• Streamlined development, testing and deployment processes


• Portability across different clouds


• Application performance and high availability


• Cost reduction through increased efficiency throughout the application lifecycle

The open source Zend Framework speeds up the development of cloud applications with components for accessing Amazon EC2 cloud services. It also enables you to write portable code using the SimpleCloud API.

Zend Server is an enterprise-ready PHP Web Application Server that comprises a supported PHP application stack as well as extensive application management capabilities that improve performance, reliability and scalability of cloud-based applications, including PHP configuration management, session clustering, PHP monitoring and problem diagnostics.

With Zend Studio you can take advantage of cloud technologies by running and debugging your PHP application on a remote server, ensuring you use an environment that is similar to that used in production.
