While ensuring acceptable application delivery has always been important, it historically was not a top of mind issue for the majority of IT organizations. That changed several years ago when IT organizations began to develop a concerted focus on it. This era that began several years ago is referred to as the Application Delivery 1.0 era. At the same time, many IT organizations are still in the process of implementing solutions that respond to the challenges of Application Delivery 1.0 era, a new generation of challenges is emerging. These challenges are driven in large part by the:
- Emergence of a sophisticated mobile workforce
- Adoption of varying forms of virtualization
- Adoption of varying forms of cloud computing
- Shifting emphasis and growing sophistication of cyber crime
With this 2011 Application and Service Delivery Handbook, noted industry research, Dr. Jim Metzler, has designed a guide to help IT organizations ensure acceptable application delivery when faced with both the first and second generation of application delivery challenges. By creating a framework that IT organizations can customize for use in their environment, this handbook offers end-to-end guidance that the typical white paper cannot provide.
