“Zend Technologies today announced a robust set of value-added
products and services for enterprise users and developers of PHP
technology (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor). The new Zend products and
services are designed to enhance PHP application performance,
enable Web professionals to significantly increase their
productivity, and provide software vendors with the ability to
safeguard their intellectual property from copyright infringement
and theft.”
“The Zend Cache dramatically increases the performance and
efficiency of PHP-driven Web applications. It is a customizable
script-caching module that stores an intermediate coded version of
a PHP application in the Web server’s memory. This enables many
more transactions per second, significantly reduces latency time –
one of the major obstacles for e-commerce, since it frustrates
users and can deter them from completing transactions – and puts
less drain on computing resources.”
“The Zend Cache delivers the best ROI of any conventional
solution aimed at increasing the responsiveness of high-traffic,
dynamic Web sites. The Zend Cache includes an intuitive graphical
user interface that enables users to control Cache settings,
perform benchmarking, compile customized blacklists of script
sections that should not be cached, and view hits and other
statistics.”
