It comes as no surprise to most IT professionals that cloud adoption has evolved significantly over the last 5 years. More and more enterprises are backing away from all-in approaches to move all workloads to a single cloud vendor and are instead implementing a more nuanced approach that allows them to choose the best-fit deployment environment for each of their individual workloads.
Keep reading to learn just how TIBCO has transformed its offerings to meet enterprises exactly where they’re at and to help turn their IT architecture into the best-fit solution for them.
The reasons behind the trend
Anecdotally, this more nuanced approach to deployment is something that we have seen broadly across the TIBCO customer base—but it is also backed by data. According to the latest State of the Cloud report from Flexera, a massive 89% of organizations are now using a multi-cloud deployment strategy with 73% also utilizing hybrid environments.
The reasons for this are pretty clear. Spreading workloads across multiple cloud vendors provides additional flexibility to negotiate costs, increase availability and redundancy, optimize performance, and create a layered approach for security and data protection. However, there are also scenarios where an enterprise might need even more control over their infrastructure and may opt to add in private cloud or on-premises options. This could include higher security and protection requirements for the most sensitive data. Additionally, there are some workloads that may be too cost prohibitive to migrate to and run in the cloud—a hybrid cloud approach can provide the best of both worlds by allowing enterprises to gain the scalability and agility of the cloud while maintaining a high level of control when needed.
TIBCO® Platform embraces YOUR cloud
With over 25 years of experience partnering with enterprise companies, TIBCO has seen a huge variety of technical and business requirements unique to particular industries or companies. As a result, TIBCO has always been dedicated to supporting the widest range of deployment options, rather than enforcing a particular deployment architecture, so that you have the flexibility to select the best-fit environments for your unique business wherever it may be.
And in June, TIBCO took this commitment even further with the announcement of the TIBCO® Platform, which unifies your TIBCO solutions wherever they run. The TIBCO Platform is built on Kubernetes, so you can easily deploy across a multitude of public and private clouds, as well as on-premises systems and edge devices. With the TIBCO Platform, users can more easily manage all of their enterprise application deployments, availability, and scaling needs within the single interface of the TIBCO® Platform Control Plane.
This unified view of your entire ecosystem creates complete visibility so you have deep system insights through robust monitoring and observability data that can help you further optimize your infrastructure based on system performance and costs, while resolving any potential issues up to 60% faster.
Discover, monitor, and manage existing TIBCO investments
One of the driving principles of the TIBCO Platform is to meet you where you are today by embracing your existing TIBCO solutions. To address this, the TIBCO Platform includes the new Control Tower, which is designed to surface your on-premises monitoring data—including TIBCO BusinessWorks™ 5, TIBCO BusinessEvents®, and TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ to the TIBCO Platform Control Plane—and the best part is that there are no changes or migrations required!
Instead, you can simply register your on-premises data plane with TIBCO Platform to establish a secure ground-to-cloud tunnel to gain visibility into your on-premises TIBCO assets—including TIBCO BusinessWorks 5, TIBCO BusinessEvents and TIBCO Enterprise Message Services! The Control Tower discovers your existing TIBCO Hawk® or TIBCO BusinessWorks agents, and then relays information to the TIBCO Platform Control Plane so your IT operators can then easily discover, monitor, and manage all of your on-premises TIBCO solutions alongside your cloud-based assets.
