BANGALORE, INDIA: TIBCO Software Inc., a provider in software solutions on Wednesday announced TIBCO Silver, a rapid application delivery platform designed specifically for building and deploying cloud applications inside Global 2000 IT environments.

The only software delivery platform built from the ground up that allows enterprises to reduce the time required for building and deploying cloud applications from months to minutes, said a press release.

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 titled, Inquiry Spotlight: Cloud Computing, Q2 2009(1), "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, said the release

"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.

He added that with TIBCO Silver, they would be delivering what customers require to make enterprise cloud applications a reality now.

TIBCO Silver would provides a set of container support for Java, C++, and Ruby with support for .NET.
It would be offered as beta on June 30, 2009.
