2. AppZero vision
We see a world in which enterprise applications move as quickly and easily as mobile apps to and from any cloud or operational stack, anywhere.

3. Complex enterprise app movement
Zero Lock-In
Migrate cross clouds, cross hypervisor
Dissolve packaging to run natively
Zero Install
App images run in snap
Zero Conflicts
Apps resilient to changes
Appzero encapsulates complex enterprse applications into a package called a Virtual Application Appliance (VAA) that can be copied and run instantly without installation.
Applications may be easily moved among machines (physical or virtual), including those in a cloud, providing OS-free instant provisioning

4. Primary use cases On boarding Migrate existing applications to cloud
Fastest, most cost effective, systematic way to get on a cloud
Hybrid/Federated
Continuous and incremental “On boarding”
Cloud bursting
No lock-in
Cloud protection: instance, region, vendor
Enterprise App Store
Dynamic catalog image assembly
Linear vs. exponential image management
ISV distribution
Pre-installed, pre-configured software distribution
Fastest time to deployment
Reusable demo/poc, pre-configured implementations

5. Migrating existing application/workloads to Cloud
On boarding
Migrating existing application/workloads to Cloud
Existing apps out number cloud apps 10,000 to 1
Migrating existing apps is a barrier to adoption
On boarding is too expensive; not “managed” friendly

6. Today’s migration tool options
Manual installation/scripting
Often the only way to get application onto a hosted service
Very labor intensive, expensive, and takes a long time per application
Virtual Machines (P2V)
Cloud and server support limitations – OS /hypervisor conflict
Brings everything good/bad from the legacy server, not just the app
Size of VM can limit D2C migration
Enterprise customers are uncomfortable with vendor lock-in
Server imaging
Size of image can limit D2C migration
Cloud and sever support limitations – OS /hypervisor conflict
Brings all the good and bad from the legacy server, not just the app

7. Moved existing application with zapp migration
Application extracted on demand from source (cloud) to target (cloud)

8. Why not just use a VM? (virtual machine)
VMs are huge because they move the OS as well as the application
VMs that contain Microsoft OS cannot be distributed to customers
Managed Provider will only use their “certified” OS
VMs are about hardware consolidation/savings, not application mobility

AppZero packages applications without a VM/OS:
Application-centric by design
The result is a dramatic and permanent increase in speed of application mobility

9. AppZero basics AppZero makes existing enterprise applications moveable
Automate migration without re-engineering the application
Speed on-boarding of customer applications and cut costs
Applications can be easily moved among machines -- physical or virtual – datacenter and clouds.
AppZero software is an application-centric approach to moving apps
AppZero approach does not include an OS or a VM
Hundreds of times smaller than an app with a VM
Hypervisor agnostic
Application is copied and run, not installed
No lock-in
