Silver Lining: TIBCO Announces Application Delivery Platform for Enterprise Cloud Computing

06/04/2009

TIBCO Software announced TIBCO Silver, the industry’s first rapid application delivery platform designed specifically for building and deploying cloud applications inside Global 2000 IT environments.



ebizQ received the following:

TIBCO Silver is the only software delivery platform built from the ground up that enables enterprises to reduce the time required for building and deploying cloud applications from months to minutes, TIBCO says.

With TIBCO Silver, enterprises can overcome the impediments to widespread enterprise adoption of cloud computing – issues such as availability, security, integration, governance and scalability. According to an April 2009 Forrester Research report entitled, Inquiry Spotlight: Cloud Computing, Q2 2009 , “Cloud computing represents a significant shift in the way IT operates today and shows no signs of being a passing fad. The efficiency, scalability and cost savings it brings make cloud computing something that businesses must consider, especially with 2009 set to be another slow year for the economy.”

TIBCO Silver builds in "self-aware" elasticity. This feature eliminates the need for human intervention to address and resolve when applications should grow or shrink. Instead, TIBCO Silver automatically adjusts to troughs and spikes. Powered by TIBCO's patented Complex Event Processing (CEP) technology, this self-aware capability will save software architects time and resources when they manage and display cloud applications.

The self-aware nature of TIBCO Silver also extends to how it manages Service Level Agreements (SLAs) – an essential requirement inside Global 2000 enterprises. For example, a software architect may need to specify an SLA for the response time of an online order processing application. Because it is self-aware, TIBCO Silver manages the performance of the application and dynamically deploys additional resources to ensure the SLA is met. TIBCO Silver also supports system and compute level SLAs such as CPU and memory usage.

“Our enterprise customers have been intrigued by the possibilities of cloud computing for some time, but the barriers to entry have been numerous,” said Matt Quinn, senior vice president of engineering and technology strategies of TIBCO Software. “With TIBCO Silver, we will be delivering what customers require to make enterprise cloud applications a reality now.”

Silver also includes broad language support -- Java, C++, and Ruby with support for .NET and Spring that allows an architect the flexibility to construct a composite application using services developed in various programming languages and to deploy composite applications.
