Why does being virtual really matter in application delivery within the cloud and across the WAN? Well, as this article on PCQuest.com points out, it’s faster and more cost effective. Or, as the author so succinctly puts it, “Another fairly common, though expensive, solution is to place pairs of special dedicated (hardware) appliances along the transport path to boost or improve throughput.”

Critical to lowering costs and increasing the efficiency of remote software development environments is a high performance wide area network (WAN) infrastructure. Software configuration management (SCM) solutions are commonly accessed over the WAN , as well as via private, public, or hybrid cloud environments where remote developers can experience performance degradation due to high latency, resulting in lost productivity and higher development costs. This webcast discusses these issues in accessing IBM Rational TeamConcert over the WAN alon with some innovative solutions. Register today.

We read with great interest this blog entry from DoubleCloud entitled, “Why Should ISVs Care About Virtual Appliances, A Personal Testimonial.” The author points out two main ways in which ISVs can leverage virtual appliances:
- ISV’s can package their existing product as a virtual appliance. Packaging as a virtual appliance can simplify the delivery and deployment process (think cloud). And some applications may even run better in a virtualized environment.
- Use application infrastructure virtual appliances to reduce development time, efforts, costs.
