VMware’s Three Strategic Focus Areas

Flexible, Scalable, Efficient Infrastructure

Faster Time-to-Market for Modern Applications

Empowered, Secure Mobile Workforce

Today every business is a software business

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.”

vfabric.co/infoworld

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

vfabric.co/forrester

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.
