About The Customer
Zend Technologies is a leading company in the PHP open source community. The company contributes to the advancement of PHP while making it easier to develop enterprise-class PHP applications through its Zend Server product. With more than 80 percent of websites running PHP today, Zend has a uniquely informed view into the world of application development. The company's customers are increasingly managing the application not just while it is in development but all the way through production, release, versioning, control and integration with additional infrastructure underneath the application.
The Challenge
Zend Technologies, a major contributor to the PHP open source community, needed to keep pace with emerging trends such as mobility, agile development, application lifecycle management and continuous delivery. The company needed to provide the right tools to the worldwide community of PHP developers. The challenge was to support enterprise-class capabilities from end to end, including mobile, compliance and security. The pace of business required developers to show results fast across a variety of devices without compromising quality or security.
The Solution
Zend Technologies adopted IBM PureApplication System and IBM PureApplication Service on SoftLayer to simplify and speed up enterprise-class PHP development. The IBM PureApplication System allowed Zend developers to quickly focus on the work that matters by rapidly accessing resources in an off-premises or on-premises cloud environment and using patterns to simplify and automate tasks throughout the development lifecycle. The IBM PureApplication solutions also supported a hybrid cloud environment, giving developers the ability to adapt to changes in demand without incurring unnecessary expense.
Operational Impact
  • Eased management of underlying infrastructure to simplify application development.
  • Lowered costs and improved development agility through a hybrid cloud approach.
  • Developers can quickly focus on the work that matters by rapidly accessing resources in an off-premises or on-premises cloud environment.
  • Developers can adapt to changes in demand without incurring unnecessary expense.
