Appcito Introduces Application Delivery Services for VMware-Based Enterprise CloudsVMworld 2015 US (booth 320) - Appcito, provider of a cloud application delivery solution, today announced CAFE for VMware, which provides new application delivery capabilities that integrate load balancing, application analytics and application security services including web application firewall and DDoS. With support for VMware vSphere and vCloud environments, CAFE supports traditional web applications as well as new challenges arising from East-West traffic between micro-services inside applications and the containerization of applications. Additionally, the multi-tenant solution allows IT organizations to provide self-provisioning of these application services to their application teams. Managing Application Traffic Flows Application traffic flows are becoming less deterministic, and infrastructure architects can no longer rely solely on centralized appliances to provide the necessary application delivery and security services for their cloud environments. Additionally, today's big-data tools and elastic resources in the cloud provide an opportunity to collect and analyze detailed application traffic data for real-time monitoring, analysis, remediation and action. Benefits of using Appcito CAFE for VMware environments:
Optimized for VMware hybrid cloud environments, CAFE for VMware offers support for on premise and public clouds allowing users to develop applications and deliver them in any public cloud, and bring the application back to the enterprise without changing delivery policies. Additionally, CAFE provides a very attractive aggregate consumption based pricing model versus legacy per-appliance or VM based pricing. "Market forces are driving enterprise IT and application teams to become agile, resulting in the adoption of public and private cloud for infrastructure services," said Kamal Anand (News - Alert), co-founder and CEO of Appcito. "Appcito's CAFE now enables IT teams to easily deliver, and application teams to self-provision and consume critical application-specific availability, security and analytic services, leading to higher agility and improved performance and security of the applications."
