Rest Easy With Secure and Supported PHP Runtimes

For many companies, constantly upgrading to the latest PHP version before it reaches end of life simply isn’t an option.

For organizations in regulated industries, keeping applications on secured PHP runtimes with regular security updates is crucial to maintaining compliance with HIPAA, PCI, and other standards.

Compliance aside, many businesses can’t afford spending their valuable development time and money refactoring code for an upgrade.

For businesses who need extended security and support for their application, Zend offers fully-supported and secure PHP runtimes. With ZendHQ, the must-have ZendPHP extension, applications unlock easy-to-implement scalability and advanced observability.

Why Choose Zend for PHP Runtimes?

Keeping PHP applications current and secure sounds great in theory. But in practice, it means spending significantly more time and money refactoring your codebase for upgrade, and less time developing new features that keep your application — and business — relevant. That's where PHP runtimes from Zend come in.

Upgrade on Your Schedule

With PHP runtimes and long term support from Zend, you get the benefit of support even when your PHP version is no longer community supported. That means your team can update on your schedule and not the community release cadence.

Get PHP Versions Faster

ZendPHP ships new major and minor versions of PHP within two weeks of community release. Get independence from OS release cadences, and the freedom to install multiple versions of PHP on the same machine.

Maintain Compliance Standards

Keeping up with compliance standards like SOX, PCI, or HIPAA can take up a lot of time for development teams. With Zend's PHP runtimes and long term support, you get the benefit of fully secure and compliant PHP runtimes without the costs.

Provision and Deploy at Scale

Provision ZendPHP and consistently deploy at scale using existing processes with our ZendPHP Ansible Playbook. Whether you’re migrating from Zend Server or configuring PHP runtimes from Zend to match your application requirements, our tooling makes your transition quick, easy, and stress-free.

“[Zend] professional services paved the way for us to have a reliable, scalable, and enviable system.”
