Whats Happening with Applications Today?

Written with frameworks

Developer productivity and innovation

New Application Types

Mobile, SaaS, social Apps released early and often

Data intensive
Emerging requirements: elasticity, multi-cloud Web orientation drives exponential data volumes

Deployed on virtual and cloud infrastructure

vSphere

Confidential

New Era Requires a Shift: Elasticity from Apps to Data

Develop using modern frameworks: agile apps decoupled from middleware Leverage runtime container optimized for vSphere: provision in seconds Store app state in elastic data cache: maximize app scalability Use cloud-friendly messaging protocols: enable flexible app integration Access app data through elastic data fabric and/or in-memory SQL: maximize data scalability

Application Management Challenges in the World of Cloud

How do I reduce my operational expenses ? How can I increase agility and predictability?

How do reduce my business workload provisioning time?

How do I keep up with a pace of managing constant application meeting LOBs SLAs?

How do I leverage existing infrastructure and self service to scale for future growth?

How do I manage growing business risk introduced by a hybrid cloud approach?

Manage applications holistically and separately from

Todays application teams needs to be able to:

the supporting infrastructure.

Help manage applications that move across, and run

across, public and private clouds

Horizontally integrates management across
