Microsoft Interoperability

In October 2007, Microsoft Corp. announced a strategic collaboration with Zend Technologies Inc. that will ultimately provide people with better control over their personal information on the Web and greatly improve the trustworthiness of Web-based interactions. Microsoft's relationship with Zend will enable support for information cards by PHP developers through a component built for Zend Framework. Using this as a stand-alone component or as part of the framework, PHP developers will be able to specify a Web site's security policy and accept information cards from trusted third parties.

Nirvanix Cloud Storage

Nirvanix has built a global cluster of storage nodes collectively referred to as the Storage Delivery Network (SDN), powered by the Nirvanix Internet Media File System (IMFS). Accessed over the Internet, the SDN is optimized for storing and delivering large files (audio, documents, photos, video, etc.) and provides massive scalability to deal with the challenges of exponential storage growth. Nirvanix also provides integrated media services (including image manipulation and transcoding) and robust web based management tools.

Since PHP is the platform of choice for Nirvanix customers, integrating IMFS within Zend Framework made a lot of sense. Nirvanix is proud to contribute its storage and delivery libraries to Zend Framework. Through the Nirvanix/Zend integration PHP developers have immediate access to online storage services directly from within Zend Framework.
