ESB
ESB Provides Infrastructure for Service Oriented Architecture
With the advent of service oriented architecture (SOA), the enterprise service bus has become an important component of the IT infrastructure for competitive enterprises. SOA re-configures existing and legacy applications into modular services that can be reused and combined with other services resulting in new solutions to meet changing demands. The enterprise service bus, or ESB, was invented to simplify the management of SOA by making it easier to connect, mediate and control services and their interactions. With an ESB, organizations can more easily add and re-configure services on the fly, and alter the logical flow between services as business processes change. An ESB also makes it easier to distribute services across and between organizations, and manage both the infrastructure and the services deployed within it. In order to better manage their SOA and maintain a competitive edge, more than 1,000 leading enterprises worldwide have turned to the industry's leading enterprise service bus technology – Progress® Sonic ESB® from Progress Software.
Sonic ESB is the is the Leading ESB
Sonic ESB is an enterprise service bus for SOA that makes integrating and reusing information assets simpler and more manageable. Unlike other middleware technologies, Sonic ESB is highly flexible and inexpensive to customize, allowing enterprises to dynamically configure services for more reliable connection, mediation and control. Spanning clusters and security domains to create federated environment that can be managed from any point, Sonic ESB makes it simple to deploy projects and allow them to quickly evolve and scale without the need for recoding. And Sonic allows all connected resources to be broadly available for interaction with other services, and they can be scaled, moved or upgraded without disturbing other running applications.
The Benefits of Sonic ESB
With Sonic ESB, enterprises can:
- Reduce the time and resources necessary to develop new processes by reusing existing applications and data.
- Increase flexibility and responsiveness by minimizing the hidden dependencies among applications, middleware and services in a distributed environment.
- Reduce TCO through industry-standard interfaces and protocols.
- Maintain reliable communication of messages across services.
- Provide a highly distributed yet centrally managed service hosting infrastructure.
- Deploy services incrementally to accelerate delivery of service to customers and reduce risk for larger and more complex projects.
Services infrastructure solutions from Progress Software, also address issues of business process reengineering, enterprise application integration, messaging middleware, semantic integration and others.
