issues.
• Fast installation process that gets you up and running in minutes: consistent installation and directory structure across all
operating systems, seamless integration with existing infrastructures, and no preset installation requirements.
• Easy installation of multiple instances of on a single server.
• Scalable management of multiple Web sites and servers.
• In addition to Apache httpd and its core modules, support for mod_ftp, mod_fcgid, openssi, openldap, mod_ik, mod_bmx,
libexpat, libapr, zlib.
vFabric SQLFire 1.0
VMware® vFabric™ SQLFire is a memory-optimized, distributed database management system designed for applications with
highly demanding scalability and availability requirements. Applications can manage database tables entirely in memory, or they
can overflow table data from memory to disk.
A flexible architecture enables SQLFire to pool memory and disk resources from hundreds of clustered members. This clustered
approach provides extremely high throughput, predictable latency, dynamic and linear scalability, and continuous availability
of data. SQLFire's memory-speed write performance is well-suited for large-scale databases with high transaction volumes and
demanding Service Level Agreements. For systems that require deployment of a relational database across a cluster of machines,
such as a grid or cloud, SQLFabric's distributed, shared-nothing architecture can simplify the deployment while providing linear
scalability.
Because it leverages the SQL interface and tools, Java, and other widely implemented technologies, SQLFire is easily adaptable
to existing database applications. Moreover, a SQLFire distributed system can be scaled out using commodity hardware.
Main features of vFabric SQLFire 1.0:
• Enables applications to manage data entirely in memory through partitioning and synchronous replication that distributes data
across numerous SQLFire members.
• Optimized disk persistence mechanism with a non-flushing algorithm to maintain high performance in applications that require
stable, long-term storage.
• Memory-based data management that maintains consistently high application performance by eliminating lookup, read/write,
and network round-trip latencies.
• Elastically scaled so that SQLFire servers can dynamically go online and offline to serve a growing or shrinking demand
pattern.
• Collocation of application logic with data and execution of application logic in parallel substantially increases application
throughput. SQLFire also transparently re-executes application logic if a server fails.
• Supports global WAN connectivity with the option of replicating data to remote clusters for disaster recovery.
• Based on SQL, JDBC and ADO.net standards. Supports Hibernate, SQuirreL SQL Client, CDC, Spring JDBC, and more.
Simplified VM-Based Licensing Model
vFabric Platform packages are licensed on a per-VM and average-usage basis, exclusively for virtual and cloud environments.
Each licensed VM can run any or all vFabric software components.
