IBM is helping developers gain broader access to the company's open-source cache of products and unveiling a partnership designed to let developers build and deploy services and applications based on the PHP Web scripting language.
The Armonk, N.Y., company last week announced it is joining Zend Technologies Inc., in Cupertino, Calif., to create Zend Core for IBM, an offering that will integrate IBM's Cloudscape database and Zend's PHP environment, which are each based on open-source technology, said Jon Prial, vice president of information management software at IBM.
