Today at VMworld 2010 Europe, CSC announced that it will use
VMware vFabric, the runtime services optimized for Spring applications,
as one of the platforms organizations will use to transform their
applications for cloud deployment.
Supporting its business first approach, CSC is enabling the deployment
of Spring applications to a dedicated VMware vFabric platform. By
offering this service for Spring applications, CSC is offering customers
an efficient and effective tool and processes for extracting value from
their cloud decision. Using Spring and VMware vFabric simplifies
transformation of complex applications, ensures application performance
and availability, and ensures the agility and return on investment
expected from moving to the CSC Trusted Cloud.
“The development community has chosen the Spring Framework for the
development of Java applications due to the core tenets of productivity
and application portability,” said Siki Giunta, vice president, Cloud
Computing and Hosting Services, CSC. “As organizations move business
processes to the cloud, they identify ideal workloads to transform, and
we are giving them a simple, secure and managed infrastructure upon
which to run those applications, on a platform that is optimized for
Spring applications.”
In order to assist organizations with the transformation of their
applications, CSC provides Cloud Application Assessments to support
customers in their application consolidation, transformation, and
migration to the CSC Trusted Cloud. This will be supported by a jointly
developed methodology and toolset that will quantify the benefits of
moving to the modern VMware vFabric platform at CSC.
“We are pleased to be working with CSC on this initiative,” said Rod
Johnson, senior vice president and general manager, Application Platform
Division, VMware. “Providing organizations with clear cloud destinations
for their Spring applications will allow them to leverage the benefits
of this modern approach to building and running Java applications,
whether on-premise or in the CSC Trusted Cloud data centers.”
