Many of you come to me with questions about scalability.
Can my application scale? Can it run on many servers and if so, what is the cost of deployment and administration? How do I check if my application supports load-balancing? How do I manage resources - CPU power, RAM, network bandwidth - allocated to my different customers?
All these are very valid questions and in order to help you answer them, we developed EZstack.
EZstack is an on-line offering that enables you to quickly deploy your web application into a virtualized environment and to perform functional tests on scalability: after deploying and within a single click, you replicate the front-end of your application and you turn on a L7 load balancing. You can then browse your application from your laptop and check how the whole system behaves.
EZstack also comes with a cookbook, a technical document that describes how to implement a similar infrastructure in your own lab.
Finally, EZstack gives you the opportunity to evaluate with your own application technologies such as Solaris zones/containers, ZFS, and the Crossbow project.
So, if you are already a member of the Startup Essentials community, ask for your EZstack account by sending an email to asksun-ezstack@sun.com.
And if are not yet a member of Startup Essentials, register now, it's free!
