Can you ID this succulent?

My brother-in-law in Southern California gave me this succulent. He doesn't know what it is, but it grows readily for him in pots. He has propagated it several times from cuttings. It looks like a cactus, but I know it's not. The tips of the branches are pink and it has some big spines on the main stem, but they are very sparsely distributed.
Can anyone identify this for me? Also,and this is probably stretching it, would anyone know how this might fare in the Phoenix heat? It seems pretty tough but is used to the Laguna beach area. I'm guessing it might do okay outside in the shade during the Phoenix summer.
Thanks!
