7 steps to Enterprise PaaS
The document outlines seven best practices for enterprises considering a Platform as a Service (PaaS) adoption. Key areas include assessing current systems, modernizing applications and middleware, defining clear goals for developers and IT operations, and establishing a clear roadmap for migration and integration. It emphasizes the importance of application visibility, scaling strategies, and integrating new cloud applications with existing infrastructures.

Editor's Notes
- #16 As we think about it from an enterprise perspective, Cloud Foundry is an opportunity to boost application velocity through systemic productivity improvements across the entire dev and ops pipeline. Developers can focus on the app while IT delivers the platform as a service. PaaS speeds up prototyping, trial, testing, scale testing, production, updating, cloud-scaling apps.
- #25 Although Spring is famous for its openness and portability, we can take advantage of our deep understanding of Spring to add unique value for applications running on the vFabric platform. Spring Insight is a technology that provides code level tracing – tracking the time a transaction spends in each method and JDBC (database) call – transparently for Spring Applications. Basically, users get very deep information on the operation of a running Spring application just as a benefit for running in on vFabric. No code modifications or setup is required. Spring Insight has been available for developers for almost a year as part of the tc Server Developer Edition. This is a single-user, development-time solution that integrates helps developers find performance bottlenecks in their applications while running it on their local machines, typically inside our Eclipse-based IDE, SpringSource Tool Suite. Next year we will roll out Spring Insight Enterprise, which leverages the same code-level tracing technology but pulls together information from multiple application servers into a single console with roll-up views, drill downs, and historical comparisons. This solution has been designed to minimize the overhead of the monitoring so it is suitable for both test and production environments. While the Spring Insight Enterprise console is useful for both administrators and developers who may need to troubleshoot problems in production, it is also important that administrators and operations have a single place to go for vFabric monitoring. Therefore, Spring Insight Enterprise monitoring will be available not only as a stand-alone console but also through a plug-in to the Hyperic monitoring solution, enabling a single view across data from multiple sources and integrated alerting and control actions.
- #26 Over the past year, we have invested a lot of effort in providing automatic visibility into Spring applications so that our customers can answer important questions about the behavior of their applications.In this particular example, we have a Hotel Booking application. By using the Spring Insight technology baked into our application platform, our customers can interact with a chart that illustrates how their application is performing and whether or not the response times are within the expected SLAs.If there is an issue, they are able to drill into the application further. Let’s say that certain response times for finding and displaying available hotel rooms look out of band…well, you can selectively drill into that request and see if the database is the bottleneck, for example. This level of visibility helps developers create high performing applications, but as we will cover in a moment, this information combined with visibility across the application infrastructure stack is also critical for delivering the proactive performance management required of today’s modern platforms.
