What's New

1. (22-07-21) App Projects

We are happy to announce the release of our Projects feature! As your application portfolio grows in size, it can be difficult to keep track of where exactly each application is at in the migration process. By grouping applications into separate projects, you can easily track their assessment progress and report the projects' status, financial insights and other details to project managers or sponsors. Projects can also help you align the timelines and goals of an assessment and enable different teams to tackle separate parts of a cloud migration. Managing your journey to the cloud just got a whole lot easier!

2. (24-07-21) Tidal Tools Application now suggests to create absent custom fields

We are happy to announce a new Tidal Tools feature! Previously, when you submitted the data with tidal sync servers, you had to create your custom fields in advance using the Tidal Migrations Platform or API. With this release, Tidal Tools checks for missing custom fields, provides you with the ability to interactively select which fields you would like to create and, after the confirmation, creates those fields for you!

It is a known quantity, trusted by enterprise security teams, and now available for cloud teams to leverage in the Tidal Migrations platform. This feature will facilitate your discovery process in making sure all your infrastructure inventory is up to date. Once you scan your networks, you can send the output directly to the Tidal Migrations platform using Tidal Tools. After the host data has been uploaded, you are able to browse and assign IP addresses to servers in just a few clicks.

What's New

1. (14-09-20) App Transition Type Recommendations

We’re proud to announce the launch of our recommendation feature! One of the first steps in the planning stage of your cloud migration is to choose a transition type, one of the 6 Rs, for each application. With a large portfolio, it can be difficult to know where to start. You might ask questions like “which of my apps are worth refactoring? Should I rehost or replatform this app?” Tidal’s recommendation engine can help point you in the right direction. Once you complete your assessment, our algorithm will recommend a transition type for each application.

2. (14-09-20) App Cloud Architecture Library

The new Cloud Architecture Gallery provides migration teams with a pick-list of architectures to choose from, which can be curated by a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) organization. It is easy to get stuck in the planning phase of your cloud migration journey. With a curated gallery of proven architectures to choose from, your teams can instead focus on the actual migration. This feature allows your CCoE to manage a set of approved cloud patterns for migration teams to draw from, and more easily scale their migration factory to multiple teams.
