VMware Launches vFabric Suite 5.1

Posted By: Poketors - May 19, 2012
vFabric Suite 5.1 includes vFabric Application Director, to automate the deployment and management of vFabric applications on VMware cloud infrastructure and SQLFire Enterprise Edition, an in-memory distributed SQL database that will enable application data to meet cloud scale with the needed performances.

VMware Launches vFabric Suite 5.1

vFabric Suite leverages Spring development framework, inherited from SpringSource acquisition in 2009, vFabric application services and a per-VM licensing model to provide a comprehensive infrastructure oriented to the deployment of cloud-ready applications.

Part of this broader shift in application infrastructure was the move to cloud and application deployment on virtual infrastructure. Traditional application servers simply weren’t designed, optimized or licensed for this new world. These legacy systems are too cumbersome, too costly, and definitely not cloud-ready. We saw the need for a new breed of application infrastructure to support this new world of applications.

said Jerry Chen, vice president, Cloud and Application Services, VMware.

Here follows a quote of the original news:

The VMware vFabric Suite provides a complete set of runtime services to build, run and manage modern applications in distributed, cloud environments. The new capabilities in vFabric Suite 5.1 will allow customers to:

Automate application deployment for operational efficiency –To drive greater efficiency and better performance, vFabric Suite will include vFabric Application Director™ and vFabric Application Performance Manager. vFabric Application Director automates the deployment of applications through easy-to-use blueprints with standardized templates, component libraries and workflows. vFabric Application Performance Manager provides comprehensive monitoring of end-user transactions, Java code, middleware servers, and VMware vSphere hosts, enabling customers to proactively manage application performance, find and fix problems quickly, and meet SLAs.

Maximize data scalability – Many of today’s mobile and web-oriented applications must support highly variable access patterns, putting pressure on any database-only approach to data management. To support this evolution, in-memory databases have emerged as a standard component of the core technology stack developers use today. VMware vFabric SQLFireis an in-memory distributed SQL database built on the strength of vFabric GemFire®,which is used by many of the most demanding applications in the world. vFabric SQLFire delivers dynamic scalability and high performance for modern, data-intensive applications all accessible through a familiar SQL interface.
By pooling memory, CPU and network resources across a cluster of machines, vFabric SQLFire eliminates the main performance bottleneck in traditional databases – disk access. vFabric SQLFire can manage data across geographies, accelerating application performance, minimizing latency and increasing reliability. vFabric SQLFire Professional will be included in the vFabric Suite 5.1.

Reduce database total cost of ownership –To reduce database costs and increase agility vFabric Suite 5.1 will include vFabric Postgres, a VMware-optimized relational SQL database. vFabric Postgres is fully compatible with open source PostgreSQL, enabling customers to leverage existing standard PostgreSQL tools. vFabric Postgres comes in a virtual appliance and has virtualization optimizations such as elastic database memory to share database memory pools and smart configuration to reduce tuning time after resizing virtual machines.

Provide enterprise support for popular open source technologies – The VMware vFabric Suite 5.1 will include support for the open source runtime components most frequently used in production deployments of Spring applications, including Apache Tomcat, Apache HTTP Server and RabbitMQ® messaging. This greatly simplifies the adoption path of vFabric technologies for those organizations using these open source components today.

“From the increasing number of programming languages used to the heterogeneous nature of today’s hybrid infrastructures, application development is changing quickly,” said Stephen O’Grady, principal analyst with RedMonk. “Faced with such diversity, enterprises are increasingly turning to lightweight application containers to ease the pains of deployment.”

Best Virtualization Softwares For Your Current OS

Posted By: Poketors - December 11, 2011
There are a lot of virtualization software's available on web-sphere, which are really very much helpful in running multiple Operating Systems within your current Operating System simultaneously. Normally the available software's on the net through which you can accomplish such multiple tasks are known as Virtual Machine. A Virtual Machine is a software implementation of a computer that performs like a physical machine. There are two types of VMs - System machine and Process machine where first one is used to provide a complete system platform on which we can run different Operating System and the later one can be used to run a single program. There are a lot of such software's available over net. Here we have lsited some useful System Machines/Virtualization Software's.

Virtual Box


This is developed by Oracle and freely available as Open Source Software. It is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization tool and compatible with Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating system.

Microsoft Windows Virtual PC

This is developed by Microsoft and comes with lots of features like Windows XP mode for Windows 7, USB support, folder integration, cut and paste, printer friendly setup between host (your current Operating System) and guest (OS running in Virtual Machine). But this is only provided to the Windows user.

VMware Player

VMware Player is also one the most powerful virtualization tool available in the market. VMware Player supports Windows, Linux which lets you run multiple guest operating systems simultaneously in separate windows. Hence you have to register here in order to download and use this tool.
