[. . . ] VMware vFabric tc ServerTM The Best Place to Build and Run Spring Applications O P T I M I Z E D FO R SPRING VMware Overview VMware vFabric tc Server is the runtime server at the heart of the VMware vFabric Cloud Application Platform. Available in Spring Edition, Standard Edition and Developer Edition, tc Server is the best place build and run your Spring applications and with its lightweight footprint it is ideally suited for virtual and cloud environments. [. . . ] It is suited for organizations currently using Spring with legacy Java EE servers and that are considering migrating off expensive and heavyweight application servers, and also for current Tomcat users who need additional operational management and diagnostics capabilities together with enterprise support. With Spring Insight, free with VMware vFabricTM tc Server Developer Edition, developers gain deep performance insight into Spring applications during the development process. And with vFabric tc Server Spring Edition you can extend that same visibility for your application operators in a production environment. I D E A L FO R V I RT UAL With a memory footprint of 10MB, vFabric tc Server is ideally suited for modern virtual and cloud environments. CO M M E R C I A L TO MCAT SpringSource is the leader in Apache Tomcat support, with more than 400 of the world's largest organizations relying on our Tomcat experts for support. And more than 80 percent of Tomcat code commits in the last two years were made by SpringSource employees. P R O D U C T D ATA S H E E T / 1 VMware vFabric tc Server Key Highlights tc Server is designed to support the entire application lifecycle with a lightweight platform that is ideally suited for building and running modern applications. Developer Efficiency Optimized for running Spring applications, the world's most widely used Java development framework, tc Server includes core capabilities designed to enhance the efficiency of Spring developers: · Using the Spring Insight console (included with Developer Edition) developers can obtain a dashboard view of real-time Spring application performance metrics. Without changing their code, developers can use Spring Insight to detect, analyze and diagnose application performance issues right from their desktops. · Developers will be immediately familiar with vFabric tc Server since it is based on the popular Tomcat Server that is in use at 70 percent of organizations today. · Application thread lock detection provides warnings when threads compete for restricted resources in a way that would compromise application integrity · Configurable automatic and on-demand thread and heap dumping for failure and exception analysis · Thread to URL association for faster diagnosis when analyzing problems with request processing Deployment Flexibility Deploy your applications to physical or virtual hosts · Lightweight server (10MB) ideal for virtual environments · Template-driven server instance creation to simplify and accelerate deployment · Integrated experience with VMware environments Selected Customers Operations Management tc Server provides operations management and monitoring of servers and applications for a single instance or across many nodes, from a single console. Capabilities include: Application management · Native Spring instrumentation to enable fine grain application monitoring in production · List all applications running in a distributed collection of server instances · Target, deploy and un-deploy applications to distributed server instances · Control application parameters like caching and JSP behavior Server management · Remote configuration control for server instances · Define virtual hosts, access logs and web server integration · Configure JVM parameters, such as Java heap size and garbage collection · Dynamic control and resizing of thread pools without server restart · Define server groups "Test and live deployments are taking the developers literally a couple of minutes with vFabric tc Server ­ where they used to take up to two hours on Oracle WebLogic. The throughput on vFabric tc Server is at least 3X greater than WebLogic and the CPU and load on the production servers is about half" -- Shaun Perkinson, Associated Newspapers Advanced Server Diagnostics tc Server provides advanced diagnostics, such as thread lock detection and automatic and on-demand failure logging to enable swift isolation, diagnosis and repair of issues. Features include: "Without vFabric tc Server, I could not have deployed my web-based applications into the private cloud environment I created. vFabric tc Server's small footprint allows me to deploy a dozen app server instances on one physical box virtualized by VMware, with plenty of capacity left over" -- John Brisbin, NPC International VMware, Inc. 3401 Hillview Avenue Palo Alto CA 94304 USA Tel 877-486-9273 Fax 650-427-5001 www. vmware. com Copyright © 2010 VMware, Inc.
