PRODUCT BRIEF: CA TECHNOLOGIES | 3TERA APPLOGIC

Cloud Computing

CA Technologies | 3Tera AppLogic is the first turnkey commercial Cloud computing product, designed from the ground up to provide a complete infrastructure solution. With AppLogic, applications become completely separated from the hardware infrastructure traditionally needed to run them, allowing users to deploy, operate and manage their applications remotely through a Web browser and provision resources as needed.

Overview
Todays IT environments need infrastructure flexibility, scalability, continuous data availability, optimized resources, top performance, integrated monitoring, reduced costs and less downtime. AppLogic provides a complete infrastructure solution to meet those needs. The system includes a cloud operating system, integral IP SAN, intuitive user interface, plus a catalog of the most common infrastructure components and readymade software stacks.

Benefits
AppLogic gets applications and offerings up and running fast, whether you use it as a service, install it in your own virtual private data center, or offer it as a service to others. AppLogic runs existing applications with no code modifications. To ensure compatibility, the system supports the most popular data center server operating systems. To provide flexibility, AppLogic replaces complex hardware and software deployments with visual integration.

The CA Advantage
AppLogic helps trim time and manpower when developing and testing applications. With infrastructure on-demand, there's never a delay to provision hardware, rebuild images, or test configurations. By embedding the infrastructure definition, AppLogic turns your application into a selfcontained, portable entity without the hardware binding of traditional deployments or virtualization. When business needs change, resources can, too.

CA Technologies | 3Tera AppLogic Delivers a Complete Cloud Computing Solution

CA | 3Tera AppLogic represents the first complete solution to harness the eye-opening potential of technology in the Cloud. AppLogic enables you to get your applications up and running fast, whether you use it as a service, install it in your own data center, or offer it as a service to others. This cloud system offers a cloud operating system, SAN, visual editor, the most common infrastructure components and requested software stacks. With AppLogic, applications become completely separated from the hardware infrastructure traditionally needed to run them, allowing users to deploy, operate and manage their applications and services remotely through a Web browser, and provision resources as needed.

AN INTUITIVE CLOUD

The AppLogic GUI provides an intuitive visual way to define infrastructure, provision applications and servers, and monitor operations using only a browser

Software Compatibility AppLogic runs existing applications with no code modifications, from simple control panels to complex N-tier applications and Internet-scale Web 2.0 services. To ensure compatibility, the system supports the most popular data center server operating systems: Linux Suns Open Solaris and Solaris 10 Microsoft Windows

Thus your favorite middleware and billions of lines existing application code can be used unaltered in the Cloud. Total Infrastructure Solution To provide flexible infrastructure, AppLogic replaces complex hardware and software deployments with visual integration. You still use the same code, middleware and operating system, but you assemble your infrastructure visually using only a browser. AppLogic then embeds the infrastructure definition into your application and creates it only when the application runs. A single command can then copy, configure, start, stop, export, backup an entire n-tier application or even migrate it to a different data center.

Infrastructure Services
Universal High-Availability AppLogic provides high-availability to applications of any size. Mirrored storage on the integral IP SAN ensures continuous data availability. If a hardware failure occurs, the affected application components are automatically restarted on a new set of resources to restore application availability.

Efficient Resource Usage CPU, memory and bandwidth for applications are determined at runtime. Allocated resources for each component can be as small as 1% of a CPU and 16MB of memory, or as large as 16 CPUs and 64GB. This allows efficient maintenance of resource usage and application performance. Applications can span up to 128 servers. Integrated Monitoring AppLogic provides integrated monitoring of applications with a point-and-click editor. You can create custom dashboards with dozens of counters from any appliance and set alarm thresholds to make monitoring a breeze. Speed Time-to-Market AppLogic saves time and manpower when developing and testing your applications. With infrastructure available literally on-demand, there's never a delay to provision hardware, rebuild images, or test configurations. Embedding the infrastructure definition in your application also allows testing to be performed with the exact production configuration rather than test rigs. Each engineer can also run their own copy of the application in their "sandbox" for functional test, or use a larger cloud array to test your code under real-world load. On-demand Scaling By embedding the infrastructure definition in your application, AppLogic turns the application into a self-contained, portable entity with absolutely none of the hardware binding associated with traditional deployments or virtualization. This allows AppLogic to make resource allocation decisions at runtime. With no pre-defined resource bindings, applications become scalable. If business needs change, resources can be added or subtracted at will. The process can even be automated with our SLA dynamic appliance. Business Continuity Online services are now mission critical and downtime affects the bottom line. Still, because of the cost and complexity, few companies have effective business continuity plans in place. AppLogic eases business continuity by packaging complete applications so you can copy and migrate applications between data centers. This makes providing business continuity easy. To further ease the process, our disaster recovery appliances also manage data replication. Thus, every company can now have effective business continuity.
