Cobus Boshoff discusses cloud bursting with webMethods ESB, which is the dynamic deployment of ESB instances on-demand to a private or public cloud. This allows for high performance, non-critical applications to leverage extra resources from the cloud when needed, only paying for the additional capacity. Command Central is used to provision new Integration Server instances via templates and manage the cloud-burst instances.
