Zend Technologies Ltd. is a world wide web infrastructure software company with headquarters in Cupertino, California, U.S., a technology center in Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv, Israel and offices in France, Italy and Germany. The company's operations are currently centered on the development of products relating to the development, deployment and management of PHP-based web applications, including Zend Studio. ==History== Zend Technologies was founded by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski who, along with other Israeli graduates of the Technion, further developed PHP after its initial creation by Rasmus Lerdorf. The name Zend is a combination of Suraski's and Gutmans' forenames, Zeev and Andi. In 1997, Gutmans and Suraski rewrote the parser of PHP-FI, originally written by Lerdorf, resulting in PHP 3. In 1998 they redesigned that parser completely, and named it the Zend Engine. PHP 4 is based on the first version of the Zend Engine. In 1999, their company Zend Technologies was formally established and received initial funding from the Israeli venture capital funds Platinum Neurone Ventures and Walden Israel. Doron Gerstel, an experienced business executive, was recruited to head the company as CEO. In 2000 Jim Jagielski was hired as the CTO of US operations. In July 2004, Zend Technologies raised $8M in a series C funding and established its headquarters in the USA. In January 2005 Intel Capital and SAP Ventures joined the existing investors in Zend Technologies. In June 2006, Zend Technologies received the Best Startup Software Company Award at the Israeli Venture Association Annual Hi Tech Conference in Tel Aviv. The award was presented by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Zend Takes Home Award for Best Israeli Startup Company )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 VCs Name Hot Israeli Startups )〕 In August 2006 Zend raised $20 Million in a series D funding.
