CA Technologies Agile Cloud: Top-down application-led

Although the 2011 cloud computing Full bloom, application to the ground, but can not be ignored the phenomenon is: cloud computing's leading and driving forces are still in the government and large enterprises, because of security, privacy, build is still private cloud, but in the public cloud construction lacks the driving force. And the current cloud computing market development also faces many difficulties: the first is the difficulty of integration of heterogeneous environment; The second is the lack of truly deliverable cloud services; third, the cloud platform construction process becomes complex, enterprises buy a pile of machines, virtualization, the next 1, 2, 3, 4 do not know what to do; Users confuse virtualization with the concept of cloud computing.

Is there any effective means to solve these difficulties? CA Technologies introduced CA applogic products, may give us one more choice, its top-down, application-led characteristics, in the cloud computing field is also a blow into a breeze.

Not long ago, CNET journalist, under the organization and guidance of CA Technologies, tried to deploy a business system through the CA applogic platform within 20 minutes. For CA Technologies, the deployment of the business under the cloud platform should be so flexible, simple, intuitive, it is not facing the IT department, but the business unit, the application department, even the technology of the "rookie" should be able to do these jobs.

Before deploying the business, you first need to deploy the grid through CA applogic, and the job is to connect two or more PC servers into the network and deploy the grid through the CA applogic. Of course the reporter in the actual operation, the grid is to achieve the deployment of good. By logging in, the reporter can see a visual, very simple, intuitive editor, we can directly work on this editor. On the left side of the editor is the component library we want to select and the canvas on the right. I just need to light the mouse on the left side of the interface to drag the corresponding build onto the canvas, such as database, middleware, network server, etc., you can deploy a business system. These systems only need to connect through the mouse, so that the build is connected, then the allocation of resources. Each server needs to be divided into how much CPU, how much memory, how much bandwidth, can be selected through the intuitive interface, select the end of the save, a visual business system is deployed to complete. Reporter attention to calculate, the whole process takes only 20 minutes to complete.

CA AppLogic Editor Interface

CA Technologies China general manager Suen said: "Ca applogic is technically very mature, through such a cloud platform, business deployment is so simple." CA AppLogic is not only a low-level grid platform, but also a platform for rapid delivery of application tools. If the user is not a cloud application, and want to make SaaS application, the easiest way is to put it on the CA applogic, without modifying a line of code can become SaaS application. Also of concern is that CA AppLogic is a virtualized platform for infrastructure, not a server virtualization platform that manages infrastructure and applications as an object. CA Technologies This agile, fast, low-cost cloud is called an agile cloud. Agile clouds can be compatible with heterogeneous platforms, including virtual pools, physical servers, networks, storage, applications, and both internal and external clouds and grid clouds. And the biggest feature of this approach is the flexibility to drive the business. ”

He used an intuitive example to illustrate the CA Technologies's Agile cloud, unlike other vendors. For most manufacturers on the market, if a person wants to travel, has not thought whether to go to Hainan or to the northeast, the manufacturer will help this person to include the swimming trunks and the cotton coat all things in the box, of course, this box will be categorized, will be maximized use, The result is that the box will be able to install more things, that is, to allow users to buy more hardware devices, which is why many users complain that "cloud computing to make a big investment" reason. But the CA Technologies Agile Cloud to do is to help users decide whether to go to Hainan, or to the northeast, according to the different places, and then decided to be in the box is to install swimming trousers or cotton coats.

For users, is the need for a box of anything can be loaded, or want to know what to pack? The answer is self-evident.
