Analysts recommend lean application infrastructure…

Too many clients spend far too much time and effort trying to find the products with the most features. Lean shops look for just enough, no more. “ ”

Tomcat and other servlet containers are well within

the "good enough" threshold.

Through 2017, at least 70% of new enterprise Java

applications will be deployed on an open-source Java

application server.

Case Study: Developing an Enterprise AppStore for a large Technology Company

One of the largest IT infrastructure companies

More than 50,000 employees spread across globally

Client Profile

Challenges

• Has an aging suite of custom and enterprise applications

• outdated Peoplesoft HR and SAP applications that have undergone enormous customization

• Difficult ERP upgrades due to large customizations

• Custom applications were not standardized and managed by business units instead of IT operations

• Data between core ERP and Custom applications were not real time. Batch operations push data from ERP to custom applications end of day

Manage enterprise application stack in a better way. Revert all customizations

Build an enterprise wide App store for their enterprise custom applications

Single entry/exit, rich GUI experience, Anytime/ Anywhere/ Any device

Efficient Business processes

Easy to do - run and maintain, upgrades, hot deployment, enhancements, centralized monitoring, Lower TCO

Enterprise – Business functions can be leveraged and reused

Integrated at back end with ERP, apps at web tier are cloud-aware and scalable

Consolidate master data across multiple application databases

Business Requirements

Introduced a Service Fabric layer to decouple application, database and other interfaces. Implementation through ACE Factory
