I recently did a quite lengthy post on 67% increase in productivity. 

http://blog.gridgistics.net/post/2008/05/Aware-Server-6725-More-Productive-than-VSNET.aspx

I just wanted to post a quick summary based on that post.

Aware Server

 

VS.NET 2008

 

Result

 

Built in F5 debugging of services and workflows.

Create your service, then configure your environment, and then create and code your testharness.

·         Aware Server 54% faster to develop WCF services.

·         Aware Server – now prior WCF knowledge required.

·         Aware Server treats workflow development (WF) the same as service (WCF) development.

One click deployment – Any environment.

Deploy to your machine running IIS.

·         Aware Server is “One Click” deployment of services.

·         Aware Server allows you to quickly test your services locally, and then deploy them to be shared with all developers.

Versioning services and running them side by side.

No built in versioning capabilities

·         Aware Server will let you easily version and run those versions.

Provisioned endpoints.

Developer must create the endpoints.

·         Aware abstracts protocol from the developer and puts it into the hands of operations.

Automatic service call load balancing

You need to setup and configure your own load balancing solution.

·         Aware automatically scales your services by load balancing your service calls across all machines running your services.

Provisioning Conditions.

You need to setup your service on every machine you want it to run on.

·         Setting up Aware Services to run on one server, or 1,000 servers.  One policy will take care of all deployment and configuration for ALL of your servers.

Re-deployment will automatically run your new code.

Re-deployment is only local on your own machine.

·         If an Aware Server policy is setup to run your service on 5 machines, when you redeploy that service Aware Server will automatically re-deploy the new code to all 5 machines.

Provisioning time schedules.

You would have to code/manage a schedule yourself.

·         Aware Server automatically will run services when you want them to run, where you want them to run.

Zero configuration.

You need to know the URL of the machine of the services you wish to call

·         Aware Server was designed from the ground up with Services Virtualization in mind to eliminate service location configuration.

IIS is not required, Although you can use IIS as well.

IIS is required to host your services.

·         Aware Server offers you the flexibility of using whatever you hosting model you want.
