CA AppLogic Management

CA AppLogic is a turnkey cloud computing platform for composing, running, and scaling distributed applications. CA AppLogic uses advanced virtualization technologies to be compatible with existing operating systems, middleware, and web applications. CA AppLogic operates on the logical structure of the application, enabling you to package an entire N-tier application into a logical entity and manage it as a single system. This approach also makes it easy to assemble, deploy, monitor, control, and troubleshoot applications visually in a browser.

Each application on CA AppLogic includes everything needed run on a grid of commodity servers. All infrastructure components such as fire walls, load balancers, network configurations, and database servers are combined with the application code and data forming a “single entity”. Advanced monitoring and metering tools, and prepackaged operational procedures are also combined with the application. Binding software to hardware enables applications running on CA AppLogic to be replicated on demand, on the same grid or in multiple locations, without any code modifications.

CA Server Automation integrates with CA AppLogic to provide the automated, policy-based provisioning capabilities of CA Server Automation in CA AppLogic environments.

Administrators can add CA AppLogic servers and discover grids using either the Administration user interface or the dpmutil CLI command.

Note: For CLI command information, see the Reference Guide.
