move applications from the data center to the cloud
• Named to “10 Cloud Startups to Watch”
• Partners/Customers:

5. Poll Question #1

6. Enterprise Application Migration
AppZero does for apps what VMs do for machines
Source Machine
Target Machine
Discover
Copy & Run
Extract
Dissolve
& install
VAA
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)

7. Operational stacks form data center to clouds
The enterprise has a spectrum of “operating stacks” with changing
levels of ownership to deploy applications that run the business.
App
Owned
Shared
Out sourced

8. Applications are now operational stack independent
Physical
Virtual
Hypervisor
OS
version
32/64
bit
Datacenter
Cloud
IaaS, MSP,
PaaS
App
Owned
Shared
Out sourced

10. Poll Question #2

11. Windows Server 2003 End-Of-Life: Facts
• After July 14th, 2015:
– Mainstream and Extended Support are over
– End of Security Update stream
– Only Custom Support contracts available
• Only under Premier Support, plus $$$ per-server fees
• Only incident support: still no security updates

12. Poll Question #3

13. Windows 2003 End-Of-Life: Risks
•
End of security updates and bulletins
– It’s “zero day forever”, exploits just accumulate
– 2003 is vulnerable, likely already targeted today
•
Both PCI and HIPAA explicitly require vendor
support, and patch stream, for compliance
•
Impact to support cost and SLAs
– Time to resolve incidents w/o vendor support
– Business impact of extended downtimes

14. Poll Question #4

15. Today’s migration options
good
• 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
• Virtual Machines (P2V or V2V)
better
Best!
•
–
–
–
–
–
Often requires manual application hostname and IP remediation
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

–
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
