“Getting contracts approved is a time-consuming process that involves pushing large amounts of data to our central office in Orlando... Since it wasn’t possible to duplicate our main business systems and processes in our Japanese offices, it was taking up to 30 minutes to complete the IT portion of the contracts process.”

- Rich Jackson, vice president of technology operations at Hilton Grand Vacations

Changing ADC Requirements

• Close proximity of ADC to App

• Static environment

• Monolithic in nature

ADC Web Tier App Tier DB Tier

App Traffic

Old Architecture – Apps, Data “Location Dependent”

• App/Data broken into pieces

• Distributed in nature

• Dynamic environment

• Object reuse and scale necessary

• ADC must be near objects, deployed per object

• User access from anywhere on any device

Today’s Architecture – Apps, Data “Location Independent”
