  2. INTRODUCTION Application Infrastructure Software allows you to create a better app experience and a more productive team. This article explores the importance, features and benefits of these types of tools; looks at how you can prevent Black Friday Sale-size system crashes; and it includes a mini crash-course in Application Infrastructure Software procurement 101. Well, you can't understand Application Infrastructure Software until you understand applications and application infrastructure middleware. It's like trying to build a Lego castle without knowing what a Lego brick is or how to stick one on top of the other. So, can we get back to deep and meaningful ponderings about programs? It'll make sense in a minute.

  3. WHAT ARE APPLICATIONS? WHAT IS APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE? AND WHAT IS AN APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE SOFTWARE? An application is any program designed for an end-user. It can be an email provider, a word processor, a database program, a communication tool - you get the drift. Applications can be desktop (for your computer) or mobile (for your mobile devices - obviously.) The application infrastructure is the world in which your application exists and the components it needs to work. Think of it as a recipe. You need the right ingredients in the right quantities in the right order. A well-designed infrastructure = delicious cupcakes - or something like that. Application Infrastructure Software are the tools and programs needed to successfully deliver the native applications to users, monitor applications, support their development, securely store, share and receive user data and - most importantly - integrate with other applications.

  4. WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE SOFTWARE? IT infrastructure didn't exist until the 1950s, when IBM created its data processing system. However, it wasn't until the late 70s/early 80s that things began to get interesting. The next three decades positively exploded in applications. Microsoft, Cisco, Linux, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, Google - tech nerds were on fire! It was an application apocalypse. Applications went from being on-premises - installed on the physical computer - to living in the cloud. As technology developed and advanced, it became more invisible, so did the network infrastructure. It was like the fable of The Emperor's New Clothes. We were told our programs and data and "rules" were up in the cloud but could we see them? Heck no! How can you manage what you can't see?

  5. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE SOFTWARE? Optimized infrastructure = more productive team. Think about it. Even something as simple as data entry becomes streamlined when you have just one data entry point. Heck, even if you only ever had two data entry points to start with, by losing one, you've immediately doubled your productivity. Yay, you! Your application data is more reliable, because one unified system allows one version of the truth and one perspective. Additionally, it's more secure because one of something is infinitely easier to care for than more than one of something. Just ask anyone who has two or more kids. Your organization works smarter because your application data centre becomes more meaningful and insightful when interpreted in context and alongside other data. You can more easily identify trends, spot opportunities and prevent issues, so your decision process becomes simplified and the customer experience improves - that's a good day at the office!

  6. WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF APPLICATION INFRASTRUCTURE SOFTWARE? It's agile. It places the customer first. It responds to changing needs. It becomes more connected. How do you achieve this? In a nutshell: The cloud and more, more, more cloud. As more organizations choose to move more of their IT infrastructure into the cloud, we'll start to see more providers offering IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). IaaS is a cloud computing service that allows organizations to "rent" servers to run their applications, without having all the maintenance and storage costs they would accrue if they were to own the servers themselves. However, this is tech and things move quickly! It's likely that many components of an Application Infrastructure Software of the future don't even exist yet. You count on this: any solution that enables an organization to be agile, place their customers first, respond to changing needs and exude connectivity is sure to be successful.
