Developer Frameworks
VMware Approach to Application Infrastructure
Embrace and broaden frameworks
Frameworks provide portability across the “bridge” between public and private clouds
Provide a cloud application delivery model with PaaS
PaaS can be run both private and public clouds
Provide data services required for the cloud era
Addressing both data problems of existing apps and new apps
Key Philosophies
Open

Developer Frameworks
Why Frameworks?
• Speed
• Portability
• Lightweight, cloud-appropriate apps

Meet Today’s Operational Challenges and Expectations
Control database sprawl
• How do I manage and enforce compliance on the growing number of databases efficiently?
Enable operational agility
• How do I better support my development teams’ need for quick database access?
Get more out of virtual infrastructure
• How do I extend the cost/agility benefits of my virtual infrastructure to the database?
14
Announcing vFabric Data Director
• Power Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) across private and public clouds
• Combines the agility of public cloud database services with enterprise-grade security,
flexibility, control and compliance.
• Built on vSphere Platform, extend virtualization benefits to database
layer
• Single pane to monitor and manage 1000’s of databases
• Automate common database operations to reduce cycle time and errors
• Empower application developer to self-service through intuitive GUI
• Unified database virtualization platform for traditional and new
databases
• First database enabled is PostgreSQL database with vSphere-optimization
15
Meet Data Challenges for the Cloud Era
Elastic scalability/Low-latency
• How do I architect my data tier for highly variable application usage? My app has 10,000 users on a normal day but 10,000,000 on Mother’s Day.
Multi-Site / Multi-Cloud
• How do I distribute data efficiently to my compute clouds? I have applications and users in multiple places that need access to the same data in real-time.
Distributed Processing
• How do I process these large quantities of data in an efficient manner to allow for better real-time decision-making?
• I need to build a very high scale application with transactional consistency
