1.6 Zend products
Zend was created by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski in 1997. Zend delivers the premier Web application platform products and services for PHP applications. Zend supports PHP by writing and maintaining the Zend Engine and other PHP extensions such as the SOAP extension. All of these works are open source and donated back to the PHP community. In commercial business, Zend brings products and services to the market to help customers develop, deploy, and manage PHP applications. Zend\'s solution supports the lifecycle of business-critical PHP applications.

Zend has a fast growing product portfolio, including:

*  Zend Engine
*  Zend Core
*  Zend Platform
*  Zend Studio
*  Zend SafeGuard
*  Zend Optimizer

Zend Engine
If you are using PHP, you probably also are also using Zend Engine. The Zend Engine is open-source software and available under an Apache-style license. The first version, Zend Engine 1, was introduced in 1999 alongside PHP Version 4. Zend Engine 1 is the core scripting engine of PHP, plus many additional features and platform support beyond Linux/Apache. Zend Engine 2, the current release, provides more revolutionary capabilities including its built-in robust object model.

Zend Core for IBM
Zend Core is an enhanced version of the open source PHP. Delivering out-of-the-box all the necessary drivers and third party libraries to work with the database, such as DB2, Zend core makes the software installation easier and faster with insance PHP setup. Zend Core for IBM is a fully Zend/IBM certified version of PHP for the IBM databases. The product includes tight integration with IBM database server DB2 and Cloudscape. It also provides native support for XML and Web Services. It delivers a rapid development and deployment foundation for database driven applications and offers an upgrade path from the easy-to-use, lightweight Cloudscape database to the mission critical DB2, by providing a consistent API between the two.

Product highlights are:

*  PHP 5
*  Easy to install
*  Graphical Web-based Administration Console for Cloudscape servers and PHP environment
*  Bundled IBM Cloudscape server and DB2 drivers for enterprise database Web application deployments
*  Easy to access documentation
*  Support options available from Zend


IBM and Zend are collaborating on development and support for the PHP environment.

This collaboration reinforces the IBM commitment to the open source community and foundations, such as Linux, Apache, Eclipse, and Derby. The IBM newly introduced and optimized DB2 and Cloudscape extension for PHP are submitted back to the PHP community and integrated into Zend Core for IBM.

This expands the IBM investment in open source by helping developers more effectively create and deploy applications. The availability of Zend Core for IBM will significantly enhance developer support for the IBM Cloudscape open-source database, since PHP is one of the most popular Web programming languages in the world. In addition, the Zend Core PHP maintenance process ensures better stability and reliability of PHP as a result of intensive testing and bug fixes that are posted back to the PHP community of users across all facets of the market.
