EBizQ had an article on cloud governance that raised the issue of the particular needs for governance in cloud applications: if you are to delegate application operational control to a third party, you sure what to make sure there are appropriate SLAs in place.
The article referenced services firm OpenCrowd‘s Cloud taxonomy – which covers technologies related to TIBCO like DataSynapse, but seemingly missed TIBCO Silver and a few others. TIBCO Silver, of course, exploits TIBCO CEP technology to provide aspects of governance and control of cloud applications.
Of course, “non-cloud” applications require governance too, and the challenge is to find methods that enable governance with minimal runtime or development costs… some TIBCO offerings here are:
- ActiveMatrix (the TIBCO SOA suite) covers things like lifecycle governance, policy management and performance management
- Active Service Gateway (based on TIBCO CEP) provides high performance service routing and policies.
With Silver, ActiveMatrix, and ASG exploiting CEP in this area, I think we have a (small but discernible) trend here.
OpenCrowd has launched an interactive Cloud Taxonomy that enables vendors such as yourself to submit additions to the Cloud Taxonomy. We will gladly add all products you wish to submit. http://cloudtaxonomy.opencrowd.com
We knew our graphic would limit the products we could include due to physical constraints and launched the interactive Cloud Taxonomy to address this issue.
Thanks Brad – nice community cloud service!
Cheers
