vFabric is a suite of middleware products that are optimized for virtual and cloud environments. It includes application servers, databases, caching, and monitoring tools. vFabric uses a cloud-oriented pricing model of per-VM licensing that allows for flexibility in deployments. It also provides cloud-optimized functionality like lightweight application servers and elastic memory management that improve server consolidation. Service providers can offer hosted vFabric as a service and help customers modernize their applications. ISVs can also use vFabric components to improve their applications and reduce costs and time to market.

Editor's Notes
- To address this challenge, VMware is focused on three core solution areas in IT:How best to evolve the infrastructure to support this new world,Changes in application development to speed time-to-market for business-critical applications, that take advantage of this new world,And a new way of approaching end-user computing, to increase user satisfaction.<click>Let’s begin by exploring the evolution of infrastructure.
- Application Platforms create opportunities when there are computing model shifts: emergence of PC, emergence of Client-Server, emergence of the Web. This is a similar opportunity to disrupt the existing market.
- Point to emphasize: in the past, middleware has run on physical servers. Today, it’s increasingly shifted to running on VMs. And that brings about a compelling opportunity for VMware and its partners.
- What kind of benefits can be had from such a platform?This is an example from one of our large Financial Services customers with very large Java deployments. They are comparing their existing WebSphere-based infrastructure with our modern, lightweight alternative.Operational savings for such things as server provisioning and application installs can be driven down from hours/days to seconds/minutes.The complexity of application infrastructure can be dramatically reduced as well. With Gigabyte footprints reduced to Megabytes and corresponding installation and configuration scripts reduced by orders of magnitude.
- EM4J lets a vFabric tc Server instance under memory pressure, due a high workload, borrow java heap memory from other tc Server instances running on the same vSphere host. Then release that memory as their workload subsides.EM4J provides dynamically and automatically adjusted at runtime as the Java heap memory requires of app servers grow and shrink with changing workloads.Only VMware can provide this, because only VMware has engineering expertise around both a mainstream hypervisor, and a mainstream application server. That hypervisor is, of course, vSphere. The application sever is tc Server, based on open source Apache Tomcat, the world’s most popular Java application server, used for running production applications in over 60% of large businesses and organizations worldwide.
- You improve your consolidation.You avoid time consuming restarts.You save time, save money, save rackspace, and save energy.

- The analogies:Hyperic is not a cost center for MSPs, it’s a revenue center for them. Think of the first class seats in an airplane. Sure, they’re more expensive than the economy seats. But the airline can sell spaces in those seats for much more than economy seats. So much so that those “expensive” first class seats are actually big drivers of profit.Additionally, Hyperic lets MSPs measure the health of their infrastructure (like a stethoscope for your servers), and enables them to better meet their SLAs and avoid penalties and reduce customer churn. Like an annual physical, Hyperic is good insurance for an MSP business.
- The cold reality is that a typical datacenter will have a wide range of technologies, making effective app management extremely difficult.Can you manage everything in your datacenter? Will you be able to manage technologies that will be acquired in the next 12 months? Are you sure your monitoring is future-proof?Hyperic can monitor all this and more. Plus its community is constantly building support for new servers, based on Hyperic’s easily extensible plug-in development kit.More information:http://www.hyperic.com/products/supported-technologiesTo view the metrics that Hyperic supports:Log into HypericAdministration tabClick “Monitoring Defaults”Select the technology of interestClick “Edit Metric Template”
