- To address this challenge, VMware is focused on three core solution areas in IT: How best to evolve the infrastructure to support this new world, Changes in application development to speed time-to-market for business-critical applications, that take advantage of this new world, And a new way of approaching end-user computing, to increase user satisfaction. <click> Let’s begin by exploring the evolution of infrastructure.
- http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903480904576512250915629460.html First we need to ask, Why the focus on scalability? Because every business is a software business. If your apps can’t scale, your business can’t scale.

Just like mainframes aren't going away anytime soon, neither are WebSphere or WebLogic. And just like mainframes, the sole reason for WebSphere and WebLogic are to main existing applications -- not to build new ones.
- Source: http://www.infoworld.com/t/java-programming/still-dont-think-open-source-hurts-commercial-software-guess-again-184168 The application server market has fundamentally changed: even in the most conservative enterprise new applications are being built on Open Source Apache Tomcat, not traditional heavyweight application servers. Customers have discovered they don’t need to pay $45,000 per CPU when Tomcat is a better solution.
- Recommended Forrester Reading: Lean Software Is Agile, Fit-To-Purpose, And Efficient; Dec 12 2008 Lean: The New Business Technology Imperative, Sep 29 2009 There was an arms race in the application server world a decade ago: implement as many features and standards as possible. But winning the checkbox battle means that you lose the efficiency war. All those features and spec implementations come at a cost: They require a good chunk of memory and disk. For example, hello world on a traditional app server might require half a gif, versus 50 MB for a lean, open source solution. This in turn means larger VMs, fewer VMs on a vSphere host, and ultimately more costs for hardware, rack space, real estate, and power. It also hurts your ability to scale elastically, since you have fewer physical hosts on which to scale out. Also, they are time-consuming to learn, setup, and maintain, which hurts time to market.

Five years ago that would have been built on Oracle, but that just isn’t the case any longer. Clearly Instagram is at the extreme end as a consumer application, but the enterprise has taken note.

- There is a set of technical themes that are driving this disruption in application architectures. First: the way that applications are being built is completely different: rather than being written at a very low level, they are increasingly written with Frameworks. This is essentially a higher level paradigm, one that focuses on simplicity and component reuse. In the Java world, more than 50% of ALL the java applications running today are written with Spring. But it is not limited to Java: emerging languages are all based on framework – Rails for Ruby, Node.js for Java Script, Grails, etc Second, the types of applications being written today are very different than they were 5-7 years ago. As we look out at our customers’ application portfolios, the majority of applications are driven by initiatives around mobile, SaaS and social. The development process for these kinds of apps is also very different: rather than being 9 month dev cycles, they tend to have rapid iterations allowed by this new paradigm: they are developed, tweaked, deployed, tweaked, deployed, etc. This has implications for the kinds of technologies being used. Third: data. This is a wholesale change. These mobile, SaaS and social apps put pressures on the database-only approach to data management, and many instances are themselves the cause of the massive spike in data volumes. Concepts like low latency / elasticity, multi-cloud are critical to this new generation of apps. And above all, the sheer quantify of data that they are dealing with is a real challenge. Finally, whether app teams like it or not, many organizations have a virtual-first policy for new applications. While we have certainly proven that any app can be virtualized, if you know your app will be running on virtual infra there are opportunities to architect it to leverage this powerful construct. Together, these trends are driving a real transition in the technologies being used to build, run and manage applications. -- We have seen a huge transition in the way that applications are built today: the development framework has innovated to the point that most of the heavy lifting is done in the framework – such as Spring Integration – meaning that your applications really only need a simple place to execute logic. And that means simple and open source have risen to the fore. The framework is the surface area for development today, not the app server.
- Why frameworks?
- In fact what we see very consistently is that much of this transition can be traced to the adoption of the Spring Framework, which enables applications to run on a simple container rather being tied to a large JEE container. It is no coincidence that the rise of Spring and the rise of Tomcat have largely paralleled each other. And this selection of Spring then drives a series of follow-on implications and architectures, with an emphasis on the simplest possible components designed with scale-out in mind, to the point that this architecture is the one we see over and over again in our Enterprise customers: Once using Spring, Tomcat comes next From there, organizations think about session state management outside of the container It also coincides with a shift in messaging technologies, typically to something open source And gives rise to the use of in-memory at the data tier This really reflects the maturation of the web era of application infrastructure and we see it over and over again.
- vFabric 5 is really focused on those 2 challenges: Application platform optimized for both the Spring Framework that is used by the majority of the world’s Java developers Licensed for the realities of the modern datacenter And as I’ll cover in a moment, containing the core components of our PaaS offering, thereby creating a pathway for our customers to the PaaS era.

- There is a huge shift underway in data technologies: in the previous technology generation, the canonical app was an enterprise app like SAP, being accessed by a few hundred users. Today, the canonical application is likely to be accessed by millions of users around the world and on their mobile device. This is forcing customers to adopt an in-memory approach as the only way to scale the data tier.
- And that is why we include vFabric App Director in the vFabric Suite, which is about leveraging the construct of a VM to automate the deployment of application infrastructure. There is a huge amount of interest in Application Director for automation, enabling a user to create reusable architectural Blueprints to simplify the deployment of vFabric components on vSphere.
