FastCGI and Zend Core 2.0 by MichaelF on January 17, 2007 09:45AM

Following-up on the announcement of the Microsoft/Zend technical collaboration from October, we wanted to make sure the Port 25 community was aware of the first set of deliverables.

The technical preview of Microsoft FastCGI for IIS 6 and IIS 7 can be found here:  http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=1000051

Zend Core 2.0, which includes the Windows version of the Zend Enabler technology can be found here:  http://www.zend.com/products/zend_core

Combined, these solutions provide a 200-300% performance improvement for PHP on Windows offering comparable performance to PHP on Linux.

 If you try this out, we'd be interested in hearing about your experience.
