4. Azure Case Study - Overview
 Java CRM/data warehouse
application that is running on
dedicated hosting is ported to
Azure.
 Classic JEE application using
JBoss, Apache web proxy and SQL
Server.

5. The Challenges
 The application running on Azure
must maintain the same SLAs as the
hosted environment, including zero
downtime.
 The complexities of orchestrating
and configuring the JEE components
needs to be automated.

7. The GigaSpaces Solution
 The complete application, including
Java components, was deployed to
Azure with zero code changes.
 Mission-critical SLAs of the
dedicated hosting facility were
matched on Azure, with elasticity
and application-level monitoring.

8. HPCS Case Study - Overview
 Seeking a compelling alternative
to traditional physical
architectures to handle traffic
spikes and reduce costs.
 Platform consists of Weblogic12,
Oracle11 DB, Apache web proxy.

9. The Challenges
 Enterprise class customers have
needs in excess of traditional cloud
offerings.
 Must maintain the levels of security,
reliability and disaster recovery
provided by the existing physical
architecture.

11. The GigaSpaces Solution
 No need for capacity testing – The service can
scale on demand automatically.
 Servers which fail are immediately replaced,
providing high-availability and SLA
enforcement.
 Multi availability zones deployment - replaces
traditional DR procedures.

12. AWS Case Study - Overview
 First cloud-based social casino platform
 Launched on Facebook, live since mid-
2009.
 Infrastructure consists of Memset load
balancer, Tomcat, GigaSpaces
XAP, MySQL DB.

13. The Challenges
 Empower a massively multiplayer/multi-game
online casino platform.
 Capable of extreme throughput, with hundreds of
thousands of concurrent interactive players.
 Each player must have a good response time.
 Operationally cost-effective through a hybrid
private/public cloud deployment.
 Real-time scalability critical to success.

15. The GigaSpaces Solution
 Hybrid cloud architecture enables
expensive dedicated hosting centers to
only be used for what is required by
regulation.
 Other services sit entirely in the cloud.
 Infinite scalability and pay-as-you-go cloud
model controlled at the business level
rather than the infrastructure level.
