ESB Integration

ESB Integration Solves Significant Business Challenges

As IT infrastructure technologies and business systems continue to evolve at a rapid pace, getting heterogeneous products and technologies to work together is one of the biggest challenges facing enterprises today. To achieve enterprise integration of technology as well as greater business agility, more organizations are turning to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the enterprise service bus (ESB). With an ESB, integration is easy as routing. Web services support, communication, and mediation between business entities are more easily managed and facilitated. ESB integration enables technological components to be added, moved, swapped, or deleted while posing marginal disruption to other components. When implementing ESB integration, leading enterprises today choose solutions from Progress Software.

Progress Software Provides Two (2) Best-in-Class ESB Integration Solutions

Progress Artix

Do you require out of the box support for popular integration technologies and protocols? If so, Artix ESB may be the answer for you. Progress Artix is an advanced infrastructure suite for service-oriented architecture (SOA) that includes distributed technology-neutral SOA products that can work together or independently - giving users unprecedented flexibility in adopting SOA. Artix ESB, the backbone of the Artix system, makes integration and SOA deployment easier and more affordable. Built to be standards-based and distributed in design, Artix ESB enables enterprises to:

  • Adopt SOA incrementally. By leveraging existing infrastructure and creating a network of smart, standards-based endpoints, Artix enables enterprises to initiate low-risk, high-value SOA projects and then gradually add services as needed.

  • Build dynamic and adaptable deployments. Because Artix ESB endpoints are independently configurable, services can be modified, extended, and hot-deployed without causing disruption to other components or systems.

  • Deploy technology-neutral solutions. Since Artix is a multi-platform and multi-protocol solution, enterprises can avoid purchasing an expensive and cumbersome centralized server, as well as avoid vendor lock-in.
