The Zend App Fabric offers services such as tracing of codes, caching, hot fixes and support, to name a few. It also makes use of the Zend Framework. It primarily includes the components of the PHP that are loosely affixed with one other.
Benefits related to Zend PHP Cloud Application Platform are reduction of cost, portability across several different clouds, high availability as well as high performance of the applications and streamlining of the creation, testing as well as deployment process.
