Since our launch of the TIBCO DataSynapse GridServer Engine image in the Azure Marketplace back in August, we have continued to pursue feature updates that improve the integration and experience of scheduling jobs and tasks into Azure. With the increased regulatory requirements of the Fundamental Review of the Trade Book (FRTB), having the ability to burst into Azure for the use of additional compute capacity is a hot topic within the Financial Services industry.
This week, TIBCO DataSynapse released the High Performance Cloud Computing Adapter (HPCCA) to extend the functionality of GridServer 6.2.0 and enable customers to temporarily increase their compute capacity in the cloud.
The hybrid burst scenario takes a step forward with the ability to dynamically create and provision both Linux and Windows VMs directly into Azure. By implementing HPCCA as a Manager Hook into the Broker, it is able to review Broker events and take the right course of action through a simple cloud management algorithm.
