Zend
Mission-Critical PHP Made Possible
Zend, part of Perforce Software, provides secure and supported PHP runtimes, observability tooling, a managed web platform, and expert PHP services. It addresses the challenge of keeping mission-critical PHP applications secure, compliant, and performant when community support for a PHP version ends, offering long-term support for end-of-life versions and help with migration and modernization.
The product line includes ZendPHP runtimes with backported security patches, long-term support for PHP 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 8.1, container-ready and CIS-benchmarked images, and support for ARM and x86 architectures. ZendHQ is an extension for PHP orchestration and observability, offering real-time root cause analysis, job automation, and integration with existing PHP APMs. The Zend Web Platform combines these with autoscaling, declarative deployments, and a unified dashboard. Services include migration support, application audits, and 24/7/365 technical support.
Zend targets enterprises running mission-critical PHP applications, particularly those in regulated industries that cannot upgrade frequently. ZendPHP and ZendHQ are available as a 21-day free trial with no commitment, while the Zend Web Platform is available by demo. Pricing for products and services is available by request.
