Using the Zend Server VirtualBox Appliance
VirtualBox is a general-purpose open-source virtualization product from Oracle that's targeted at server, desktop and embedded use. Using VirtualBox, you can create and run virtual machines and pre-configured virtual appliances for a variety of useful purposes like consolidating hardware, standardizing a development/production stack, creating a development sandbox, and more.
The Zend Server VirtualBox appliance is a simple way to get a complete enterprise-caliber PHP stack up and running nearly instantly. It provides a pre-configured Zend Server – running on Oracle Enterprise Linux – that's immediately ready for PHP application deployment.
