Perforce Introduces New Diagram App for Confluence Users with Data Egress Constraints

 

MINNEAPOLIS, December 2, 2025 — Perforce Software, the DevOps company for global teams seeking AI innovation at scale, announced the launch of a new app on the Atlassian Marketplace: Gliffy Diagrams | Zero Egress & Isolated Cloud-Ready.

The application is specifically designed for security-focused teams operating in Atlassian Cloud or those planning a seamless migration from Atlassian’s Data Center products.

Ensuring Zero Data Egress for Diagramming

Gliffy Zero Egress ensures that all diagram data remains strictly within the customer’s Atlassian environment. This crucial feature makes secure cloud diagramming possible for Atlassian users who have strict data control requirements and regulatory mandates.

The new app is also being developed for compatibility with Atlassian’s Isolated Cloud product suite, which is scheduled for release in 2026.

Perforce Strengthens Enterprise Java Support Offering With Spring LTS

MINNEAPOLIS, April 8, 2025 — Perforce Software, the DevOps company for global teams seeking AI innovation at scale, today announced the availability of Long-Term Support (LTS) for Spring Boot and Spring Framework through its OpenLogic division. The new offering tackles a critical challenge for enterprise Java teams: maintaining secure, stable Spring applications amid an accelerated six-month release cadence.

Following the release of Spring Framework 6.0 and Spring Boot 3.0, the Spring ecosystem shifted to a time-based release model aligned with OpenJDK’s cadence. While this accelerates access to new features, it reduces support windows—typically to 12 to 18 months—forcing organizations to continuously test, validate, and deploy updates to maintain compliance.

“DevOps teams are caught between the need to innovate and the operational reality of managing complex Java environments. Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between rushing upgrades and accepting security risks. With Spring LTS, they can stay on stable versions longer while planning migrations strategically — with ample time to test, validate, and ensure compliance requirements are being met.”

— Matthew Weier O’Phinney, Principal Product Manager at Perforce OpenLogic

Extending Stability and Security Coverage

OpenLogic’s Spring LTS solution extends critical support for several popular versions:

  • Extends support for Spring Boot 2.7 and Spring Framework 5.3 through October 2027.
  • Coverage for Spring Boot 3.2 and Spring Framework 6.1 is scheduled to follow soon.
The offering provides guaranteed security patches for critical CVEs within 14 days and high-severity CVEs within 30 days, along with flexible options including premium support with one-hour response times and production deployment assistance.

Enabling Strategic Upgrades and Risk Reduction

OpenLogic offers a comprehensive Java solutions portfolio, including support for Spring, OpenJDK, and Tomcat, alongside professional services like migrations and consulting. This flexibility allows organizations in regulated industries or those managing hundreds of microservices to:

  • Align Spring upgrades with business priorities rather than mandatory community support timelines.
  • Reduce technical debt accumulation.
  • Enable better feature testing before adoption.

Real-World Impact: Saving 5,500 Hours of Work

“This customer faced a decision between investing two full quarters to upgrade their Spring-based infrastructure or gambling with their platform’s security and compliance posture. By adopting Spring Long-Term Support, they avoided both scenarios, saving an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 hours of unplanned work while maintaining security coverage and delivering mission-critical features on schedule.”

— Jeff Michael, Senior Director of Product Management at Perforce Software

Availability and Next Steps

Spring LTS is available immediately. To learn more about how to strategically manage your enterprise Java infrastructure and align Spring upgrades with your business goals, visit OpenLogic.

實現 ISO 26262 合規的藍圖:透過經認證的資料管理掌握汽車功能安全

ISO 26262 是一項國際標準,旨在規範量產車輛中電子和電氣系統的功能安全。對於汽車開發人員和原始設備製造商 (OEM) 而言,實現合規是一項艱鉅的任務。

在大型全球團隊處理數百萬個開發、設計和測試檔案的過程中,要駕馭此流程,需要無懈可擊的資料管理和絕對的**可追溯性**。本指南將說明業界唯一獲得 ISO 26262 官方認證的資料管理平台——Perforce P4——如何為您提供堅實的基礎,讓您充滿信心地克服這些挑戰。

資料管理對於 ISO 26262 的絕對重要性

現代汽車開發是一項資料密集型工程,涉及龐大的設計檔案、海量的原始程式碼和無數的數碼資產。有效率地滿足 ISO 26262 標準的關鍵在於**完整的可追溯性**。若沒有強大的資料管理系統,這將變成一個難以駕馭的過程,不僅會超出預算、延誤生產,更會危及車輛安全。

常見的合規挑戰:

  • 龐大的規模: 汽車專案涉及大型二進位檔案、CAD 模型和廣泛的程式碼庫,這些都遠超傳統系統的負荷。
  • 全球協作: 分散式團隊需要快速、安全地存取最新版本的檔案,從而無法證明開發過程受到嚴格控管。
  • 安全性與 IP 保護: 保護寶貴的智慧財產權免於未經授權的存取至關重要。
  • 可稽核性: 稽核員要求一條從初始需求到最終發布的清晰、不間斷的證據鏈。

為何經認證的工具鏈是您的合規加速器

Perforce P4 獲得的 ISO 26262 認證由權威機構 **TÜV SÜD** 頒發,確認其符合標準第 8 部分第 11 條款下作為安全支援工具的資格。這不僅是一個標章,更是一項策略優勢。

P4 認證之所以重要的 5 個原因:

  1. 簡化工具資格鑑定: P4 已通過正式的第三方資格鑑定,大幅減輕您團隊自行執行冗長且昂貴的工具評估的負擔。
  2. 系統性錯誤預防: 該認證驗證了 P4 能有效防止如意外覆寫、版本歷史遺失或未經授權的變更等關鍵軟件錯誤。
  3. 內建的可追溯性與可稽核性: P4 的版本控制會自動建立一個強大的稽核追蹤紀錄,簡化了合規驗證。
  4. 流程的完整性與可靠性: P4 已被證明能可靠運行,並支援符合 ISO 26262 安全生命週期和變更控制的開發流程。
  5. 為 OEM 和供應商帶來信心: 使用像 P4 這樣經認證的工具,能讓 OEM 和一級供應商確信其開發工具鏈符合業界最高的安全標準。

Perforce P4 如何實現端到端的合規管理

Perforce P4 是深受頂尖汽車創新者信賴的行業標準資料管理平台。以下說明它如何應對功能安全合規的核心挑戰:

1. 建立牢不可破的稽核追蹤紀錄

P4 作為所有數碼資產的「單一事實來源 (single source of truth)」,為每一次變更創建了完整且不可變的歷史記錄。

  • 不可變的歷史記錄: 儲存檔案的每一個修訂版本,讓追溯任何組件的演變過程變得輕而易舉。
  • 工具鏈整合: 與 Jira、Jenkins 和 Perforce ALM 等工具無縫整合,將需求和測試案例直接與原始程式碼關聯,實現端到端的可追溯性。

2. 以無與倫比的擴展性駕馭 PB 級資料

與 Git 等難以處理大型檔案的系統不同,P4 專為處理汽車開發中常見的龐大二進位檔案和資料量而設計。

  • 無可匹敵的擴展性: 可管理 PB (Petabytes) 級的資料和數千名同時在線的使用者,而不會犧牲效能。
  • 差異傳輸 (Delta Transfers): 智慧地僅同步檔案的變更部分,大幅縮短開發人員處理大型資產時的等待時間。

3. 驅動安全的全球協作

P4 的聯合式架構確保全球分散的團隊能夠高效協作,同時不影響安全性。

  • 全球高速存取: 代理伺服器 (Proxy) 和邊緣伺服器 (Edge Server) 為全球團隊提供如區域網路般的高速檔案存取。
  • 精細的存取控制: 可將權限設定至單一檔案層級,保護寶貴 IP 的同時,也能順暢協作。
  • 獨佔式檔案鎖定: 透過確保一次只有一人能編輯檔案,防止無法合併的二進位檔案發生衝突和覆寫災難。

4. 自動化並簡化複雜的工作流程

P4 靈活的架構和先進的分支模型可簡化開發流程。

  • Perforce Streams: 一種結構化、視覺化的分支模型,可簡化不同開發線的管理和變更傳播,降低分支與合併的複雜性。

為何 P4 在汽車合規領域中脫穎而出

P4 專為應對這些挑戰而生,提供了一個統一、可擴展且經認證的平台,將合規從一道障礙轉變為一個流暢的過程。其他資料管理解決方案,例如 Git,在處理大型二進位檔案、原生檔案鎖定和企業級可追溯性方面,往往無法滿足 ISO 26262 的嚴苛要求。

晶片產業能從電玩遊戲學到的 5 堂關鍵課程

半導體產業是現代科技的基石,從智能手機到人工智能,萬物都由它驅動。但隨著晶片複雜度急遽攀升、市場需求變化比以往更快,這個產業傳統、僵化的開發週期正成為瓶頸,拖慢了創新的步伐。與之形成鮮明對比的是,遊戲產業在快速、迭代的開發模式與對使用者的深度癡迷上蓬勃發展。對於半導體產業的高階主管、工程師與設計團隊來說,驅動遊戲世界的敏捷原則提供了一套強而有力的嶄新playbook。

1. 告別瀑布式的僵化,擁抱敏捷的迭代

挑戰:緩慢、缺乏彈性的開發週期

半導體設計常遵循嚴格的「瀑布式」模型,產品路線圖提前數年規劃,每個步驟都從規格制定線性地走向下線 (tapeout)。雖然這種細緻的流程能將代價高昂的錯誤降至最低,卻也扼殺了創造力,使其難以適應新的市場機會或技術挑戰。

啟示:透過迭代與回饋加速創新

遊戲開發是動態的。開發工作室會發布搶先體驗版或 Beta 測試版,在一個週末內收集玩家回饋,有時甚至會根據這些意見對整個專案進行重大調整。這種敏捷性讓他們能不斷優化使用者體驗,並確保最終產品是玩家真正想要的。

如何應用於半導體:

  • 敏捷驗證 (Agile Verification): 與其等待完整設計完成,不如漸進式地測試和驗證較小的矽智財 (IP) 區塊。這能更早發現重大缺陷,並建立更快速的回饋循環。
  • 早期原型製作 (Early Prototyping): 使用 FPGA 和模擬平台,讓軟體開發和系統級測試能提早進行,從而在晶片下線前很久就建立硬件回饋循環——這非常類似於遊戲的 Beta 測試。
  • 螺旋式開發 (Spiral Development): 採用一種模型,讓每個設計迭代都在前一次的基礎上建構,在連續的循環中融入新需求和回饋,而非走單一的線性路徑。

2. 聚焦玩家:將終端使用者體驗置於首位

挑戰:與真實世界使用者的脫節

半導體公司由工程驅動,專注於電晶體密度、功耗目標和效能基準測試等指標。雖然這些指標至關重要,但這種專注可能導致與使用該技術的軟體開發者和消費者產生脫節,最終產品可能在紙上規格強大,但在實際應用中效果卻不佳。

啟示:對你的終端使用者抱持狂熱

遊戲開發者對「玩家體驗」近乎狂熱。他們投入無數小時進行遊戲測試,以確保遊戲不僅效能良好,而且「感覺對了」。遊戲機制和使用者樂趣至關重要,如果體驗不夠引人入勝,開發者會毫不猶豫地放棄數月的心血。

如何應用於半導體:

  • 為現實世界優化,而不僅是為跑分: 針對特定、真實世界的負載進行晶片設計,例如 AI 推理或高畫質遊戲。NVIDIA 的市場主導地位就是最好的證明,他們的 GPU 在其設計的特定市場中表現卓越。
  • 與軟體開發者合作: 積極與在您硬件上開發應用的開發者互動。他們的見解能揭示哪些功能最為關鍵,以及如何為這些程式設計師優化晶片。

3. 像遊戲引擎一樣思考:實現即時優化

挑戰:靜態、預先定義的效能

傳統上,晶片的效能參數在設計階段就被鎖定。這種靜態特性可能效率低下,導致晶片在執行簡單任務時消耗過多電力,或在最需要時無法發揮峰值效能。

啟示:即時適應

像 Unity 和 Unreal 這樣的遊戲引擎不僅僅是運行——它們會不斷適應。它們動態調整渲染品質、物理運算和資源加載,以維持流暢的影格率,完美平衡視覺效果與效能,讓玩家沉浸其中。

如何應用於半導體:

  • 晶片上 AI (On-Chip AI): 不再僅限於在 EDA 工具中使用 AI,而是將其直接整合到晶片中。晶片上的 AI 可以預測未來的工作負載,並預先調整時脈速度、電壓甚至處理單元的配置。
  • 適應性架構 (Adaptive Architectures): 設計具有可重構組件的晶片。想像一下,一顆處理器可以根據應用程式的即時需求,動態地在其 CPU、GPU 和神經單元之間重新分配資源。

4. 打造更大的遊樂場:打破生態系統的壁壘

挑戰:碎片化和專有的生態系統

半導體領域充滿了碎片化的架構和封閉的生態系統,迫使軟體開發者浪費資源為每個平台優化程式碼。這種摩擦扼殺了創新,也讓開發者感到沮喪。

啟示:優先考慮跨平台一致性

遊戲產業基本上已經解決了這個問題。像 Unity 這樣的遊戲引擎讓開發者可以一次性開發遊戲,然後將其部署到高階 PC 或五年前的智慧型手機上,並獲得一致的體驗。他們透過專注於能消除硬件差異的工具和 API 來實現這一點。

如何應用於半導體:

  • 標準化軟體介面: 共同合作創建標準化的 API 和硬件抽象層 (HAL),以減輕開發者的負擔。目標應該是「一次編寫,到處高效運行」。
  • 擁抱開放標準: 支持像 **RISC-V** 這樣的開放標準是打破生態系統壁壘、促進更廣泛合作、採用和創新的強大方式。

5. 從客戶到社群:建立你的粉絲群

挑戰:孤立的 B2B 思維

許多半導體公司以傳統的企業對企業 (B2B) 思維運作,將客戶視為其他公司,而非由個別開發者和使用者組成的社群。這造成了資訊孤島,並錯失了寶貴的共同創新機會。

啟示:駕馭社群的力量

成功的遊戲公司將其社群視為最寶貴的資產。他們積極與玩家、實況主和模組製作者 (modders) 互動,以獲得直接回饋、培養忠誠度,並創造一個強大的自然行銷引擎。

如何應用於半導體:

  • 擁抱開源: 積極參與並支持開源硬件和軟體專案。這能建立良好聲譽、加速創新,並提供洞察使用者需求的直接管道。
  • 遊戲化學習: 透過創新的互動方式啟發下一代工程師。例如,加州大學戴維斯分校的研究人員創建了一款名為《Photolithography》的遊戲,教玩家如何建造虛擬晶片。

設計一個適應性強且協作的未來

AI和遊戲正在推動下一波半導體創新。能夠引領這個新時代的公司,將是那些擁抱敏捷方法、以使用者為中心的設計和即時適應性的公司。然而,這種文化轉變需要正確的工具。

這就是 Perforce IPLM這類解決方案發揮作用的地方。它提供了一個統一的平台,用於管理現代半導體設計的複雜性,從矽智財生命週期管理到全球驗證。透過打破孤島並實現安全的協作,Perforce IPLM 賦予企業採納遊戲世界敏捷、社群驅動原則的能力,並加速其創新之旅。
