Zend Technologies Announces Zend Platform 3.0

Zend Technologies has announced the general availability of Zend Platform 3.0. Zend Platform 3.0 is the only PHP application server created specifically to support the management, performance, integration and scalability requirements of organizations that use PHP to run business-critical web applications.

There're three editions of Zend Platform available:
Zend Platform PS– Suited for small to mid-sized organizations:
Zend Platform PS provides the performance and management functions needed for every PHP deployment. The performance features are designed to maximize user responsiveness for PHP applications by allowing applications to run significantly faster. The performance improvement is typically three-fold and can grow to be as much as 150 times faster depending on the type of application. The management features are designed to simplify the process of configuring servers and monitoring the status of PHP applications. Key features include:
- PHP Intelligence - Monitors PHP applications to identify problems and record their root causes. PHP Intelligence helps to proactively fix the problems, thus improving application reliability and reducing downtime;
- Code Acceleration - Increases application performance up to three times for better user responsiveness and scalability;
- Dynamic Content Caching - Increases performance up to 150 times by caching dynamically generated pages;
- Output Compression - Reduces output bandwidth by up to 90 percent for better responsiveness and reduced load;
- Configuration Management -Simplifies configuration of the PHP application environment for easier maintainability.

- Java Bridge - Create applications that interact with Java objects or J2EE services;
- BIRT Integration - Integrates with your application to produce compelling reports in both HTML and PDF;
- SNMP Integration - Easily integrates PHP Intelligence events into your existing system management infrastructure.

Zend Platform ES– Suited for large organizations with scalability and reliability concerns:
Platform ES is the ultimate PHP solution incorporating all the features of Platform PS and Platform IS while adding enterprise-grade functionality for increased reliability and scalability in multi-server environments. By providing session clustering and a high availability fail-over solution, Zend Platform ES makes PHP applications more robust and lets them offer a more reliable user experience. Application responsiveness is further enhanced with off-line processing and a high performance file download mechanism. Key features include:
- Session Clustering - Provides a scalable solution for high availability session fail-over;
- Job Queues - Provides off-line processing for improved interactive responsiveness;
- Zend Download Server - Scale the number of concurrent file downloads by up to ten-fold for better interactive responsiveness and reduced load.
