New VMware vFabric™ includes modern application framework and integrated platform services to deliver speed, portability, and optimized use of cloud infrastructure <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., August 31, 2010 <\/span><\/strong>— Today at VMworld 2010, VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, introduced its cloud application platform strategy and solutions, enabling developers to build and run modern applications that intelligently share information with underlying infrastructure to maximize application performance, quality of service and infrastructure utilization. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

VMware vFabric™ cloud application platform combines the market-leading Spring Java development framework with platform services including lightweight application server, global data management, cloud-ready messaging, dynamic load balancing and application performance management. Applications built on VMware vFabric provide performance and portability across heterogeneous cloud environments. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Principles that have defined today’s most demanding consumer applications – built-in scalability, new data models, distributed infrastructures – are heavily influencing the production of new internal customer enterprise applications. As such, these modern applications need to support dynamic user interactions, low-latency data access and virtual infrastructure all while meeting the security and compliance demands of the enterprise. VMware vFabric is uniquely optimized for cloud computing’s increasingly dynamic architectures, unlike traditional middleware that requires complete stack control. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span><\/strong>With the rise of virtualization and modern development frameworks, a fundamentally more productive and portable approach to delivering new applications has emerged,” said Rod Johnson, SVP of the application platform division of VMware. “We’re moving into an era where developers can build great applications and immediately deploy those applications onto a modern platform that provisions and configures itself on demand and intelligently runs and scales the application based on policy.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“IT is undergoing a transformation: Applications are changing, infrastructure is changing, and organizations are looking for a pathway to harness the promise of the cloud,” said Rachel Chalmers, director, Infrastructure, The 451 Group. “Application platforms of today have markedly different requirements than those we have relied upon in the past. VMware vFabric™ is evolving to meet the needs of today’s organizations.” <\/span><\/p>\n

VMware vFabric Delivers Developer Productivity and Operational Agility for Cloud-generation Applications <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications are increasingly built with modern development frameworks that leverage runtime and data management services that are much more agile and designed for virtualization. An open solution, VMware vFabric will initially target the 2.5 million users that develop Spring Java applications. VMware vFabric will deliver the following key benefits: <\/span><\/p>\n
