LA JOLLA, CA — May 21, 2009 – Caucho Technology, Inc., a leading open source Java-PHP application server vendor, announced today that Caucho Engineers Emil Ong and Nam Nguyen will demonstrate the Quercus PHP in Java implementation on the Google App Engine at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009 in San Francisco.
Quercus is Caucho Technology’s unique PHP implementation, written in 100% Java. Shown to be up to 8 times faster than any other PHP implementation, Quercus leads the way in performance for PHP. Its ability to integrate the PHP and Java languages allows enterprises using both technologies to unify their deployments and simplify their development process. Quercus also allows pure Java shops to add applications from the vast array of open source PHP projects to their sites quickly and easily without the hassle of having to integrate additional cumbersome infrastructure.
Caucho has recently added support to Quercus for the Google App Engine, which offers a managed Java Servlet runtime environment. By combining these two technologies, Google App Engine users now have the ability to run PHP applications in this unique cloud framework. At the 2009 Google I/O conference, Caucho engineers Emil Ong and Nam Nguyen will demonstrate how Quercus works on Google App Engine one-on-one with developers as part of the Developer Sandbox. The demonstrations will include how-to sessions on using and deploying Quercus applications and on developing PHP pages that access Java objects.
Emil Ong, Chief Evangelist of Caucho Technology, said, “We’re pleased to be at Google I/O this year to show Quercus on Google App Engine. Google is doing something incredibly interesting and innovative with their App Engine, so showing Quercus along with that proves the power and extensibility of both technologies.” Ong added, “Nam Nguyen is one of the core Quercus engineers, so the developers at the conference will have a special opportunity at Google I/O to pick the brain of one of the people who works on Quercus everyday.”
