Financial Services Company - Example
One SI proposed full Oracle Solutions Stack
Database + Coherence and Middleware Stack
Expensive, Unwieldy and Complex
Promise is that Services Hides Complexity
Second SI proposed vFabric Solution
Primarily GemFire
Much Simpler Stack
Tremendous Cost Advantage
Second SI wins paid POC for a hundreds of thousand leading to much larger production implementation.

Notable Quote
“In the newspaper environment, we constantly need to find new and innovative ways to monetize our content,” Perkinson continues.
“Ideas for new features are coming through all the time, and for us to be able to turn those features around and get them to market quickly is absolutely key. But with Oracle WebLogic, developers were constantly task switching while waiting for Oracle WebLogic to deploy and start up our applications after each test and staging release.”

NPC International, based in Overland Park, Kansas, is the largest Pizza Hut franchisee in the world and is owned by Merrill-Lynch Global Private Equity Group. NPC International connects to its 1,200 restaurants across the US via a web application deployed through the local POS system, providing a variety of essential corporate functionality such as payroll, vacation requests, compliance management, invoice approval and online employee training. The web-based system must be kept running at top performance to handle 170,000 page views per day by NPC International users.
Benefits:
Enhanced Application Performance
High Availability
Increased Developer Productivity
Greater Scalability and Improved User Experience
Virtual Cloud Infrastructure
Reduced Server Costs by 75%
Virtual Cloud Infrastructure
tcServer has enabled NPC International to implement an internal, private cloud of VMware-based virtual server resources, to maximize efficient usage of existing infrastructure. Because tc Server’s footprint is small, 12 tc Server instances are running on a single physical box, with additional capacity available to install more tc Server instances when needed. Consequently, tc Server enables NPC International to maximize internal server resources by eliminating the multiple machines necessary to run numerous application servers.
“I could not have deployed the applications within VMware-based virtual machines without tc Server,” Brisbin says. “I need a small, lightweight server that starts in a few seconds. I need to run several instances so I can make use of all the CPU resources.”
