Today• Running an unsupported Operating

System:

• Solaris 2.6, 7, 8

• Old OS not supported on new hardware

• Old hardware falling apart. Poor reliability

• Into a maintenance contract for hardware

resuscitation

• Not being able to leverage any kind of

consolidation

• Stuck!

With AppZero• A migration path!

• Running your app on newer Operating

Systems - Solaris 10

• Running on power efficient hardware

• 100% mobility

• Physical, Virtual, Datacenter

• Able to consolidate

• Something that Sun/Oracle cannot

provide you (Sol2.6/7)

When you install an Application

ConfigBinaries ServicesLibraries

AppZero encapsulates the Application(s)

ConfigBinaries ServicesLibraries

IPx.x.x.x

And then…

A Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) is a set of files that contain pre-installed, pre configured application(s) with all of

its dependencies

A Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) can be

Approaches for creating a VAA:

1. Learn mode

2. Fresh Install on empty VAA

3. Whole HD capture

What type of application can I put on a VAA?

• It can be:– Custom and proprietary applications– Of the shelf applications.– A simple “hello world” type of application– To a Java stack– To multiple Oracle DBs– To a complex Baan or SAP setup– you name it!

• What about apps with kernel drivers?

Do I have to change or recompile my app? NO

The AppZero Virtualization

The AppZero solution provides a virtual environment in which:

§ An Appliance (VAA) contains all the elements required by the application to run:

– Executables, libraries, services, scripts, configuration files, network identity, host identity..

§ A VAA is protected and isolated from the UOS and other VAAs.§ A VAA sees a configurable and merged view of its own files and

the UOS files§ The VAAs can be managed independently and run without

conflict.§ An old app can be migrated and consolidated
