New apps aren’t being built with legacy middleware…
Not a single one of our startups
uses Oracle. I think the clock is
really ticking…. they've `cranked up
the maintenance fees.

… because customers are choosing open source
“Java application servers
have become commoditized.”

Analysts recommend lean application infrastructure…
Too many clients spend far too much time and effort trying to find the
products with the most features. Lean shops look for just enough, no more.“ ”
… and open source embodies lean application infrastructure
“Apache Tomcat will satisfy the deployment
requirements of most Java web applications.”

Stop Wasting Money On WebLogic, WebSphere,
And JBoss Application ServersBY MIKE GUALTIERI

Tomcat and other servlet containers are well within
the "good enough" threshold.
Through 2017, at least 70% of new enterprise Java
applications will be deployed on an open-source Java
application server.

New Era Requires a Shift: Elasticity from Apps to Data
Access data through in-memory
data fabric maximize data scalability
Store app state in elastic data cache
maximize app scalability
Develop using frameworks
agile apps decoupled from middleware
Use cloud-friendly messaging protocols
enable flexible app integration
Leverage runtimes optimized for vSphere
provision in seconds

The Cloud Requires a Shift in Licensing Philosophy
Cloud Requirement Legacy LicensingvFabric Suite
Cloud Licensing
1Apps deployed on
virtual infrastructure
• Per-core pricing with
complex physical
hardware “power factors”
• Per-VM Pricing for
hardware independence
2Web orientation drives
highly variable
workloads
• Peak-use licensing
• Budget wasted on rarely-
used licenses
• Average-use licensing
• No budget waste
3“Deploy first, ask
questions later”
• Server-specific licenses
• Cannot re-use across
different server types
• Fluid Licensing
• Re-use licenses across
different types of servers

“When we took to the sky, forty years ago, I don’t think anyone had
the vision that we would be using the cloud to actually deliver our
product, deliver information, and help us lower our cost.”

vFabric powers Southwest.com, support the majority of
Southwest Airlines revenue
Southwest Airlines – Application Modernization & Data Fabric
Challenge
Growth led to Southwest.com
performance challenges during
peaks like Super Bowl and fare
sale ads.
Needed a more elastic
architecture to dynamically
scale their environments and
maintain their legendary
customer service reputation..
Solution
Using tc Server, Apache Web
Server, GemFire, and vSphere,
Southwest built an efficient,
agile, and scalable architecture
to handle peak performance
requirements of their virtualized
application and data services.
Results
Boosted performance on one of the
travel industry’s largest websites.
Enabled expansion with new mobile
platform and creation of new
employee tools.
Agile architecture shortened time
required to integrate newly acquired
ATA into Southwest.com passenger
reservations & bookings services.
