Introducing Multi-Cloud Deployment for Qlik Sense Enterprise

[QlikSenseUpdates]

Qlik Sense Enterprise just got a lot cloudier with the first phase of multi-cloud capabilities included in the June 2018 release! These capabilities represent our first step in delivering the only true multi-cloud analytics solution. Our cloud-native, best-in-class architecture gives you unparalleled flexibility and choice in how you deploy analytics across on-premise and public and private clouds without any compromises on the Qlik Sense experience. Our cloud strategy is all about enabling your cloud strategy, and we're exclusively providing cloud analytics on your terms.

Beginning with this release, Qlik Sense Enterprise customers can now distribute applications from a single tenant cloud or on-premise deployment of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows to one or both of two new highly-elastic and scalable cloud environments for consumption and interaction:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise for elastic deployments, a new deployment package designed to run large-scale Qlik Sense Enterprise deployments using containers in the cloud of your choice
  
  
• Qlik Cloud Services*, a public cloud environment hosted and managed by Qlik that is elastic and highly scalable, globally available and always up to date with the latest features

Additionally, all users receive a single license and login across all environments, and access to the new hub, which includes new collaboration and content organization features. You can define rules and policies aligned to your business requirements to determine where data is stored and how analytics are distributed across environments and your user community. You can also change the structure of your deployment as your data and business needs change over time. We don't lock you in to a specific deployment model.

Additional multi-cloud capabilities, including the ability to create and add sheets to applications in the cloud, are planned added on an ongoing basis as part of our continuous release cycle. Reference Qlik’s Statement of Direction for more roadmap details. Below,  watch Mike Tarallo's introductory video to learn more about the first phase of multi-cloud deployment options and the longer-term vision of Qlik's multi-cloud strategy:

Qlik's Multi-Cloud Solution - Part 1 - Introduction

Our multi-cloud strategy is made possible by cloud-native, containerized software that ensures your applications deploy quickly, reliably, and consistently regardless of the deployment environments.  It also ensures a seamless, consistent Qlik Sense experience regardless of whether end users are accessing analytics on-premise, in the cloud, on a device, or across different geographies. And, because different services are developed and improved independently, our continuous release cycles rapidly deliver innovation to you.

Since our Qonnections 2018 keynote, we've been (very) eagerly waiting to show you more of these great new features, and to hear your feedback. Below, watch how a user can distribute apps to a Qlik Sense Enterprise for Elastic environment and navigate the new hub. With our best-in-class multi-cloud architecture running behind the scenes, the user experience is easy, seamless, and fast!

Sorry, let me clarify why I used the word 'migrate'. For now we're working with a single node. The plan is/was to expand to a multi node environment (5.000+ UDC users, multiple countries). So instead of a multi node architecture it's better to look for the multi-cloud solution.

Hello Sander,

Multi-cloud capability, or QSEFE if you may call it; is only available as a consumption node (no edit, no reload). Therefore, you will still need to maintain windows env for now. In the future, reloading and edit will be available.

Regarding restricting access to apps level within a stream, this can be done by utilising Custom Properties.

[Josh_Good]

Yes, I would definitely recommend you consider using a multi-cloud deployment.  Currently, there will be some trade-offs (vs QSE on Windows multi-node), that may or may not impact the use case. For example, users on multi-cloud would have interact only functionality, if that is all they need then it isn't really a trade-off.

Hi We are currently working with Qlik Cloud Services using OKTA as IdP and everything is working fine but we cannot publish the Apps to a different user groups using groupswithaccess custom property, only works using "everyone" value.

somebody knows where or how create different groups or how use the userwithaccess custome property?
