Here at TIBCO, you will often find folks talking about event-driven computing as the key to achieving the two-second advantage™ (what we define as the ability to capture the right information at the right time and act on it preemptively for a competitive advantage).

It is also the key to achieving a business-optimized cloud. Everything that happens in your cloud (and this holds true for both public and cloud models) is an event. By monitoring and tracking for specific events and the patterns they create, your cloud can respond accordingly – optimizing your operations.

Unlocking this power requires processes and applications to know what to do when events occur. With TIBCO Silver™, for example, you can easily build business rules around how your private or public cloud responds to specific scenarios.

Best of all: you can deploy just the right amount of software where you need it, when you need it. Here are some examples of cloud events and the automated real time action:

- A cloud-based process has a long queue of requests backed up in the system > The process dynamically adds more resources to handle the volume.

- An important customer is trying to execute a large transaction > Private cloud software allocates resources based on priority – allowing the transaction to go through uninterrupted

- A data center starts to reach capacity >A private cloud flexes to provide the public cloud with needed capacity

With TIBCO’s public cloud services, such as Silver CAP and Silver BPM, you can leverage a TIBCO infrastructure that has event processing at its core to create and deploy cloud applications and processes in a matter of minutes. Elastic by nature, these cloud services dynamically grow or shrink based on service deployment demand.

For those Silver customers running a private cloud in their own data center, the Silver Fabric management software analyzes events published by the private cloud software, running enterprise applications and the infrastructure to optimize the infrastructure for both performance and utilization.
