1. Challenge - Limitations with Application Performance and Productivity

The way to increase application productivity and performance is to utilize more hardware easily and effectively. Conventional platforms offer multi- and distributed-cores that require complicated threading and network programming.

2. Solution - Application Elasticity as a set of loosely-coupled asynchronously working components
   • loosely-coupled components exchanging events simplifies programming model
   • asynchronous components maximize concurrent use of elastic hardware
3. Implementation - Event Driven Architectures and Elastic Applications

zNet Middleware Principles

1. Flexibility - via an Event Driven Architecture

   zNet supports flexible event communication and asynchronous processing

2. Adaptability - enabling seamless integration with existing code

   zNet preserves application's original Data Model and Business Logic by:

   • Generating events from any built-in and custom data structures without modification

   • Registering existing business logic to process these events

3. Uniformity - unified multi- and distributed-core programming API

   Provide uniform API for event communication and asynchronous processing on local and distributed components
