- Creating an Elastic Application Fabric
How does “Intelligent Application Mobility” allow applications to become elastic and self-optimizing? How does that compare to Stateless Processing, Static Provisioning and Instance on Demand?
Cloud computing offers many benefits, including cost savings and significant gains in time-to-market. However these benefits are difficult to achieve for business critical, large-scale, transactional applications – especially when the applications run across multiple geographies.
Intelligent Application Mobility enables transactional applications to scale and move across multiple machines, geographies and clouds allowing you to exploit the agility, elasticity and cost benefits of cloud computing.
Recent research has identified that Elastic Application Platforms (software infrastructure providing data caching and code execution services) are a tool that will be needed to develop applications and services that are at home in the cloud.
This whitepaper looks at how Monterey combines with distributed caching to create an Elastic Application Fabric that scales at both the data and processing layer. An Elastic Application Fabric benefits from Intelligent Application Mobility, allowing the Fabric to span across one or more machines, geographies or clouds.
