across the team.”

- Zend Announces General Availability of Zend Server 5.0: New Version Delivers Increased Performance, Faster Problem Resolution for Critical PHP Web Applications
Zend Server 5.0 Reduces Problem Resolution Time by up to 50 Percent; Adds Job Queue for Improved End-user Experience; Includes Support for PHP 5.3
Cupertino, CA February 24, 2010 — Zend Technologies, the PHP Company, today announced the general availability of Zend Server 5.0, a major new version of the company’s PHP Web application server. New Code Tracing technology in Zend Server 5.0 enables PHP developers and administrators to slash problem resolution time by up to 50%. For the first time, users have visibility into the behavior of their code in production environments, with the ability to pinpoint the root cause of application issues quickly and eliminate the time-consuming and sometimes near impossible task of recreating problems in order to resolve them.
“Zend Server 5.0 is a huge step forward for businesses running business-critical PHP Web applications,” said Andi Gutmans, CEO and co-founder at Zend. “With this new version we are delivering application monitoring and diagnostics as part of the base application server at no additional cost. The new Code Tracing technology revolutionizes how businesses can reduce time spent on problem resolution. This and other enhancements will help businesses deliver reliable high-performance applications and maximize end-user satisfaction while reducing development and management time and costs.”
ZEND SERVER 5.0 – ENTERPRISE-GRADE PHP WEB APPLICATION SERVER
Zend Server 5.0 optimizes application performance through multiple PHP caching and acceleration technologies, helps detect and diagnose issues through application monitoring, and provides a complete, tested PHP application stack for Windows and Linux. The product is backed by expert technical support, online updates, hot fixes and security patches. Zend Server is fully integrated with the Zend Studio PHP IDE, and Zend Framework, the most popular open source PHP framework, creating the fastest and easiest solution for developing and deploying reliable and secure Web applications. Also available is a free, community edition of Zend Server.INNOVATIVE CODE TRACING TECHNOLOGY
Zend Server 5.0 Code Tracing eliminates the need to recreate problems by automatically capturing in real-time the full execution history of an application in a production environment. Now developers can quickly find the root cause of a problem rather than following a lengthy, error-prone process to reproduce it. Code Tracing can be activated manually or automatically when performance degrades or errors are detected through Zend Server application monitoring.A new Zend Server view, based on Adobe Flex, provides visibility into recorded data, showing a tree of function calls, arguments, errors and duration, as well as statistical information that helps in identifying performance bottlenecks in production.
With Zend Server 5.0, PHP developers can cut troubleshooting time by up to 50% and ensure greater application reliability while recouping valuable time for programming tasks.
“I have saved up to four hours a day of debugging time using Code Tracing in Zend Server 5.0,” said Drew Ewing, a PHP programmer at CyberMark International. “For 99.9% of the debug processes that I’m concerned with, Zend Server automatically gathers all of the necessary debug information that I used to gather manually. The countless hours I used to spend debugging transparent actions like jQuery updates, are now freed up to tackle more important programming issues.” CyberMark is an Internet marketing firm that specializes in SEO and PPC programs, social media marketing and website development.
INTEGRATED JOB QUEUE
Zend Server 5.0 Job Queue increases application performance and responsiveness by allowing jobs (PHP scripts) to be performed asynchronously or at recurring intervals, offloading tasks from client initiated Web requests to secondary processing. End users experience snappy responses in their Web browsers while long-running jobs like credit card processing, shipping and other activities proceed in the background. In addition, maintenance tasks such as database cleanup and RSS feed pulls can be run at specific times or at recurring intervals. The Job Queue feature is fully integrated into the Zend Server monitoring system and Web console, giving developers and other IT staff one place to monitor the overall execution of their applications, including status of jobs.“Zend Server 5.0 plays a strategic role in helping us ensure a quality online shopping experience for our customers, even during peak traffic times,” said Josh Butts, director of Web development for Offers.com. “Zend Server monitors our application and performs code tracing to tell us when things go wrong and why, so we can quickly address issues as soon as they occur.”
SUPPORT FOR PHP 5.3

- Zend Technologies Polls Fast-Growing Zend Framework PHP Developer Community
Zend Survey Reveals Major Focus on Developing Business-Critical Web Applications Using Zend Framework, Growing Use of Mac OS X for Development, and Increased Demand for Training and Certification.
CUPERTINO, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2010 — Zend Technologies, Inc., today announced results from ‘State of PHP and Zend Framework Development’, a global online survey of the Zend Framework PHP developer community conducted in December 2009. Survey responses reflected a high level of satisfaction with Zend Framework across a diverse group ranging from independent consultants to organizations with 5,000+ employees.
“The Zend Framework Open-Source Project debuted only four years ago and already more than 70% of the developers are using it for business-critical applications,” said Zeev Suraski, Chief Technology Officer at Zend Technologies. Survey results showed that Zend Framework is used by 58% of respondents for enterprise-level business critical-applications, and by 16% for department-level business-critical applications.
In terms of a production environment, 85% of PHP developers surveyed named Linux as their primary operating system while 11% named Windows and 2% named Mac OS X. When asked to name their primary operating system for development, 42% named Windows versus 38.5% who chose Linux and 19.1% who chose Mac OS X. For these same development environments, approximately 27% of respondents said they now use Zend Server and Zend Server Community Edition.
“We are seeing rapid and broad-based adoption of the Zend Server technologies that we released last year,” said Suraski. “At the same time, we are focused on integration of the framework, development tools and run-time environment to provide the developer community with an end-to-end solution. We believe this will take the already highly productive nature of PHP to the next level.”
In other survey results, close to 70% of respondents said they use Zend Studio or Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) for development, and 18% use Vim. Close to 50% of respondents reported using PHPUnit to perform unit testing.
Zend noted that 46% of respondents said they plan to obtain Zend Framework Certification, joining close to 5% who are already certified. Developer Certification is increasingly viewed as a job market advantage, a view that is reflected in growing demand for Zend training materials including webinars and online training. Zend has responded with a new Zend Framework training and certification bundle that enables novice and advanced PHP developers to become proficient in Zend Framework and achieve certification.

Zend Studio 7.1 Now Supports Task-Focused Programming, Remote Server Synchronization, and PHP Archives
CUPERTINO, Calif., December 4, 2009 – Zend Technologies, Inc., the PHP Company, today announced the immediate availability of Zend Studio 7.1, which adds significant new capabilities to the company’s overall PHP solution. Designed to further improve developer productivity, Zend Studio 7.1 features new support for task-focused development, easy remote server synchronization, and support for PHP Archives (PHAR), in addition to previously announced support for PHP version 5.3 and deeper integration of the solution with Zend Framework and Zend Server.
Zend Studio is the only integrated development environment (IDE) for PHP that provides a complete, professional-grade workbench built on the Zend-led open source Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) project, currently the most downloaded Eclipse project. Zend Studio customers benefit from the huge ecosystem of plug-in solutions available in the Eclipse community. The combined set of capabilities provides a solution that maximizes productivity for developers while providing the integration to Zend Framework and Zend Server that enterprises require.
“PHP is now widespread in many enterprises and this update to Zend Studio helps streamline team development processes by providing additional benefits for developers building dynamic, professional-grade PHP applications,” said Andi Gutmans, CEO and co-founder of Zend Technologies. “Zend Studio is the only professional IDE for PHP that leverages the Eclipse ecosystem and together with Zend Framework and Zend Server provides a solution that addresses the entire lifecycle—development to production—for PHP-based Web applications.”
Zend Studio 7.1 adds features and enhancements to ease development tasks and increase developer productivity. New features in Zend Studio 7.1:
• Task-focused programming - By providing integration with the highly successful Eclipse Mylyn project, Zend Studio 7.1 lets developers be more productive by reducing information overload when switching between development tasks. Developers manage their work more effectively by identifying project elements – such as files, classes, and functions – related to a specific development task and displaying just those elements needed for the task at hand.
• Remote server support - By providing a simplified workflow that supports easy synchronization of project files to a remote server, developers can write code, debug, and test in environments that closely match the production environment eliminating many common cross platform errors early in the lifecycle.
• PHAR (“PHP Archive”) support - By providing support for the emerging PHAR technology, developers can group project files into a single file that simplifies distribution and installation of complete PHP applications.
• Plus numerous fixes and other software updates to enhance the stability and speed of Zend Studio.
In addition, Zend Studio 7.0, released mid-summer, has key features that include:
Support for PHP 5.3: Zend Studio 7.0 is a complete IDE for the new PHP version 5.3. Zend Studio’s support for 5.3 features makes for easier maintenance and more concise code with code assist, new syntax highlighting, and new language features in PHP 5.3, such as namespaces and closures, which allow programmers to better organize their code and use more dynamic coding patterns.
Point-and-click Zend Framework coding: Better integration with Zend Framework, the leading PHP development framework, delivers more productive engineering with rapid application development (RAD) programming, enabling point-and-click creation of standards-based, customizable, professional-grade Zend Framework applications.Enhanced integration with Zend Server: Zend Studio 7.0’s support for Zend Server—Zend’s Web application server for deploying, managing, and monitoring PHP Web applications—delivers significantly faster and more reliable software. Zend Server maximizes PHP application reliability, security, and performance in the enterprise with ongoing application monitoring, security fixes, product updates, and event notifications.

pr@zend.com - Zend and Varien Partner to Deliver an All-In-One PHP and eCommerce Solution
Varien’s Popular Open Source Magento eCommerce Software to Ship with Zend Server Community Edition PHP StackBARGENTO, PARIS – November 9, 2009 – Zend Technologies, Inc., the PHP Company, and Varien, developer of Magento, the world’s fastest growing eCommerce platform, today announced that they have partnered to make it easier for small- and medium-sized businesses to quickly evaluate, develop, and deploy flexible, state-of-the-art ecommerce Web applications. As a result of the new partnership, the Community Edition of Varien’s popular Magento™ eCommerce software will ship with the Community Edition of Zend Server, Zend’s high performance PHP Web application server.
The companies also announced that the Varien and Zend teams and open-source communities are working together on two major initiatives. Varien will be contributing a number of significant native ecommerce features to the open source, industry-standard PHP framework, Zend Framework— an integrated part of Zend Server. Additionally, both Zend and Varien will be optimizing Magento, Zend Server, and Zend Framework to deliver peak performance for ecommerce applications.
“Magento is a robust ecommerce solution with open source reliability and flexibility – putting top-quality ecommerce functionality into the hands of virtually anyone,” said Andi Gutmans, CEO and co-founder of Zend Technologies. “With the new all-in-one packaging of Magento and Zend Server, it’s extremely easy for any organization to set up, install and explore Web-based commerce on a Windows or Linux platform, with the confidence that their application will run with performance, efficiency and reliability. This combination removes virtually any barriers to developing high-quality ecommerce Web sites with PHP.”
The open source Magento eCommerce platform, developed with PHP 5 and Zend Framework, has been adopted by thousands of users and is implemented by businesses with Web applications processing many tens of thousands of orders per day using multiple servers and cluster architectures. The no-cost Magento Community Edition provides a basic and powerful solution for small shops looking for a state-of-the-art ecommerce platform. Users may upgrade to the Magento Enterprise Edition for more advanced features and support.
Zend Server Community Edition (CE) is a fast, reliable, no-cost PHP application stack that can be used in development, testing and production. Zend Server CE runs on Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X and is specifically tuned to address the needs of developer desktops and laptops, as well as smaller server deployments everywhere. Zend Server is also available in a commercial, enterprise edition, which is a complete Web application server for running, monitoring and managing business-critical PHP applications that require a high level of reliability, performance, and security.
Using Magento CE with Zend Server CE, small and medium-sized businesses can quickly install, explore and start building state-of-the art shopping and other commerce-based Web sites with features such as catalog and order management, analytics, SEO, merchandizing, customer accounts and shipping, and then deploy them with ease on Zend Server.

To further expand the ecommerce functionality readily available to PHP developers, Varien is also modularizing Magento and making a number of significant ecommerce feature contributions to Zend Framework, including payment gateways, shipping calculation modules, and others.
“Zend’s PHP solutions have played a major role in the development of Magento, and we are thrilled to contribute key ecommerce features back to Zend Framework to promote the development of PHP-based ecommerce,” said Roy Rubin, CEO at Varien. “Zend continues to demonstrate its unmatched expertise and strong commitment to PHP with products such as Zend Server, and we look forward to continuing to expand our partnership with them. In particular, we’re very excited that Zend Server’s support for PHP on Windows is unmatched anywhere else, as this makes exploring powerful ecommerce easy for businesses everywhere.”

+1-510-724-2267 - Zend Server 5.0 Slashes Problem Resolution Time, Boosts Performance of PHP Web Apps
New Version of Company’s Enterprise-grade Web Application Server Reduces Root Cause Analysis Time by up to 50 Percent; Adds Job Queues and Support for PHP 5.3ZENDCON 2009, SAN JOSE, CALIF. – October 20, 2009 – Zend Technologies, the PHP company, today released a public beta of Zend Server 5.0, a major new version of the company’s enterprise-ready PHP Web application server. Zend Server 5.0 includes a ground-breaking new feature – Code Tracing – that enables users to slash problem resolution time by up to 50 percent. For the first time, PHP developers and administrators can quickly pinpoint the root cause of a problem in production by viewing a “digital documentary” of the execution of their application – similar to a black box flight recorder in an airplane – and avoid the time-consuming task of recreating the problem.
“Zend Server gives organizations everything they need to deploy and manage business-critical Web applications, including the most up-to-date PHP, advanced application monitoring, and consistently high performance,” said Andi Gutmans, CEO and co-founder at Zend. “With Zend Server 5.0, we are revolutionizing how PHP developers can manage their production servers, significantly reducing the time spent on root cause analysis and resolution. We are proud to be the first to deliver this enterprise-grade feature to businesses using PHP.”
Zend Server is an essential part of Zend’s professional integrated solutions for developing and managing business-critical Web applications. Zend Server includes a complete, up-to-date PHP stack for PCI compliance, advanced monitoring and diagnostics for application reliability, industry leading code acceleration and page caching to maximize performance. This is coupled with access to Zend’s expert technical support, online updates, hot fixes and security patches. Zend Server is fully integrated with Zend’s Studio PHP IDE, Zend Framework, the most popular open source framework creating the fastest and easiest solution for developing and deploying reliable and secure Web applications.
The Code Tracing feature in Zend Server 5.0 takes root cause analysis to a whole new level, enabling operations, quality assurance, and development staff to significantly boost productivity and enhance application reliability. Similar in concept to an airplane black box flight recorder that captures the data required to analyze flight problems, Zend Server Code Tracing captures the full execution of an application in real-time, so IT staff can quickly find the root cause of a problem without having to reproduce it. Code Tracing can be turned on and off by Zend Server’s Event Monitoring capability so that real-time PHP code execution is captured only during specified events, such as those triggered by performance degradation or other error conditions. The trace is displayed in the Zend Server Web console to enable staff to view the complete execution history of an application and definitively pinpoint a problem’s root cause. Zend Server Code Tracing can cut problem identification and resolution time by up to 50 percent.
In addition to Code Tracing, Zend Server 5.0 includes many other features to maximize the performance and reliability of PHP Web applications, such as Job Queues. Zend Server Job Queues increases application performance and responsiveness by allowing jobs (tasks) to be performed asynchronously or at recurring intervals, offloading long-running tasks from Web servers to back-end servers. End users experience snappy responses in their Web browser while long-running jobs like credit card processing, shipping and other activities proceed in the background. In addition, maintenance tasks such as database cleanup and RSS feed pulls can be run at specific times or at recurring intervals. The Job Queue feature is fully integrated into the Zend Server monitoring system and Web console, giving developers and other IT staff one place to monitor the overall execution of their application.
Zend Server also includes support for PHP 5.3, enabling programmers to more easily maintain, organize, and deploy concise, professional code for their applications with modern language features like namespaces and closures.
With Zend Server 5.0, the product line will also support IBM i, in addition to Linux and Windows.
For a complete list of new features and functionality in Zend Server 5.0, please go to the Zend Web site at http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/server-whats-new
Availability
A public beta version of Zend Server 5.0 is available today and can be downloaded directly from the Zend Web site at http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/server-whats-new. The Zend Server 5.0 production release will be available by the end of the year.About Zend Technologies
