This week, we shared our vision for Tanzu Platform as the flagship offering in the Tanzu Portfolio. This unified application development and delivery platform cuts through the complexity of modern app delivery while taking full advantage of its surrounding ecosystem. Four simple commands and abstractions make it easy for app teams to do the right thing: secure by-default builds, easy binding, a single command push to production, and scaling with zero downtime.
The Tanzu Platform also comes pre-packaged with a rich variety of data solutions that support varied enterprise application workloads needed for data persistence. VMware Tanzu Data Solutions leveraged through Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry includes Postgres and MySQL for relational databases, RabbitMQ for messaging and streaming, and Redis for caching. Tanzu Data Solutions also offers Gemfire, an advanced real time in memory grid technology.
Tanzu Data Solutions are natively built into the Cloud Foundry platform enabling a seamless experience for developers and platform operators. The native data solution experience makes Tanzu Data Solutions the #1 choice for application developers seeking easy-to-use, on-demand data solutions for modern applications. With guaranteed Day 0 compatibility for the latest Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry versions, our data solutions are secure by default, easy to set up and manage and include data protection and monitoring capabilities for enterprise needs.
Recent new product releases of Tanzu Data Solutions include the following new capabilities:
Enhanced Backup and Restore capabilities in MySQL and Postgres including developer and platform operator initiated backup and restore workflows and improved performance via reduced persistent disk usage.
Disaster Recovery solutions are provided for all data solutions natively. RabbitMQ and Redis newly introduced enhanced replication solutions to provide disaster recovery capabilities complementing the solutions already available on MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Gemfire.
Security enhancement via TLS support for highly available Redis, MySQL and Postgres instances. With Service Bindings, applications talk to data solutions via encrypted channels using TLS protocol. Any intra cluster traffic for replication is also over encrypted channels.
VectorDB support in Gemfire and PostgreSQL was introduced to support Generative AI applications using vector stores.
We are confident that the latest enhancements to Tanzu Data Solutions will significantly improve the comprehensive suite of capabilities our customers rely on for running mission-critical applications on Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry. These advancements reflect our commitment to not only meet but exceed the high expectations our community has for us while fostering a stronger, more innovative ecosystem.
