Enterprise Service Bus

Enterprise Service Bus Offers Best-in-Class SOA Infrastructure

Service oriented architecture (SOA) is changing the way enterprises integrate and manage information assets. Old systems and applications are no longer lost investments – an SOA infrastructure allows them to be reconfigured as modular services and made available throughout the enterprise. The benefit an SOA infrastructure is to maximize flexibility while simplifying management, and the enterprise service bus (ESB) makes this task much easier. Today, many organizations use an ESB to better connect, mediate and control the services available on an SOA. The enterprise service bus also makes it easier to reduce the cost of IT investment by better enabling older or legacy systems to be reused, reducing the cost of custom software development. For the industry leading enterprise service bus, look to Progress® Sonic ESB®.

Progress Software Delivers Superior Enterprise Service Bus

As the industry's first provider of the enterprise service bus, Progress delivers a product that easily enables organizations to maximize the value of their service oriented architecture. Sonic ESB enables the creation of federated services by allowing architects to more easily manage the SOA from any point. Hard-wired dependencies are eliminated through configurable service interaction, so it's easier to deploy projects initially and – without need for disruptive re-programming – allow them to scale and evolve, extending their value throughout the organization. Sonic enterprise service bus allows all resources to be readily connected and made broadly available across the enterprise – Web services, J2EE applications, legacy message brokers, and more. By making these federated services available for dynamically-configured interaction with other services, Sonic ESB allows the organization to bring IT resources into better alignment with organizational requirements.

A Playbook for ESBs

co-authored by Progress Software and eBizQ
The enterprise service bus (ESB) has emerged as a key enabler for more agile and effective integration across enterprise systems and business processes. The paper, A Playbook for ESBs, introduces four integration patterns for ESBs and the enterprise integration scenarios they help make possible. By combining the advanced capabilities of an ESB with integration patterns you can deliver key benefits to both business and IT.

Improve Connection, Mediation and Control with the Sonic Enterprise Service Bus

The Sonic ESB is the industry's first, best-in-class enterprise service bus allows organizations to better accomplish the major tasks necessary to exploit the value of service oriented architecture.

Connect: Simplify the connection of new applications, web services and legacy technologies.
Mediate: Reconcile incompatible protocols, data formats and interaction patterns; eliminate hard-coded service dependencies between applications; and make it easier to combine and extend existing services to meet new requirements.
Control: Simplify deployment of services across a distributed environment; deploy configuration changes remotely; and provide detailed statistics to monitor performance, detect faults, and diagnose problems.

In addition to the enterprise service bus, Progress also offers business process management software, infrastructure software, integration software, messaging software and more.
