At VMware Tanzu, we are committed to helping large organizations accelerate application delivery. And because all applications either produce and or consume data, Tanzu continues to invest in delivering cutting-edge data solutions that empower enterprises to achieve greater data efficiency, faster and more secure access, and scale. VMware Tanzu Data Solutions is a family of technologies that enhances VMware Tanzu Platform and is built to store, process and query critical data resources in real-time and at massive scale, both on-premises and public cloud. New functions to quickly and easily bind services to apps in Tanzu Platform for Kubernetes make integrating data services simple. Our new and upcoming announcements and releases for Tanzu Data bring significant enhancements across our portfolio; here’s a closer look at what’s new:
Advanced, large-scale enterprise messaging with VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ 4.0: Tanzu RabbitMQ 4.0 delivers a major milestone for the product with enhanced resiliency, interoperability and availability for queues and streams. With the introduction of Khepri, a new metadata store for a more resilient architecture, Tanzu RabbitMQ 4.0 is optimized for large-scale enterprise deployments with improvements to resiliency and data production in multi-node and multi-region clusters. Tanzu RabbitMQ 4.0 also introduces native support for AMQP 1.0 providing developer-driven topology features that improve productivity, and improvements to Quorum Queues which enhance performance and scalability. Additionally, the integration of secrets support, Helm chart deployments, and plugin enhancements streamline configuration and management, offering greater control and security for enterprise messaging solutions.
Enhanced disaster recovery in VMware Tanzu Greenplum: Tanzu Greenplum enhancements optimize resource utilization with new asynchronous Read Replica capabilities which transform multi datacenter disaster recovery clusters into active read replicas, doubling read-only workload capacity with minimal additional cost. This new capability enhances disaster recovery capabilities and optimizes resource utilization, enabling businesses to maximize their database infrastructure investments.
Leverage parallel processing for complex geospatial queries with Tanzu Greenplum: The release of the Tanzu Greenplum H3-PG extension integrates the H3 geospatial indexing system with Tanzu Greenplum, enhancing its capabilities for handling and analyzing geospatial data using hexagonal grids. The increasing availability of geospatial data from various sources (satellites, sensors, and user-generated content) poses challenges in efficiently managing and analyzing large volumes of information. Existing solutions are not scalable for large-scale query processing. Tanzu Greenplum now provides an efficient way to answer complex spatial queries that exploit the parallel architecture of an MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) Engine. This is achieved by (1) providing scalable spatial indexes that can zoom in/out of datasets based on user queries, (2) reducing broadcasting of tuples by co-locating spatial join operations, (3) balancing the data set to avoid computational skew, (4) providing users an option to generate approximate query results rather than exact answers. Approximate query results are very valuable if the queries are executed super fast. Users can drill down when they see a spatial area they are interested in. This powerful addition enables precise and scalable geospatial indexing, improving the accuracy and efficiency of spatial analysis within Greenplum environments.
Inject powerful data capabilities into Java apps with Spring integrations for VMware Tanzu GemFire: The latest Tanzu GemFire release leverages the power of Spring, streamlining the development process and enhancing performance. The latest Spring ecosystem integration enhancements collectively simplify in-memory data grid integration, accelerate application deployment and enable support of real-time analytics. Key integrations include Spring Data for Tanzu GemFire, Spring Boot for Tanzu GemFire, and Spring Cloud Data Flow for Tanzu GemFire.
Improve data reliability and scalability with Tanzu GemFire for Kubernetes 2.4: This release enhances fault tolerance with zone-aware scheduling, minimizing the risk of data loss and service interruptions by distributing GemFire pods across different availability zones. Customers can now resize persistent volumes on-the-fly, ensuring scalability without downtime as data demands grow. Additionally, streamlined configuration through cache.xml bootstrapping simplifies setup and reduces the potential for errors. With integration into the latest Kubernetes APIs, this release also future-proofs your operations, boosting performance, security, and overall system stability.
Elevate enterprise database security with VMware Tanzu for Postgres Advanced: Tanzu for Postgres Advanced introduces Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), providing an additional layer of security for enterprises handling sensitive information. TDE enables encryption of data at rest , protecting it from unauthorized access and simplifying compliance with stringent data privacy regulations. This enhancement enables organizations to confidently secure their critical data while maintaining high performance and reliability.
Level-up your enterprise data services with VMware Tanzu for Valkey and VMware Tanzu for MySQL enhancements: Our newest caching offering, Tanzu for Valkey, replaced VMware Tanzu for Redis, providing improved data caching capabilities. Additionally, new enhancements have been recently added to Tanzu for MySQL to enable robust performance and reliability, catering to diverse enterprise database needs. These solutions, along with VMware Tanzu for Postgres and Tanzu for RabbitMQ are natively built into Tanzu Platform, enabling a seamless experience for developers and platform teams. The native data service experience makes it easy for application developers seeking easy-to-use, on-demand data services for modern applications.
With these transformative updates, Tanzu Data Solutions continues to drive innovation, helping businesses achieve greater efficiency, security, and scalability in their data operations.
