Agenda AppZero at a glance On boarding existing apps Market context Migration options New in AppZero 5.3 Feature focus: Up-level application migration Demo Summary and Q&A
AppZero at a Glance AppZero is the fastest and most flexible way to move applications from the data center to the cloud Named to 10 Cloud Startups to Watch by (CIO.com) in March 2013 Partners/Customers:
Enterprise Application Migration AppZero does for apps what VMs do for machines Source Machine Discover Copy & Run Target Machine Extract VAA Dissolve & install AppZero extracts existing enterprise applications and packages them into VAAs that can be provisioned and run natively on any OS, machine or cloud, fast. (including managed clouds)
AppZero Supports Key IT Initiatives Data Center Consolidation / Relocation Public cloud onboarding / migration M&A integration, ITSO, power & cost optimization Data Center Transformation Infrastructure normalization & upgrade Private cloud / converged infra migration Workload Consolidation LOB cost consolidation, reorganization
Application portability across physical and virtual AppZero lets you move apps between physical and virtual environments without lock in faster
Application portability across data centers and clouds AppZero lets you move apps from any datacenter to any cloud faster
Application portability and up level OS version AppZero lets you move apps to newer versions of the operating system Eliminate OS-upgrade and transformation tasks Just move to a new server and throw the old one away Fastest path to modernize infrastructure, or move server apps to the cloud
On-boarding Enterprise Server Apps Enterprise cloud adoption is mostly: Existing apps Migrating existing apps LOB production apps Windows: 70-75% of the servers Reality of migration: Migration is expensive Migrating existing apps is a barrier to adoption MSP and PaaS have special needs that VMs can t meet Windows Server 2003 coming to EOL (end of life) No security updates, No patches, No support Risk goes up dramatically after EOL
Today s migration options goo d Manual installation/scripting Often the only way to get applications onto a hosted service (until now) Very labor intensive, expensive, and takes a long time better Best! Virtual Machines (P2V or V2V) Does not address different OS migration Does not address different security, back-up, monitoring migrations Slow to migrate; VAA 10 to 100 times smaller/faster to move MSP and PaaS destinations only want the app/middleware AppZero s Zapp extraction, transformation and rehosting App migration is more flexible; change OS, security, monitoring, etc. Fastest way to move enterprise applications (minutes vs. days) De-risk migrating production applications to the cloud
What Is New With AppZero 5.3? AppZero 5.3 GA (April 2013) Windows Server 2012 Support Tether Monitor Up-Level Dissolve and many more under the cover enhancements!
Key Drivers Cloud providers pull customers toward latest OS OS upgrade adds value to infrastructure refresh Cloud provider policies steer customers to latest Windows Looming EOL for Windows 2003 Highlights the need to refresh infrastructure There is no OS upgrade path from 32-bit servers Customer demand for moving IIS workloads MSFT tools are complicated and developer-oriented Enabler for migration to Azure Web Role instances
Move apps to newer versions of Windows Source Server Source Server zapp zapp Enable moving apps to later Windows versions From Windows 2000, 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2 To Windows 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 Directly (e.g. 2000 to 2012) Reorganizes application assets to match new OS side-by-side components, user folders, environment variables, Limitations Application must be API-compatible with new Windows version Quick Demo Next
Moving existing application with zapp migration Application extracted on demand from source (cloud) to target (cloud) Existing Application MS SQL Server Application App Stack Source Server Target Server
Zapp Migration Model Extract existing application from one environment and migrate it to another The setup: Source machine (e.g. datacenter): No software/tools added Access via network share Target machine (e.g. cloud) Result: AppZero installed Tether to source machine Start the application services Application is paged from source to target files, registry, configuration, data, environment Application is migrated to the target cloud instance
Demo
Zapp migration SQL Server moved and running on a new, clean Windows 2012 server in a few minutes. Services, users, files, registry, and other components. 357 files, 74 folders, ~220 MB in size Zapp migration is systematic, generalized approach Works with any app and app stack Dissolve the VAA is often the last step App inside the VAA is installed on to the target machine No AppZero layer after Dissolve AppZero software is removed from target machine
Summary The only cloud-independent application extraction, transformation, and delivery offering in the market The fastest way to move from any machine to any cloud Move just the app, not the vm (10-100 times faster) Modernize (up-level) your OS & supporting infrastructure Reduce risk of migrating your apps WS2003 EOL remediation MSP and PaaS friendly Leave the mess behind MSP SLA confidence
