ECM Provider KnowledgeTree® Partners with Zend to Enhance Its Enterprise Grade PHP Application

KnowledgeTree on Zend Server Commercial Edition Provides Speed, Reliability and Ease of Use

RALEIGH, NC — September 16, 2009 — KnowledgeTree®, an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) provider focusing on affordable document management software that is easily installed and used by business professionals, today announced a partnership with Zend Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of products and services for developing, deploying, and managing business-critical PHP applications.

Version 3.7 of KnowledgeTree’s on-premise commercial edition will be deployed on Zend Server, a widely accepted and used enterprise grade application server for PHP. Built to easily install and run inside a company’s firewall, KnowledgeTree provides a fast, reliable and powerful document management solution that will now receive a performance boost with Zend Server. Code acceleration and caching features ensure high performance and low resource utilization for business-critical applications like KnowledgeTree.

“Our partnership with Zend represents the coming together of two PHP players whose goal is bringing enterprise grade PHP products to the marketplace. KnowledgeTree on Zend Server delivers speed, performance, and reliability, particularly in Windows environments. In fact, early tests show response time improvements of close to 40 percent when using Zend Server, and that’s with no changes to our application,” said Philip Arkcoll, product manager, KnowledgeTree.

The business-grade PHP stack tested and supported by Zend ensures high reliability, enhances security and increases staff productivity. The collaboration with Zend enables KnowledgeTree to run on a fully vendor supported stack. In addition, KnowledgeTree customers can receive further performance boosts and application manageability with Zend Server’s full commercial features by simply purchasing a Zend Server license.

 

”Our partnership with KnowledgeTree demonstrates the growing interest in and adoption by end-users of Zend Server as a fully managed, supported, and high-performance PHP stack for both Windows and Linux,” said Eldad Maniv, vice president of marketing and products at Zend Technologies.

“KnowledgeTree’s leadership in choosing the Zend solution means they gain improved performance and decrease engineering and support costs. With fewer application management headaches for customers KnowledgeTree can focus on their document management solution rather than the environment it runs in,” continued Maniv.

KnowledgeTree 3.7 commercial edition will be available in Q4 2009. For more information, visit http://www.knowledgetree.com/knowledgetree-boosts-performance-using-zend or contact sales@knowledgetree.com for further information or to request a demo.
