Today's business applications are becoming increasingly web-oriented, data-intensive, and dynamic in nature and are more likely to be deployed to run on virtual environments. The infrastructure to support those applications is evolving as well. VMware vFabric™ is the next generation application platform designed to run business critical and Web applications in virtual and cloud environments.
Leverage the VMware vFabric Cloud Application Platform to:
- Build new or modernize existing applications with an application platform ideally suited for virtual infrastructures and used by more than 2 million Java users today
- Harness the data explosion to competitive advantage and eliminate database bottlenecks to create truly cloud-scale applications
- Accelerate time to market and reduce costs through alignment with your virtual infrastructure
Solve Your Company’s Toughest Data Challenges
New application types and topologies along with exponential data growth are putting a strain on the RDBMS database-only approach to data management. The move to cloud-era applications and virtualized infrastructure are introducing the need for:
- Ultra-low latency / scalability of the data tier to deliver on customer expectations
- Real-time analytics of very large amounts of data for decision making
- Non-relational data types to enable developer flexibility and agility
- Self-service deployment and operations of databases to reduce database sprawl and accelerate application development cycles
VMware offers two products to address these needs:
VMware vFabric GemFire and vFabric SQLFire - memory-optimized, distributed data management systems that deliver dynamic scalability and very high performance for data-intensive modern applications. vFabric GemFire is an object store which you write to in Java or C#, while SQLFire provides a standard SQL interface.
VMware vFabric Data Director - leverage vSphere to automate database deployment and operations. vFabric Data Director enables database-as-a-service in your cloud to drastically reduce TCO, database sprawl, and accelerate application development cycles. The first database supported on Data Director is VMware vFabric Postgres 9.0 (vPostgres), a new offering from VMware based on and fully compatible with PostgreSQL.
