Comments on: vSping – VMWare Buys SpringSource – Quick Analysis http://www.redmonk.com/cote/2009/08/10/vspring/ One foot in the muck, the other in utopia Thu, 24 May 2012 14:45:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Relica http://www.redmonk.com/cote/2009/08/10/vspring/comment-page-1/#comment-341663 Relica Thu, 22 Apr 2010 07:43:00 +0000 http://www.redmonk.com/cote/2009/08/10/vspring/#comment-341663 Springs as we all know are elastic objects that can store mechanical energy in it and can also consequently release it when required. Now springs can be classified into many types, depending on the properties that each spring possesses. One such property on the basis of which springs are classified is the load that each spring carries. On the basis of the load that each spring can carry, springs can be divided into three types, which are tension spring also known as extension spring, torsion spring and lastly compression spring. So you should have some idea about the different types of compression springs. About compression springs Let us deal on the various types of compression springs. But before we start explaining its types you should at first know what a compression spring is. The name compression springs it self suggest that it is a spring that can be compressed. But when dealt in details it refers to a spring which is designed in such a way, that whenever any form of compressive load is applied on the these springs, the springs gets reduced in its size. Generally by compression springs we usually refer to the coil compression springs but that does not mean that all compression springs are coil compression springs. In fact there are many other types of springs and even certain other objects which resemble a spring that can be used as compression springs in certain special cases and applications.

At the infrastructure level we find Operating System resources, which VMware encapsulates and virtualizes, offering shared hardware multitenancy but very limited elasticity. In order to increase the resource elasticity – which is the key factor of Cloud cost savings – virtualization needs to extend to the application level. That is the next layer, and I would expect that a tight integration of SpringSource with VMware would in fact provide this for Java based applications. This evolution has a lot of similarities to <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/SAAS/?p=599&tag=rbxccnbzd1" rel="nofollow">Microsoft’s move with Azure</a>. Whereas Azure offers Cloud enablement for .NET applications, VMware+SpringSource would do the same for Java applications. However, in both cases this applies rather to newly developed applications – existing applications need to be redesigned in order to take advantage of the virtualization and resource abstraction features. ISV’s who want to extend their portfolio and take advantage of the growing demand for SaaS need to work across multiple deployment models, where development and maintenance costs can double if they need to create the same application in more than one format. VMware+SpringSource will facilitate this for Java oriented ISV’s, as the announcement states support for both traditional JEE deployments as well as Cloud based deployments. An alternative to the bottom-up approach of system infrastructure vendors such as VMware or Microsoft, comes from some Application Infrastructure vendors such as <a href="http://www.salesforce.com/platform/" rel="nofollow">SalesForce.com</a> or <a href="http://www.magicsoftware.com/2559-en/uniPaaS.aspx" rel="nofollow">Magic Software</a>. These vendors provide for some time already PaaS and SaaS/Cloud Enabled Application Platforms (SEAP), which deal with virtualization and elasticity by abstracting system resources from the applications, so that XaaS can be achieved at conventional data centres.
