Paremus Service Fabric - the Executive Perspective

The Executive Perspective

Application maintenance may account for a staggering 80% of an organization's annual operational expenditure.

While cloud computing may be part of an answer, there is little point in implementing a strategy that fails to directly address the cost of maintaining and evolving applications.

Modular Systems are Maintainable Systems

Modularity underpins agile software development; modularity enables rapid application deployment and repeatable low risk upgrade; and modularity ultimately drives code re-use. Applications need to be modular and your runtime needs to understand modularity. OSGi™ is the industry standard for software modularity. The Paremus Service Fabric is the industries leading OSGi based Cloud Platform.

But more is required.

Realizing that business agility, service availability, governance and operational simplicity are fundamentally interrelated, the Service Fabric has been design from the ground up to direct addresses these concerns:

	•	Business Agility
		Service Fabrics may be rapidly created, scaled or contracted. One or more applications can be simply deployed to, scaled and upgraded upon each Fabric.

	•	Operational Expenditure & Efficiency
		Applications may be simply configured / re-configured and updated as required. Under-utilized or expensive legacy hardware simply removed from, and/or new more cost effective hardware simply added to a running Fabric.

	•	Service Availability
		The Service Fabric manages and maintains your applications and insulates them from hardware failure. Application patches can be applied in seconds, and perhaps more importantly, an application can be returned to a previous well-known state just as rapidly. The Service Fabric is self-maintaining; dynamically adapting to planned or unplanned changes of the physical resources available to it.

	•	Governance
		All software entities deployed to the Service Fabric are fully defined including their versions, the application to which they belong and the services they are allowed to interact with. At each point in time your production environment is fully described. Meanwhile, the ability to deploy, starts/stops or change an application is controlled and audited by the Service Fabric’s role-based management.

	•	Simplifying your Runtime
		The Service Fabric provides a simple, cohesive and cost effective runtime. A coherent approach for your compute and big data requirements, the Service Fabric also replaces legacy provisioning, grid computing, monitoring and configuration management solutions.

Built upon open industry standards, the Paremus Service Fabric helps you avoid future technology lock-in. Priced aggressively, the Paremus Service Fabric offers immediate CAPEX savings, but more importantly, enables your organization to realize significant and sustainable OPEX reductions.
