14 vFabric Suite
14 Overview of vFabric Suite 5.1
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.
vFabric Application Director 1.0
VMware® vFabric™ Application Director is a cloud-enabled application provisioning solution that accelerates and automates
the configuration and deployment of multi-tier applications. vFabric Application Director is optimized for vFabric components,
but is extensible to other components that may be part of your Spring application. Starting with an intuitive drag-and-drop
workspace, application architects can easily create and save complete deployment blueprints that can be deployed onto any cloud.
These visual deployment topologies give you fine-grained control over installation dependencies and configuration changes, as
well as editable scripts.
Main features of vFabric Application Director 1.0:
• True separation between applications and infrastructure, enabling the same blueprint to be reused on multiple virtual and cloud
infrastructures.
• Familiar point-and-click user interface that lets you customize scripts, override configurations directly on the application
blueprint, and execute deployments with the click of a button.
• Direct integration to cloud provider catalog for selecting virtual machine templates as the foundational components to build
and deploy applications.
• A customizable catalog, populated with standard application components and scripts, that organizes application building
blocks for easy reuse. A language-agnostic approach makes it easy to add any type of application infrastructure component to
the catalog, and to deploy and update it.
• Version control for application blueprints that help standardize applications and allow organizations to reuse deployment plans
on multiple clouds.
• Organized workflow and dependencies for creating highly orchestrated deployment execution plans that adapt to any cloud,
application requirement, and IT compliance policy.
• Stored scripts to install, configure, start, and stop applications and application infrastructure components.
• Automatic publishing of deployment changes to vFabric Application Performance Manager, facilitating a real-time
performance perspective on the overall health and availability of business-critical applications.
vFabric Postgres 9.1 (Standard Edition)
VMware® vFabric™ Postgres Standard Edition (vPostgres) integrates VMware virtualization technology and is compatible with
Postgres SQL (psql) and the PostgreSQL tools and client drivers. It is ACID- and ANSI-SQL-compliant. You can create, run,
