Tibco unveils next-gen platform for public, private, and hybrid deployments

At its annual user conference, TUCON 2011, Tibco Software has unveiled new software that allows users to provision complex environments across public, private and hybrid clouds. The next- eneration software expands upon Tibco's leadership in supporting enterprise demands for private cloud environments, while also providing unique support for public and hybrid environments. While Tibco Silver Fabric private cloud platform allows users to package, provision, and manage the enterprise applications, Tibco Silver Marketplace public cloud platform offers individual users and organizations the ability to pay for only the software they use, with no upfront expenses or longterm commitments.

Ivan Casanova, director, product marke ting, Tibco Software, "Tibco Silver- the first enter prsie cloud plat form-is uniquely quali fi ed to help custo mers scale their business to meet the demands of the 21st century. With Tibco Silver, our customers are able to lower costs and improve IT agility regardless of where they are in their cloud adoption model. The unique self-service capabilities we are bringing to market will revolutionize the way enterprise developers provision their own platforms." "The new private cloud platform, Tibco Silver Fabric enable customers to migrate their existing Tibco applications to a more automated, virtualmodel. Here, we have made self-service provisioning of Tibco platform technologies a reality. It is Tibco's corporate strategy for all our products to be available across the spectrum of cloud deployment models," added Casanova.

The company believes that in order to meet the highly cyclical demands of large-scale business applications, enterprises traditionally either focus on peak performance, which requires steep investments in underlying hardware and support, or they forgo SLA management with a lower cost approach that often results in poor per for mance when appli cations demand more power than the supporting infrastructure can supply. Tibco Silver Fabric delivers the best of both worlds, high performance at reduced cost, by utilizing the computing power of the existing systems to automatically optimize and scale to meet business demands. Hosted securely within the on-premise data center, Tibco Silver Fabric seamlessly works with the existing hardware and software, quickly enabling shared pools of computing resources that dynamically expand and contract based on real- ime metrics. On the other hand, Tibco Silver Marketplace brings the power of the Tibco platform directly to end users who want to build powerful applica tions. Based on an innova tive 'pay-as- ou- o' consumption model, Tibco Silver Marketplace will empower a whole new set of organizations and users to start using Tibco software.
