Enterprise PHP and cloud interest grows, focuses on quality and speed
“The software development industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with
enterprise-wide cloud development practices becoming increasingly attractive to IT
organizations.
Software-driven enterprises see the cloud as a means to improve collaboration and
productivity, and accelerate time to market with quality software applications.
This trend is evident in survey responses regarding developers’ intentions to use
public clouds for app development and deployment projects in 2012.
More than 60% intend to use public clouds, with 54% already specifying a public
cloud of choice. Amazon Web Services was the dominant public cloud with 30%.”

A virtual application pattern
captures a topology and provides lifecycle hooks
Zend defines an ideal topology for deployments. Contains best
practices – their expertise – for deploying highly available PHP
clusters.
Packaged as a logical pattern, with plug-ins for the component
parts (load balancer, cluster manager, application
server, database).
IBM cloud provides the infrastructure (virtual
machines, networking, DB2-as-a-Service) that it needs, and
fulfills the quality of service for failover and scaling.

Recap
Zend has defined an expertly configured architecture for
scalable, highly available PHP applications.
You can take advantage of this by installing their virtual
application onto an on-premise PureSystems rack, or
running it on the public SmartCloud Enterprise.
Those IBM clouds will handle scaling in response to
demand, replacing failed nodes, and offering DB2
integration.
