AppZero allows applications to be packaged into lightweight Virtual Application Appliances (VAAs) that can run on any OS without installation. VAAs isolate applications and their dependencies, making them portable across machines, data centers, and clouds. This provides fast provisioning times and the freedom to deploy applications anywhere without vendor lock-in. AppZero aims to be the next step in application virtualization by enabling fully portable, zero-install applications at a fraction of the size of traditional virtual machines.
To the cloud...
- 1. To the Cloud: Fastest Way to Move Existing Apps (No Change/No Lock-In)
- 2. Applications to the cloud ….. Cloud Computing is a game changer Migrating application to the cloud requires different approach than VA/VM image converter Taking advantage of managed services in the cloud The enterprise wants the freedom to move from cloud to cloud with no change AppZero = next evolutionary step • A necessary one • An addition to the virtualization eco-system, not a replacement • More options = more agility
- 3. What is AppZero? • Zero Install • Zero Conflicts • Zero Lock-In AppZero encapsulates enterprise-class applications into a package called a Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) that can be copied and run quickly without installation. AppZero isolates applications from one another and the underlying OS instance. Applications may be moved among machines easily, including those in a cloud, providing OS-free instant provisioning.
- 4. When you install an Application •Binaries •Librarie •Services • Config s
- 5. AppZero encapsulates the Application(s) •Binaries •Librarie •Services • Config s •IP •x.x.x.x
- 6. And then… A Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) is a set of files that contain pre- installed, pre configured application(s) with all of its dependencies A Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) can be •Services • Config •Binaries •Librarie compressed and s encrypted, or uncompressed •IP •x.x.x.x
- 7. Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) The VAA: Packages all the elements required by the application to run (except an OS): Package once, run everywhere Allows applications to be freely moved – physical or virtual servers – at customer site or in the cloud Travels light; a VAA is 10x – 100x faster to move than a VA Is isolated from the underlying OS and from other VAAs. Makes no changes to the underlying OS Can be managed independently and run without conflict.
- 8. How AppZero works Package: Create virtual application appliance (VAA) with the AppZero Creator Deploy: VAAs are copied to physical or virtual machines -- applications run without installation. Zero-install Run: AppZero Director creates small runtime environment to isolate VAA from operating system. The application writes changes to the VAA. Underlying OS is unchanged. Administer: AppZero Admin manages VAAs 8

Similar letters (VA and VAA) – big differences Virtual Appliance (VA) Virtual App Appliance (VAA) is a virtual machine image that runs on a is an application image designed to run virtualization platform (includes OS) on an OS Similarities Decrease time to market and get customers up and running faster Reduce costs and complexity of developing and testing software Simplify deployment and patching and reducing support calls – Not for Windows + Windows today – Virtual only + Physical and Virtual – ISV owns OS lifecycle + IT owns OS lifecycle • Managed by ISV + Managed by IT – Large in size + Small in size Virtual Appliance – Limited clouds + Cloud ready App OS

The impact of AppZero’s zero-install •Our experience running SAP ECC6/7 on a new machine: • zero-install from cloud reduces total steps from 50+ to 1 • zero-install from cloud reduces total time from 40 hours to 5-10 mins current approach zero-install from cloud Deploy SAP ECC7 Steps 50+ 1 Wizard hours 0 Install 40 hours 0 Deploy 1 instance 0 Start application 5 -10 min 5 - 10 min Total Time 40++ hours 5 - 10 min

- 14. VAA for app on tap • VAAs do for applications what VMs do for hardware – Separates App from OS – ZeroInstall - runs on any similar OS – Life cycle automation (clone, copy, start, stop, compress) – Application state is captured • Ultimate deployment flexibility -- no code change – OS migration – Physical or virtual – Data Center or Cloud (IaaS, MCP, PaaS) – Continues ready to move – Dissolve • Baggage free – just the work load – 10-100x smaller than VM/VA =faster – Redistributable within the Microsoft license agreement – Clear separation between app and OS/support infrastructure
- 15. VAAs in action …. the ISV PoC … 15
- 16. Proof of Concept: the traditional way • Request that customer have machine available to specifications • They assure you it’s ready to role • Your SE shows up on site and finds nothing is as expected • SE spends time unraveling mysteries, • SE then spends time installing and configuring app • Time passes … perhaps numerous calls and emails back to base • Success. (your SEs never fail) • Time to rally the customers and begin the work. – Hmmm … they were here just a minute ago ……..
- 17. Proof of Concept: the AppZero way • Back at the ranch: encapsulate application once as VAA, use repeatedly • Copy VAA to machine (physical or virtual) on site or in the cloud • Run application -- no installation or configuration required • SE shows up and gets right to work with the customer

All work is harvested AppZero transitions ISV application from demo through production Enterprise Departmental Trial Trial goes live in a department POC basis for Trial roll out POC POC harvested for other field engagements Demo basis for POC Demo App purposed for Demo and customer requirements 18
- 19. Seamless provisioning and the ISV Today With AppZero • Initial installation is time consuming • Zero-install is just a copy and run • Often errors result from setup and • Setup and configurations are built in to the app configuration image • Apps are customized for customer • App customization can be captured and requirement in an add hoc way reused • SE work product is not systemically • Big increase in SE productivity and leveraged responsiveness • Customer is afraid to upgrade the • Customers love the ISV and happily give more product or buy additional modules money 19
