TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy ManagerTM is one of several products under the TIBCO ActiveMatrixTM platform, which is designed to help companies quickly create and deploy new applications and business processes leveraging reusable “services” in a heterogeneous environment. The TIBCO ActiveMatrix platform is fully modular, allowing organizations to select any of the core products such as policy management to address requirements including governance as they arise throughout the SOA lifecycle.
“Without proper governance, the delivery of software runs the risk of being hampered by issues such as compliance, security risks and poor quality of service,” said Ed Horst, vice president of Marketing, AmberPoint. “We are excited about our work with TIBCO to eradicate these concerns businesses face today. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Manager is a best-of-breed solution that was designed to address every type of development approach.”
Service Policy Manager
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Manager provides users the ability to manage and enforce declarative policies across services hosted or mediated by the TIBCO ActiveMatrix platform. The product helps meet compliance challenges, improves agility, and simplifies service-based development. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Manager allows companies to manage such things as authentication and authorization, encryption, logging, auditing and service versioning in a centralized and configuration-driven approach rather hard-coding—and subsequently updating—governance logic into all the services.
The ActiveMatrix Policy Manager is made up of three components:
The collaboration of TIBCO and AmberPoint reduces the overall cost and effort of enforcing end-to-end governance. The integration of these products enables TIBCO and AmberPoint to seamlessly exchange and delegate policies in a federated governance environment, without the need to install agents into the system.
“TIBCO recognizes the distributed nature of SOA, and the importance of managing security and compliance across that environment” said Ram Menon, executive vice president, Worldwide Marketing, TIBCO. “Our strategic decision to work with AmberPoint, the proven leader in SOA runtime governance, is just another demonstration of our continued commitment to providing organizations with world-class products.”
TIBCO and AmberPoint will continue to work closely to drive an open approach for the future adoption of policy interoperability, giving businesses greater flexibility and choice during the SOA deployment lifecycle. TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Manager is now generally available to the public. To learn more about TIBCO’s comprehensive SOA offerings, please visit www.tibco.com.
