Case Study

Description:
The Digital Services Division (DSD) of Associated Newspapers (ANL) provides all online development and infrastructure services to ANL’s online portfolio of newspaper web sites. For DSD, the ability to turn around new websites and feature releases without disrupting website availability were essential to maintaining a leadership position in UK online news. By migrating all web applications to VMware vFabric tc Server, DSD achieved fast testing and live deployments, rapid turnaround on production fixes, proactive problem solving and high website availability.

VMware Case Study Sample

For DSD, the ability to turn around new website and feature releases without disrupting website availability were essential to maintaining a leadership position in UK online news. Unfortunately, DSD’s seven development teams faced challenges using Oracle WebLogic, the previous application server.

Prior to deploying VMware vFabric tc Server, the DSD development teams invested too much developer effort doing builds and releases during their two-week release cycle using WebLogic. Every time something failed during test, staging or deployment, they would have to wait 1-2 hours for the application to build and deploy on WebLogic.
