Automated Provisioning for Applications in the Cloud
Accelerate and automate the configuration and deployment of multi-tier applications. VMware vFabric™ Application Director is a cloud-enabled application provisioning and maintenance solution that simplifies how to create and standardize application deployment topologies across cloud services. Application Director supports any application – even though it is optimized for vFabric based applications – and it allows deployment onto any cloud.
Starting with an intuitive drag-and-drop canvas, application architects can quickly create complete deployment blueprints—visual deployment topologies—that can be saved and later deployed onto any cloud with fine-grained control over installation dependencies, configuration changes and editable scripts. When combined with VMware vFabric Application Performance Manager, achieve Active Application Management for all applications deployed in virtualized and cloud environments.
