Overview of vFabric Suite 5.1 13

• Supports all modern messaging patterns: point-to-point (RPC style), point-and-shoot, publish-subscribe, multicast, and more.
All are available as durable or non-durable message types.
• Protocol-based for better interoperability. Other messaging systems are API based, which limits their interoperability.
• Through protocol adapters, supports a full range of Internet protocols for lightweight in-browser messaging— including
XMPP, SMTP, STOMP, and HTTP.
• Transparent integration with Spring Batch and Spring Integration.
• Supported on all major operating systems and developer platforms, and open-sourced under the Mozilla public license.
vFabric Web Server 5.1
VMware® vFabric™ Web Server, which is compatible with Apache Web Server, distributes and dynamically balances
application load to ensure optimal performance. Unlike Apache Web Server, vFabric Web Server is precompiled, prepatched, and
pretuned, resulting in dramatically reduced time-to-deployment and substantially improved performance. vFabric Web Server
provides scalability, enhanced security, and performance without the complexity and cost of sophisticated Web infrastructures.
Support customers receive a standard, certified, easy-to-install software build, continual product updates, security alerts and
patches, guaranteed bug fixes, indemnification on all software in the bundle, and expert technical support.
vFabric Web Server is similar to vFabric ERS. However, vFabric Web Server runs only in a virtual environment,
on vSphere and vSphere guest operating systems. It is available exclusively as part of a vFabric Suite package.
ERS runs on both vSphere and physical infrastructure.
Main features of vFabric Web Server 5.1:
• Sample template that automatically configures vFabric Web Server for a tc Server 2.6 instance.
• Precompiled builds that deliver up to 100% performance improvements, increasing uptime and reducing costs for hardware
capacity.
• Guaranteed binary drop-in bug and security-fix help for every supported platform, to reduce the time you spend on security
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.
