Zend has announced a new service that will hosting service providers to seamlessly offer their customers the dramatic performance improvements of the Zend Performance Suite.

Two hosting companies, premier hosting partner (mt) Media Temple and SplitInfinity Networks, have already joined the program and are currently offering optimized PHP services to their customers. When an ISP joins the program, Zend provides them with the Zend Performance Suite and an easy-to-use management console for administration of end-user licenses. The ISP partner then creates a "Turbo PHP" offering that customers can easily access directly from the provider to immediately start boosting PHP performance, handling more concurrent users and significantly decreasing Web application response times

The partnership sounds interesting, but I'm not one-hundred percent sure that this kind of integration is the way it needs to be...
