What’s Happening with Applications Today?

Written with frameworks

• Developer productivity and innovation

New Application Types

• Mobile, SaaS, social

• Apps released early and often

Data intensive

• Emerging requirements: elasticity, multi-cloud

• Web orientation drives exponential data volumes

Deployed on virtual and cloud infrastructure

• vSphere

New Era Requires a Shift: Elasticity from Apps to Data

Develop using modern frameworks:

agile apps decoupled from middleware

Access app data through elastic data

fabric and/or in-memory SQL:

maximize data scalability

Use cloud-friendly messaging protocols:

enable flexible app integration

Leverage runtime container optimized

for vSphere: provision in seconds

Store app state in elastic data cache:

maximize app scalability

vFabric: Application Infrastructure for the Cloud Era

• Lightweight, cloud-ready, optimized for

vSphere and Spring

• Licensed for virtual and cloud

environments

• Per VM pricing for hardware independence

• Path to PaaS

• Cloud Foundry uses same runtime and

application services

Build for Tomorrow’s

Enabling Database as a Service with vFabric Data Director

• Enables enterprise “database as a service”

• Drastically lowers TCO

• Database provisioning and operations platform

• Streamline application development with

self-service DB provisioning

• First database enabled is PostgreSQL

database

• vFabric Postgres available in Q3

• Sybase, Greenplum announced support,

others to follow
