An Open Standard for Business Application Agility and Portability in the Cloud

TOSCATopology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) Standard

• TOSCA is an important new open cloud standard, that is enabling a unique eco-system, supported by a large and growing number of international industry leaders…

What is TOSCA?

TOSCA defines the interoperable description of applications; including their components, relationships, dependencies,

requirements, and capabilities….

…thereby enabling portability and automated management across cloud providers regardless of underlying platform or infrastructure thus expanding customer choice, improving

reliability, and reducing cost and time-to-value.

These concepts lead to an application-centric, holistic, unified model • Reusable models extend investments by making it easy to compose

more valuable and complex apps from existing apps• Models can be validated by automation to ensure app-aware,

policy-aligned configuration, deployment and operational semantics

Containment and Connectivity concepts support Composition & Reuse

The collective knowledge of application and infrastructure experts are captured as reusable TOSCA models

TOSCA enables an eco-system where service providers can Compete and Differentiate to add value to Your Applications

Each cloud provider competes by offering their “best fit” of unique capabilities, features, and services that match the application’s requirements

CA Technologies and OASIS TOSCA

As a leader in unified infrastructure and cloud management, as well as one of the

original proposers of OASIS TOSCA, CA Technologies and the CA Nimsoft Monitor

team recognize the importance of this open standard.

TOSCA has the potential to serve as the central enabler of an expanding ecosystem

that will empower more effective modeling of cloud applications and their management requirements throughout

their lifecycle in complex, dynamic, cloud environments.

SAP supports TOSCA standardization

•As a cloud leader, SAP has supported the development of the TOSCA standard from the very beginning. SAP was one of the companies that originally proposed TOSCA at OASIS in 2011.

•In 2013, SAP took part in the TOSCA interoperability demo at Eurocloud Congress, showing an SAP landscape – SAP CRM on Sybase ASE – automatically deployed by TOSCA solutions from several SAP partners, all developed independently.

•We anticipate that TOSCA will deliver significant cost savings and faster time-to-value for the many SAP customers moving to the cloud.

• Domain-specific language for specifying the provisioning and deployment of multi-cloud applications

• Models@run-time engine for enacting the provisioning, deployment, and adaptation of these applications

• Open source (available on GitHub, see cloudml.org)

• Partial support for TOSCA
