Greg O’Connor
– Pioneering the Virtual Application Appliance approach to simplifying application-
lifecycle management, enabling application mobility to the cloud and enables
reduction of the infrastructure needed for your data center He was co-founder
and president of Sonic Software, acquired in 2005 by Progress Software
(PRGS). At Sonic, Greg O'Connor evangelized and created the Enterprise
Service Bus (ESB) product category, which is generally accepted today as the

Who is AppZero?
Pioneering the virtual application appliance (VAA) approach to server-based
application provisioning, AppZero encapsulates an application and its
dependencies -- with zero OS components. The result is instant-on
applications for cloud or datacenter.

What is State of Art Today?
Do it by hand – WikiMedia application example
– Install
• PHP
• Apahce
• MySQL
• Media Wiki
– Configure to work together
• PHP
• Apahce
• MySQL
• Media Wiki
– Reconfigure from existing configuration but
changed for the GoGrid environment
• PHP
• Apahce
• MySQL
• Media Wiki
– Move the application specific data
• Configuration/modifications
• The data in db
– Test
– Establish a time window do the move live data


AppZero - Mobility
1. Create a VAA 2. Move VAA 3. Run VAA
App 1


AppZero Step 1 - Create
Creating a VAA
Wizard driven creation process
Copies all files and related
artifacts to application into 1 file
and compress it

<app>.vaa -1 self contained file:
– Programs
– Configuration files
– Registry entries
– Network address
– Machine name/id
– Services


AppZero Step 2 - Move

Copy the file to GoGrid


AppZero Step 3 - Run
Start <app.vaa>


Summary – How to get to the Cloud
3 easy steps
– Create VAA from an App
– Move VAA to GoGrid
– Run VAA in the Cloud

No changes to your application
– Reduce risk
Save
– Money
– Time
Future proof
– No Lock-in

Be a Cloud pioneer
– Be a hero

GoGrid = IaaS

SaaS – Software as a Service
PaaS– Platform as a Service
IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service


The “Cloud Pyramid”
Cloud Services economy is a pyramid
Layers equate structure
Building blocks:
– Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
– Platform-as-a-Serice (PaaS)
– Applications (SaaS)
Breadth vs. Niche


Cloud Service Economy
IaaS (Infrastructure)
– AWS, GoGrid
PaaS (Platform)
– Google App Engine
– RightScale
– Force.com (Salesforce)
SaaS (Application)
– Salesforce (CRM)
– Gmail (Mail)
