Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
Application modernization services address the migration of legacy to new applications or platforms, including the integration of new functionality to provide the latest functions to the business.Modernization options include re-platforming, re-hosting, recoding, rearchitecting, re-engineering, interoperability, replacement and retirement, as well as changes to the application architecture to clarify which option should be selected.
Industry:Technology
The ongoing maintenance, management, conversion, enhancement and support of an application portfolio by an external company. AMO, a subset of application outsourcing (see separate entry), includes changes that generally take less than some predefined time to implement (e.g., 10 days or 30 days). Examples of maintenance include regulatory changes, software upgrades, new release installations and “fix it if it breaks” troubleshooting. AMO may involve the transfer of people and application software to the vendor.
Industry:Technology
Application management provides a wide variety of application services, processes and methodologies for maintaining, enhancing and managing custom applications, packaged software applications or network-delivered applications.
Industry:Technology
Application integration is defined as the process of:
Keeping redundant copies of data (in independently designed applications) consistent, or
Enabling end-users to access data and functionality from independently designed applications on a single user interface.
Industry:Technology
Because the market has evolved, products that were previously referred to as integration suites within this segment are now included with ESB suites. The application infrastructure suite market now includes only application platform suite functionality. Application platform suites are products composed of portals, integration middleware, BPM and business component engineering. They are geared toward supporting a variety of different project styles, including composite applications, new SOA applications and process integration.
Industry:Technology
Application infrastructure is software platforms for the delivery of business applications, including development and runtime enablers.
Industry:Technology
The Application Development (AD) software market comprises tools that represent each phase of the software development life cycle: Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), design, construction, automated software quality and other Application Development software.
Industry:Technology
Application delivery controllers (ADC) are deployed in data centers to optimize application performance, security and resource efficiency by offloading servers, providing deep payload inspection and making the best use of complex protocols. Originally deployed for externally-facing Web applications, they are now used to deliver services for many types of business applications and protocols. Recent developments in software-based and virtual ADC platforms provide more deployment flexibility, especially in cloud services and virtual environments.
Industry:Technology
Application control solutions, sometimes referred to as “application whitelisting,” are a type of endpoint (e.g., desktop and server) protection under the broader category of host-based intrusion prevention systems. Basic application control solutions control whether a given piece of executable code is allowed to execute with more advanced solutions, subsequently offering varying degrees of control over what an application can do once it is running as it interacts with system resources.
Industry:Technology
The Application Architecture (AA) describes the layout of an application’s deployment. This generally includes partitioned application logic and deployment to application server engines. AAs rely less on specific tool or language technology than on standardized middleware options, communications protocols, data gateways, and platform infrastructures such as Component Object Model (COM), JavaBeans and Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). The application architect is tasked with specifying an AA and supporting the deployment implementation.
