Competitive organizations demand that IT leaders increase the velocity o new
application development. By improving time to market, enterprises can more
eectively address competitive threats, accelerate success in new business
opportunities and meet business objectives. Business applications are central
to many strategic initiatives. Thereore, it is imperative or IT to simpliy the
development, delivery and management o new customer-acing and internal
applications while ensuring that they meet evolving business requirements.
Yet delivering increasingly sophisticated unctionality in shorter development
cycles is dicult or teams relying on heavyweight application development
and runtime environments that predate the cloud computing era. For example,
development teams are challenged to leverage ull-stack Java Platorm,
Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application servers. According to Gartner, a drastic
application overhaul is required to eliminate redundancy, standardize business
processes, consolidate solutions and establish platorms or tomorrows agile
and growing business environment.1
For IT leaders looking to transorm the application liecycle, VMware provides a
customer-proven cloud application platorm or modernizing legacy applications
and accelerating new, modern application development and delivery. VMware
enables enterprises to ollow a pragmatic path that increases agility while reducing
the complexity and operational costs o application development and delivery.
Modernize Applications.
Todays IT organizations are aware that modern applications are dramatically
dierent rom prior generations and increasingly:
Web-oriented Users expect access to applications and data rom a variety o
sources, on a variety o devicesanytime, anywhere. This requires enterprises
to provide Web-based access rom desktop computers and mobile devices.
Dynamic To handle predictable and sudden unpredictable spikes in trac,
businesses must deploy inrastructure that easily scales applications, pools
resources, and quickly and automatically adjusts capacityadding it and
releasing it, as needed. Businesses must also be able to easily recongureapplication architecture to ensure greater application speed or reliability.
Real-time Business and government leaders want to make decisions based
on real-time situational awareness. Whether the goal is to improve customer
satisaction, create competitive advantage or identiy potential threats, they
cannot aord to act on outdated inormation.

Data-intensive The volume o
data fowing through businesses is
predicted to grow by 5060
percent a year.2
Managing thisgrowth using a traditional relational
database approach is costly
because these systems are unable
to scale horizontally. Organizations
want access to real-time data
delivered more cost-eciently and
systems that can scale elastically
as demand requires.
Virtualized By enabling aster
provisioning, virtualization allows
enterprises to simpliy application
delivery and urther reduce time to
market or new applications.
Modern applications will likely be
deployed on virtual inrastructure
or within private, public or hybrid
clouds. Organizations must
consider how to ensure that these
applications are portable so that
they can run in the most
appropriate environment or
business needs.
Develop and Deploy Modern
Applications with VMware.
IT organizations need a new
approach to application development
and deployment to accommodate
these modern application
characteristics. They need a new
model conceived and designed with
the cloud in mind. As the global
leader in virtualization and cloud
inrastructure, VMware delivers it.
The VMware vFabric Cloud
Application Platorm is engineered
to enable IT to eciently build, run
and scale modern, data-intensive
applications and deploy them inprivate, public or enterprise hybrid
clouds. The vFabric platorm
improves application delivery by
intelligently leveraging underlying
inrastructure or the highest
application perormance, quality o
service and resource utilization.
Figure 1: VMware Cloud Application Platform solutions support the complete cloud
application lifecycle.
VMware Solutions Enhance Application Development, Delivery and Management
IT is undergoing a transormation:
Applications are changing,
inrastructure is changing,
and organizations are looking
or a pathway to harness the
promise o the cloud. Application
platorms o today have
markedly dierent requirements
than those we have relied upon
in the past. VMware vFabric is
evolving to meet the needs o
todays organizations.3

Reduce Development Complexity.Modernize Your Applications.
The typical IT organization has
become relentlessly tactical in nature,
driven by short-term imperatives,
reports Gartner. The result is an
application portolio that is aging,
expensive and infexible.4 VMware
solutions accelerate application
modernization by reducing
development complexity. At the same
time, they dramatically lower costs
and enable a fexible application
deployment model that bettersupports users and business needs.
Increase Developer Productivity with
a Proven Application Framework.
IT organizations have embraced the
Spring development ramework to
deliver high-quality, modern enterprise
and Web applications. More than three
million developers use Springnow
the most popular Java development
ramework in the world.
Unlike legacy Java EE platorms,
Spring speeds the creation o
enterprise, Web and integration
applications. The core values o
Spring include increasing developer
productivity, and ensuring
application portability and quality.
These capabilities have made Spring
the de acto standard or developing
enterprise Java applications
or banks, governments and
e-commerce, as well as or packaged
independent sotware vendors (ISVs).
The application development
ramework o choice or 83
percent o organizations with large
development teams,5 the open
source Spring ramework delivers
dramatic advantages in every phase
o the application liecycle.
Spring signicantly reduces the
amount o coding required, ensures
high reusability o code, supports
application portability and simplies
application testing. A recent study
shows that Spring accelerates overall
development by more than 50
percent compared with traditional
approaches, greatly speeding time to
market or new applications.6
For enterprises modernizingapplications and moving to the cloud,
vFabric with Spring provides the
best path orward or developing
mobile and social applications in a
ramework already amiliar to millions
o developers. New capabilities in
Spring Mobile, Spring Android and
Spring Social equip applications
with the latest eatures to run on
the newest generation o end-user
devices. Spring Data Access adds
the capability to interact with
non-relational data sources such
as key-value, graph and document
data stores, as well as distributed
data caches.
Gain Deployment Efciency and
Productivity with vFabric.
When it comes to application
deployment, platorm consistency
can be a major challenge or
enterprise development teams. For
example, a production environment
might run on legacy Java EEapplication servers, but developers
still choose to build and test
applications using a lightweight
application server. The vFabric
platorm includes an enterprise
version o Apache Tomcata popular,
lightweight application server
that runs in production at some o

vFabric leverages Tomcat at its core
to simply and uniy development,
testing and production environments,
decreasing the cost o updates.
The fexible solution also ensures
consistent management.
Reduce Costs with Lightweight
Runtime Services.
Lightweight runtime environments
such as vFabric typically cost
enterprises 6070 percent less
than legacy solutions.8 They also
enable greater application server
consolidation ratiosat least two
times greaterwhen deployed on
VMware virtualized environments.9
Purpose-built to support applications
developed with modern rameworks
such as Spring, vFabric provides
superior scalability, perormance,
management and system utilization.
Unlike traditional Java EE servers
with large disk and memory
ootprints, the vFabric platorms
lean architecture maximizes disk,
memory and CPU resources. When
deployed with VMware vSphere

platorm used to optimize underlying
computing inrastructuresthe
tightly integrated solution ensures
that applications deliver unmatched
deployment automation and sel-
service provisioning.

Data in the enterprise is growing
exponentially year ater year. To
harness its value, businesses are
seeking better ways to achieve elastic
scale. They also want to simpliy
database provisioning and enorce
governance to improve security
and eliminate database sprawl.
Meanwhile, real-time access to data
is now a business imperative.
With most enterprise data storedin monolithic relational database
management systems (RDBMSs),
businesses are being orced to scale
their databases vertically by adding
larger machines in big quantities to
handle the current explosion o data.
However, this has increased license
costs and management overhead.
Todays enterprises want to scale
systems both incrementallyby
leveraging commoditized x86
hardwareand dynamically, up and
down, in response to variable data-
consumption demands. Yet their
RDBMSs are incapable o partitioning
data; nor are they optimized or
virtual or cloud environments.
The latency issues associated with
traditional RDBMS queriescoupled
with the challenge o working with
outdated inormationsubject
enterprises to undetected risk and
missed revenue opportunities. For
example, a less than optimal userexperience with a travel Web site
would likely result in a lost sale. Now
imagine hundreds o lost salesall
because o slow page rereshes and
outdated booking inormation.
IT teams must enable the regional
and global distribution o very
dynamic data. In business and
government, the need has never been
greater or IT to provide decision
makers with a single, consistent view
o data that is constantly changing.
With data rapidly crossing borders,
signicant events must be detected
so that the necessary systems
are updated and the appropriate
personnel are alerted.
Speed Data Delivery.
As IT leaders look or ways to
mitigate data latency issues and
achieve real-time data capabilities,
they are rethinking their database-
centric architectures. To support
cloud applications and to improve
scalability and perormance while
reducing costs, many are moving
rom RDBMSs designed decades
ago to non-traditional databases.
vFabric improves high-perormance
data management by delivering
in-memory speed and dynamic
scalability with the reliability, security
and data management capabilities o
a traditional database.
Gain Elastic Scale and High-
Perormance Data with VMware.
Memory-based database technology
which can complement or replace
existing database inrastructurehas
emerged as the approach o choice
or global data grids and cloud data
management. By managing datain-memory, vFabric is designed to
handle exponential data growth and
real-time data access and processing.
It allows data to sleep in the database
but to live in the data abric, so
that data is always accessible and
up to date.

management platorm, vFabric
provides dynamic scalability, high
perormance and database-like
persistence. It blends advanced
techniques such as replication,
partitioning, data-aware routing
and continuous querying to help
enterprises achieve unparalleled
perormance. It also includes
database-class reliability and improves
operational eciency with non-
disruptive up-and-down scalability.
Power Database as a Service
or the Cloud.
Frustrating to both developmentteams and database administrators
(DBAs), the cumbersome database
provisioning process has led
to unprecedented database
sprawl. vFabric oers just-in-time
provisioning o ully congured
databases in minutes. Included are
built-in, automated policies to enable,
monitor and test database backup
and recovery, saving DBAs time and
enhancing business agility. vFabric
increases developer productivity
by allowing a developer to use a
sel-service portal to get a clone
up and ready in minutesrather
than daysregardless o database
size. A series o vSphere optimized
databases, beginning with the
popular PostgreSQL, will allow ITteams to take advantage o virtual
and cloud evironments.

VMware enables the delivery o
enterprise private clouds, and it
partners with more than 3,500 service
providers to deliver compatible public
cloud inrastructures. The vFabric
Cloud Application Platorm provides a
pragmatic path to a seamless, dynamic
operating environment through a
common runtime environment and
common management services
between clouds.
To provide maximum fexibility or IT
teams to deploy applications onsite
or osite, VMware has established
strategic relationships with leading
service providers including Bluelock,
Colt, Terremark, SingTel, CSC and
Verizon. These partnerships deliver
application portability and enable
developers to quickly and easily
deploy Spring applications on their
choice o public cloud platorms
powered by these VMware vCloud
Datacenter service providers.
Developers can dynamically move
Spring applications, as needed,
between a private cloud environment
and VMware enabled clouds hosted
by vCloud providers. In act, all ve
cloud service providers placed in the
leaders quadrant in the most recent
Gartner, Inc. Magic Quadrant or
Cloud Inrastructure as a Service and
Web Hosting12 are partially or wholly
VMware based.
This integrated approach bridges
private cloud application services
with available public cloud services,
enabling enterprises to achieve the
ull fexibility and benets o cloud
computing. The result is a hybrid
clouda model that oers the best o
both worlds at the lowest total cost,
without compromise.
Hybrid clouds enable lower IT
spend through virtualization andconsolidation, optimized workload
sourcing, optimized provisioning, and
higher productivity in application
development and maintenance.
According to recent VMware
and EMC research, hybrid cloud
deployment would typically reduce
total IT spend by approximately
2030 percent.13

Meet Your Business Needs.Let Licenses Match Your Use.
VMware understands how important
it is or businesses to rapidly and
cost-eectively respond to changing
requirements. Whether your
enterprise needs to meet seasonal
demands or react to a specic
market, customer or competitive
development, VMware oers the
right vFabric sotware conguration,
at the right price.
The unique vFabric licensing andpricing model allows enterprises to
purchase application inrastructure
sotware based on virtual machines
rather than physical CPUsand to
pay only or the licenses in use. This
model eliminates the decades-old
need or organizations to purchase
excess sotware in anticipation o
peak loads, incurring signicant costs
and allowing sotware licenses to sit
dormant outside o peak periods.
The model closely aligns with cloud
computing deployments that directly
link the cost o sotware to use,consumption and the value delivered
to the organization.
Figure 4: The vFabric licensing and pricing model enables enterprises to purchase application
infrastructure software based on virtual machines and to pay only for the licenses in use.
vFabric Includes Unique Licensing and Pricing Model
With Java EE being a major
platorm on enterprise, a good
PaaS platorm like vFabric is
very exciting. This gives a lot
o choices or existing JavaEE-based applications to move to
the cloud.15

Todays applications are increasinglydeployed to pools o virtual
inrastructurenot physical
machinesmaking the legacy
approach o licensing application
inrastructure based on physical CPUs
decreasingly relevant. On virtualized
inrastructure, an application may be
running on a server with our CPUs
at 9 a.m., but when employees log
on during their lunch hour at noon,
the application will be automatically
moved to a server with 16 CPUs.
With vFabric virtual machine-based
licensing, enterprises simply license
the number o virtual machines to
run vFabric components, as needed.
Additionally, licensing is based
on average use, rather than peak,
which allows or predicted andunpredicted usage spikes without
requiring enterprises to license
based on the high-water mark o an
application workload. For example,
i an enterprise licenses 10 vFabric
virtual machines, it can burst to use
signicantly more virtual machines
than 10 as long as over a 12-month
period, the average usage is 10 or
ewer virtual machines.
Only VMware allows vFabric license
reuse across dierent types oserversto support application
inrastructure reconguration oten
resulting rom time-to-market
pressures that require releasing
applications early and oten.
vFabric Enables Deployment Flexibility and Speeds Time to Market
Figure 5: Only VMware allows vFabric license reuse across dierent types of servers in support
of enterprises that need to recongure their application infrastructure.
The VMware vFabric licensing
model is per VM (virtual
machine), and is based on
average VM usage during a
twelve month period rather thanthe high water-mark, allowing an
option or bursting during peak
periods.16
