Benefits

Lightning-fast messaging

When every nanosecond counts and your business needs to move data quickly, it can–as low as 210 nanoseconds of latency with single-digit nanosecond variance between separate applications—even in the cloud, where resources are widely dispersed and communications speed is inconsistent.

Big data meets real time

You can expect maximum performance and reliable message delivery throughput. With a single instance of FTL, you can deliver over 6 million messages per second, and deliver guaranteed messages at over 850,000 per second. With TIBCO, you can gather, analyze, and respond using all your data. Performance is the fuel for digital transformation.

Cloud-native messaging

For your microservices communications needs where you need “smart endpoints and dumb pipes,” TIBCO FTL delivers messaging capabilities without any compromise, keeping your applications loosely coupled, yet cohesive and efficient. There’s less to worry about and more to gain when you can rely on great data delivery performance no matter how you build out your microservices architecture.

Risk-free innovation

Available as a Community Edition offering free development, test, and limited production use, TIBCO FTL gives you the chance to experiment and innovate without having to make upfront investments.

Broadest messaging portfolio

TIBCO® Messaging offers the most comprehensive messaging portfolio, including fully distributed, high performance, peer-to-peer messaging; open source Apache Kafka® messaging and distributed stream-processing; MQTT for IoT, web, and mobile messaging; and certified JMS standards-based store-and-forward in a single, seamlessly integrated platform.

Capabilities

Leverage Advanced Technologies

Let’s not beat around the bush, TIBCO FTL is a radical departure from conventional approaches. It’s highly optimized to leverage the latest advancements in hardware and networking technologies such as 10GbE, RDMA, 40Gb Infiniband and OFED—and it uses an innovative, hard-to-beat, content-based filtering for efficient data distribution.

Really Fast Application Development

Developers can just focus on information sharing as they don’t have to stress over the normal details (transports, quality of service, and data formats). Plus, many of these choices can be changed on the fly through administration, outside of the applications, which also saves a lot of time. It’s also cloud-ready with Docker® images provided for deployment in the PaaS of your choice.

Interoperability Across all TIBCO Messaging

TIBCO FTL connects with TIBCO eFTL™, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™, TIBCO Messaging® - Apache Kafka Distribution and TIBCO® Messaging - Eclipse Mosquitto Distribution providing one platform to address all inter-application communication needs. For example, you can receive data from IoT devices via MQTT and publish into KafkaⓇ streams.

Simplified Administration

There's more than raw speed here. Centralized monitoring and management streamlines an administrator’s job. Other features including InfluxDB® historical statistics and Grafana® dashboards make for fast maintenance and reduced downtime.
