VMware introduces vFabric

href="http://dqchannels.ciol.com/content/reselleralert/110081206.asp">VMware
introduced its
cloud application platform 'vFabric' strategy and solutions,
enabling developers to build and run modern applications that
intelligently share information with underlying infrastructure to
maximize application performance, quality of service and
infrastructure utilization. vFabric cloud application platform
combines the market-leading 'Spring Java' development framework
with platform services including lightweight application server,
global data management, cloud-ready messaging, dynamic load balancing
and application performance management.

Principles that have
defined today's most demanding consumer applications — built-in
scalability, new data models and distributed infrastructures, are
heavily influencing the production of new internal customer
enterprise applications. As such, these modern applications need to
support dynamic user interactions, low-latency data access and
virtual infrastructure all while meeting the security and compliance
demands of the enterprise. vFabric is uniquely optimized for cloud
computing's increasingly dynamic architectures, unlike traditional
middleware that requires complete stack control.

“With the rise of
virtualization and modern development frameworks, a fundamentally
more productive and portable approach to delivering new applications
has emerged,” said Rod Johnson, SVP -Application Platform
Division, VMware. He further added, “We are moving into an era
where developers can build great applications and immediately deploy
those applications onto a modern platform that provisions and
configures itself on demand and intelligently runs and scales the
application based on policy.”

An open solution, VMware
vFabric will initially target the 2.5 million users that develop
'Spring Java' applications. VMware vFabric will deliver the
following key benefits:

Maximize speed and
innovation: Customers can bring modern applications to market faster
and with less complexity; new applications can be delivered in days
or weeks rather than months or years, and at scale.

Extend the benefits of
virtualization to the application: VMware vFabric can coordinate with
underlying infrastructure to help ensure optimal application
performance, quality of service and infrastructure resource
utilization.

An evolutionary path to
the cloud: Developers will be able to build new applications in a
familiar and productive way while enabling the choice of where to run
them, whether on premise or in public clouds such as VMforce or
Google.
