When the software industry has changed significantly: users are accustomed to network applications, the software online rental model began to become popular, the middleware field set off another wave of innovation, technology innovation intensive appearance. In the process of transforming software to service, middleware is the base of supporting service.
As a 10 research and development history, the products are widely used in government, finance, transportation, energy, telecommunications and other industries of middleware and product providers, China software Business Middleware Co., Ltd. (referred to as the middle of the creation of middleware) not only grasp the technology trend, but also adapt to change, from the excavation of new business
Different inforsuite
This April, the middle-class middleware launched a new generation of enterprise middleware products--inforsuite Application server. Say it's not the same not only is it compared to the previous generation of products have a great technological progress, for the enterprise information overall framework to provide a complete infrastructure and mobile SOA facilities, compared to similar products in the industry, Inforsuite also distinctive features, it is a medium-invasive middleware in the years of industry application experience and product development experience based on , the application of cloud computing platform in the middleware field is considered as the first cloud service middleware that can provide cloud computing capability in the industry.
The combination of cloud computing and middleware is by no means fashionable, in this way, can improve the quality of middleware services; Further, it may even change the business model for a long time, thus giving the middleware enterprise a return, The most typical is the operation of PAAs (Platform-as-a-service, platform services) business, the development platform environment as a service delivery. The middleware service is built on the cloud platform, the middleware can be delivered as the service of the cloud platform, and the middleware service is provided to the users on demand.
The introduction of cloud computing technology, but also the business development of middle-class middleware decision, at this time of the middleware is not the traditional sense of middleware vendors, it is also a strong brand and technical strength of the PAAs provider. Cloud computing is certainly the best technology implementation path if you want to improve product availability, mitigate operational and maintenance costs, and cope with surging user traffic.
Defining Cloud Applications
From the point of view of development and application operation, the original user actually built the development environment is relatively cumbersome, error rate is also high, through the PAAs way to provide development environment can greatly reduce the user to build the environment of the workload, the market prospects are very optimistic. However, users need a wide range of platform environments that are also a huge challenge for PAAs operator Management-How to deliver a secure and reliable environment efficiently and flexibly? Middle-chuang Middleware thought of "template" technology.
In short, it is through the inforsuite in advance to book a variety of templates, corresponding to a software environment, so that users submit to the environment after the submission, it becomes a simple scheduled template configuration, the mirror template Library quickly provide a new environment, no longer need to consider operating system, middleware, Installation and configuration issues for a range of environments, such as applications. Obviously, this allows a fully configured software environment to replicate on demand.
From this point of view, create a template to develop a set of business System Management Center, according to the Business System deployment framework to organize, such as the user needs CRM (Customer relationship Management), the required Web server, database server and other software environment will be linked up as a CRM template, which is the concept of cloud application , from the business point of view of any one business application services of the overall packaging, one-time build completed. To the user, the face will be a cloud application, rather than a dispersed constituent individual.
To achieve this concept, behind the need for strong technical support-cloud computing, to provide users with PAAs services, the middle-tier middleware to deal with business load fluctuations, provide high security and high reliability, and flexible and efficient to promote the environment, you must rely on cloud computing. On this basis, to implement the cloud application encapsulation, it should also be a fine-grained resource allocation and management, that is, consider personalized examples of exclusive.
Build PAAs Cloud Platform
In order to achieve the technical objectives, the middle-tier middleware is working with Intel software cooperation to build an enterprise cloud platform based on the IA hardware architecture. After joint technical research, both sides finally successfully built a new cloud computing solution--CVICSE Inforsuite Cloud, using cloud computing unified integration middleware and the underlying resource management, to provide a unique PAAs cloud platform for enterprise integration within the different applications.
At this time, the middleware can provide the traditional cloud computing capabilities, as well as the cloud based middleware services. Partners such as ISVs can also use this platform to reduce their own development costs and gain new business opportunities by rapidly deploying SaaS applications.
The CVICSE Inforsuite Cloud consists of four tiers: the lowest level is an extensible physical computing pool, an extensible Inforsuite Virtual service layer that provides SaaS services externally. Then there is the cloud computing services layer, which provides a solid, high-reliability cloud computing Service, the Inforsuite Cloud Management console. Intel not only provides the hardware platform virtualization and performance optimization support, but also by virtue of long-term experience in the development of virtualization technology, for the middle-class middleware provides the enterprise Cloud Reference Architecture, code samples and demonstration demo, especially in the overall resource scheduling with the middle-class middleware has a close cooperation, It realizes the management of cloud Platform resources and deliverable service, realizes the key link of inforsuite cloud computing.
Inforsuite Cloud Services Middleware platform focuses on the virtualization of IT hardware facilities, builds virtualized middleware services, and provides high availability, flexible computing, management, SLAs, and intelligent policy scheduling services on top of middleware services. Business applications can not only use the virtual middleware services to provide rapid development, operational support capabilities, but also using middleware cloud services to achieve higher availability, reliability and disaster tolerance and other characteristics. It is understood that the middle-creation middleware has begun to operate PAAs business in more than 200 partners, and is expected to be the first to be popularized in transportation, finance and other industries.
