for the Agile Enterprise Empower your Cloud with Private Platform-as-a-Service Technology from ActiveState® © ActiveState Software Inc. Published in 2013. Originally published in 2013 2 Stackato® : Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise Empower your Cloud with Private Platform-as-a-Service Technology from ActiveState® If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control. Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise. The Challenge: Deliver on the Promise of the Cloud You’ve virtualized. That’s great! But where are the flexibility, agility, control, and ROI that you need? Why hasn’t the cloud delivered on its promise of a new world order? The problem is one of excess. You have 10,000 new VMs and all this fantastic/cheap computing power, but who’s going to manage it all? Your cloud has only partially delivered on its promise with many in the organization still looking for answers: IT teams need control and scalability. You serve the needs of various internal and external customers, and your time is valuable. You now also have a lot of new computing resources to manage, but you don’t scale like cloud infrastructure! Those management requests are only going to grow in volume and complexity. You need an efficient way to manage your systems without sacrificing control and oversight. Developers need flexibility. You create products. You don’t want to be concerned with provisioning services, deployment processes, or IT systems. You want to code! You want to create products and services that just work. No more fiddling with environments, praying stuff works in production, and playing tag with IT. You need the flexibility to develop in the language that’s best suited to the job, in an environment that fosters innovation and creativity. CIOs need efficiency. You’ve invested in cloud infrastructure and now need to start seeing returns. You not only want productivity gains, efficiency improvements, and ROI, but you also want to see the impact on your organization’s innovation and creativity. At the end of the day, it’s not about the tools and systems, but what they help facilitate and enable.

www.activestate.com Stackato®: Private PaaS
for the Agile Enterprise Empower your Cloud with Private Platform-as-a-Service Technology from ActiveState® © ActiveState Software Inc. Published in 2013. Originally published in 2013 3 The Solution: Stackato Platform-as-a-Service Technology Many organizations lack the IT resources to maintain multiple technology platforms or stacks. They usually standardize on a single technology stack such as a Linux distribution, with limited choices like Ruby, Java, MySQL, or Apache Tomcat. As a result, developers are forced to design applications with these constraints. Stackato private PaaS technology from ActiveState lifts these limitations, allowing developers to choose the best cloud stack for their applications. By auto-configuring and self-provisioning the services required, Stackato makes it easy for IT to support multiple technology stacks, giving developers the flexibility they need. Organizations can easily develop, test, deploy, host, and maintain applications without the cost and complexity of purchasing and managing the underlying hardware and software. Public Versus Private PaaS Enterprises with strict policies or compliance requirements use private clouds to leverage the same advantages offered by public clouds while providing additional security, control, and customization capabilities. Public-cloud PaaS can serve many enterprise cloud needs, but the public PaaS offerings carry significant drawbacks: »» Lack of choice: most public PaaS offerings limit use to specific languages, application frameworks, and configuration, so enterprise users have to conform to strict, inflexible guidelines.Does each application require specific scripts and middleware components? »» Forget those legacy apps: public PaaS offerings are typically designed for new applications and don’t provide the ability to migrate existing application data. »» Not as secure: most public PaaS offerings are secure. But the shared tenancy model is only as safe as its tenants’ weakest vulnerability. Also, putting confidential corporate and customer data on a public cloud leaves it out of your control. This potential vulnerability requires a high degree of confidence that public providers can keep data isolated and protected. When it comes to the public cloud, you need to ask several questions: »» Can you verify the security of your application and data? »» Can you modify and scale to suit the growing needs of your development team? »» How is it integrating with internal infrastructure and data? »» Does it comply with regulatory standards for privacy? »» Can you migrate and manage existing web applications? The primary differentiator of a private cloud is that it operates exclusively for a specific organization, managed either by the organization itself or by a third party, and software applications can be securely deployed behind the corporate firewall. A private cloud gives you full control over your systems, customer data, your own data, and your level of security and compliance.

www.activestate.com Stackato®: Private PaaS
for the Agile Enterprise Empower your Cloud with Private Platform-as-a-Service Technology from ActiveState® © ActiveState Software Inc. Published in 2013. Originally published in 2013 4 vSphere, XenServer, and other virtualization platforms allow you to more efficiently use your server farms, dramatically lowering IT costs and streamlining system administration. They help you provision IT-as-a-Service so you can create self-service on-demand infrastructure to increase productivity, improve hardware utilization, and reduce costs. However, your DevOps teams don’t scale and need help managing all of this new, raw virtualized computing power. This is where Stackato shines. Why You Need Stackato Private PaaS Technology A private PaaS is an application platform that works on top of your private IaaS or private cloud infrastructure, exclusively for your enterprise. It enables developers to leverage all the benefits of a public PaaS (on-demand availability, fast deployment, elasticity) to deploy, manage, and monitor applications, and also meet the security, privacy, and compliance requirements enterprises demand. With a private PaaS, applications share infrastructure resources (instances) with other applications, but each one is isolated via secure multi-tenant containerization so that one doesn’t adversely affect the system or other applications. Other benefits include: »» Flexibility. Developers can develop in whichever language is best for the task at hand, without being restricted by IT resources. They can also self-serve and easily deploy applications themselves, eliminating IT bottlenecks. An infrastructure-agnostic PaaS enables organizations to shift their IT strategy as needed and ensure that their IT infrastructure will be able to support them. »» Security. Breaches of public websites are regularly reported in the media, and while most estimates of their costs are anecdotal, the resulting financial damages for organizations can be extremely serious. A private PaaS is exclusive to your enterprise and less vulnerable to such attacks. The privacy this offers is critical since sensitive information is securely kept within the confines and control of the company. »» Control. While allowing developers to deploy their own applications to the cloud through a public PaaS saves IT significant overhead, you also want to ensure that development teams conform to corporate standards and policies. A private PaaS gives you control over how developers push applications to the cloud. DevOps teams have a simple and straightforward web interface that allows them to easily see what is happening on all their systems.

for the Agile Enterprise Empower your Cloud with Private Platform-as-a-Service Technology from ActiveState® © ActiveState Software Inc. Published in 2013. Originally published in 2013 6 The Stackato Impact Stackato’s impact can be felt beyond IT. The difference it makes to an enterprise’s productivity, efficiency, and ROI can be felt in all parts of the company. Agility Stackato reduces the amount of time spent on IT configuration and helps you get your applications to market faster. With Stackato, your developers can easily test in a production environment, self-serve, and get apps to the production cloud in minutes, not weeks. And that saves you time, resources, and money. Freedom of Choice Stackato provides your enterprise with the freedom of choice and flexibility to choose whichever data service, language, or web framework that works best for each of your applications. Deploy instantly to the cloud of your choice (private, public, or hybrid), on any infrastructure stack, and run your business the way you want. Scalable Management Stackato’s intuitive web-based management console UI lets you scale your applications to grow as usage grows, delivering the performance your end-users demand. Stackato offers centralized cluster administration, dynamic load balancing, elastic scalability, persistent file-system sharing, and consolidated logging. Stackato is designed for the mission-critical operations of a large enterprise but can also easily scale to the needs of individual developers on smaller projects. Start with the Stackato Micro Cloud, and then cluster to take advantage of the built-in auto-scaling, as your usage increases. Cost-savings/ROI Stackato saves you time and money, and allows you to get your application to market faster by enabling an IT-as-a-Service model that features automatic middleware configuration and scaling capabilities. Innovation Stackato automates the configuration, deployment, and management of applications. Your team no longer needs to worry about infrastructure resources and middleware configuration. Stackato enables a fast and simple test environment for all your innovative ideas. Security Stackato delivers secure, compliant control over sensitive data and applications. With the Stackato Fence subsystem, application instances are enveloped in their own secure virtual container (LXC). This allows applications to be fully isolated from each other while protecting the host operating system and ensuring that CPU and memory limits are strictly enforced. The Stackato Harbor Port Service enables users to deploy network applications using protocols other than HTTP(S), and take advantage of multiple SSL certificates. And Stackato offers extensible AOK authentication for external services like LDAP.

for the Agile Enterprise Empower your Cloud with Private Platform-as-a-Service Technology from ActiveState® © ActiveState Software Inc. Published in 2013. Originally published in 2013 7 Portability Stackato is infrastructure-agnostic, and can easily move applications between public, private, or hybrid cloud environments. How Does it Work? Stackato deploys each application to virtual servers, automatically setting up everything an application requires to run—web server, database, language interpreter, web framework, prerequisite modules—virtually eliminating IT configuration time. By providing self-serve choices along with data migration tools, developers are able to get applications to market faster with Stackato. Here’s a quick look at the Stackato architecture: Message Bus (NATS) Databases Messaging Services File Systems Services DEA(s) (Droplet Execution Agents) Web UsersMonitoring Deploy & Upgrade Cloud Controller Health Manager Controller Stager HTTP(S) HTTPS TCP Router > Client Stackato scales your applications to grow as usage grows, delivering the performance your end- users demand. Stackato’s Health Manager keeps a record of what hosts are hosting which DEA (the node an application resides in), so it can balance the load on all available hosts, without overloading any single one. If an additional DEA is required, Stackato can automatically add more in vSphere, EC2, or OpenStack environments. Stackato also allows additional Cloud Controllers, Routers, and Stagers to be added and used as high availability failover safety nets or as load balancers to remove potential bottlenecks and improve performance and reliability. (For a more detailed explanation of the architecture and application deployment process, please refer to ActiveState’s “Stackato Architecture” whitepaper.)

Originally published in 2013 8 A Diverse, Multi-Choice Cloud Application Platform It is noweasy to provision and manage diverse technology ecosystems on your virtualized infrastructure rather than conforming to rigid, standardized stacks. With Stackato, development teams can deploy new applications, or migrate existing applications to the cloud, and automatically provision an application environment with your choice of languages and frameworks, including module/package dependencies. Each developer also has the freedom to choose the database that is best for each application. Developers can mix and match frameworks and databases to fit the needs of the application, rather than trying to make the application work with the pre-ordained stack because it is so costly to support a diversity of technology ecosystems. They can develop applications for various uses on many platform stacks. Whether they need Python or Java, MySQL, or MongoDB, they are free to pick the best tools for the job. Stackato automatically configures application environments, virtually eliminating the time IT and DevOps spend on configuration and dependency management when preparing for cloud deployment. Stackato installs and sets up everything an application requires to run—web server, database, language interpreter, web framework, and prerequisite modules—then deploys the application to as many server instances as required. Now that’s freedom for IT and development teams. An End-to-End Development Platform Code, debug, test, and deploy directly from the desktop to the cloud using ActiveState’s Komodo IDE®. The Stackato client offers all the functionality of CloudFoundry’s vmc client, with additional functionality for running server-side commands and accessing databases services in the Stackato cloud. If you choose to use Komodo IDE, you can test and debug applications in the environment that they will be deployed. Identical test (micro cloud) and production environments eliminate the constant back and forth with IT. Developers can easily move applications from desktop to production, and be sure that what they develop and test will work. No more wasted productivity and no more development backlogs. Simplified Application Lifecycle and Data Migration Management Stackato includes enterprise-ready staging and updating processes to ensure your production application updates and migrations have minimal downtime. With Stackato, you can easily seed your application’s databases, and extract and back-up from databases. You can migrate and deploy applications in a few simple steps. Administrators can easily replicate configurations of existing application environments, and then use the Stackato application update and data migration functionality to move new, existing, legacy or third-party applications to the cloud with minimal re-engineering.

for the Agile Enterprise Empower your Cloud with Private Platform-as-a-Service Technology from ActiveState® © ActiveState Software Inc. Published in 2013. Originally published in 2013 9 The Stackato client offers all the functionality expected of a vmc clone, with additional commands to migrate existing applications and data, and for executing server-side commands necessary for deploying certain applicationssuch as Django and other web frameworks. From mission-critical behemoths to throwaway scripts, Stackato simplifies application lifecycle management with tools and processes designed for portability. Dynamic Load Balancing and Elastic Scalability Once your application is pushed to the cloud, Stackato scales the application as necessary to automatically grow as usage grows. The application can be distributed across multiple instances (even in different data centers) for load balancing, redundancy, and to ensure up-time and availability. Every component in your stack is protected by health checks and automated fail-over.You can also modify memory and instance allocation for all your applications using the Stackato client. Stackato’s elastic scalability delivers the performance your end-users demand. An Application Platform for Your Hypervisor of Choice Stackato is a hardened, enterprise-ready version of Cloud Foundry, so you don’t need to work through various minor but time-consuming details that make the difference between open source and commercial-grade software. Installation is easy. The server-side Stackato components are packaged as a virtual machine that can be run as a stand-alone micro cloud instance, or cloned across a cluster as special-purpose nodes (controller, router, data services, and execution agents). Enterprise-ready means Stackato works seamlessly with the world’s leading cloud infrastructure, to ensure your application automatically and elastically scales to meet the demands of your most popular applications. Run Stackato on your hypervisor of choice, then manage and monitor using that system’s tools for centralized control and visibility at every level of virtual infrastructure. Stackato also works with cloud application monitoring services such as New Relic (included with Stackato) to ensure your applications are meeting your service and performance standards. As a real-time application performance dashboard, New Relic provides immediate insight from the end- user’s behavior down to the line of code. “Stackato [has] a deployment and operations layer that offers the flexibility we need to rapidly update our web software. Stackato’s clustering model has enabled us to deliver a stable and scalable configuration...Into this environment, we’ve deployed our blog site’s Content Management System (CMS), which is built on Drupal.” —Matt Butcher, HPCS
