# TIBCO Control Plane Terminology

In this topic, learn about the fundamental concepts, terms used in TIBCO Control Plane.

## TIBCO Control Plane

TIBCO Control Plane is the management and monitoring interface for capabilities and applications. Control Plane is used to deploy, manage, and monitor multiple data planes and the applications and services running on each data plane. Control Plane provides a UI to manage and monitor multiple data planes and the applications running on each data plane.

TIBCO Control Plane is available as two offerings:

- TIBCO Control Plane SaaS: In TIBCO Control Plane SaaS, infrastructure, storage, database, security, and all other aspects are fully managed by TIBCO. There are multiple instances for the TIBCO Control Plane available in different regions.

- Self-Hosted TIBCO Control Plane: In this you are responsible for managing all aspects including infrastructure, resources, deployment, configuration, and security. Each instance of self-hosted TIBCO Control Plane is isolated from other TIBCO Control Plane instances.

## Data Plane

Data plane is a logical group of TIBCO capabilities, applications, and third-party supporting tools running on any public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises infrastructure. Consider a data plane as your Kubernetes cluster consisting of one or more namespaces. The specified Kubernetes cluster can have one or many data planes and each of these data planes correspond to one or many namespaces. Once you register a data plane on TIBCO Control Plane, Control Plane can communicate with data plane through tunnel. You can provision one or more capabilities on a data plane. After you have provisioned capability on a data plane, you can deploy and manage your apps on data plane. You can also register your non-kubernetes TIBCO products as a data plane and monitor it by using TIBCO Control Plane.

## TIBCO Control Tower

TIBCO Control Tower is the connection between the TIBCO Control Plane and the non-kubernetes TIBCO product. By using TIBCO Control Tower, TIBCO Control Plane can monitor TIBCO non-kubernetes products monitored by TIBCO Hawk®. The Control Tower is a separate installation that needs to be configured to communicate to TIBCO Hawk Domains to collect and forward the monitoring data to TIBCO Control Plane.

## TIBCO Developer Hub

TIBCO Developer Hub is a portal for the developer using TIBCO Control Plane, which brings together all aspects of development. It is the developer’s guide to all the right resources, people, and tools within the organization.
