Sonic ESB connects people, processes, and systems with the right information at the right time, any time—and with greater performance and high availability. By helping you become more responsive, agile and efficient, Sonic ESB will set you on the path towards true operational responsiveness.
Simply put, Sonic ESB is the most reliable and scalable JMS-based enterprise service bus available today. It quickly integrates any IT resource and quickly scales and --without disruption—across multi-site, distributed environments. And with fully integrated, end-to-end operational visibility and semantic data transformation support, it redraws the lines of competition among the SOA and integration crowd.
Achieving operational responsiveness means you are able to accelerate new business initiatives, quickly adjust to M&As, reorganizations, and changing business conditions, and comply with new regulations.
Choosing Sonic ESB as your integration solution will not only enable you to capitalize on new opportunities, drive greater efficiencies, and reduce risk, it will also help you:
- Increase developer productivity and IT responsiveness with an open service and integration standards-based programming model.
- Flexibly adapt existing systems to new user and business requirements.
- Quickly integrate new applications into existing IT environment.
- Eliminate the rigidity and fragility of hard-wired point-to-point integration of applications and services.
- Assure business continuity with high levels of reliability and availability.
- Reduce risk and up front investment with incremental deployment.
Sonic ESB is designed to simplify the integration and flexible re-use of business applications in the most heterogeneous enterprise IT environments. Here's a closer look at its key features:
- Open Services & Integration Standards Programming Model:
Sonic ESB supports REST and Web Services development based on a JAX*RS and JAX*WS annotated POJO model that simplifies development, process organization, and productivity while eliminating vendor lock-in with a portable code.
- Distributed Operations Management:
Sonic ESB is ideal for multi-site, high-transaction environments because you can install, upgrade, and manage it all from a central location, reducing deployment time and the costs of on-site resources.
- Integrate across security domains:
Sonic ESB spans security domains to form a federated environment in which each domain preserves autonomy to manage authentication locally.
- The Dynamic Routing Architecture® (DRA):
Sonic 8.0’s patented Dynamic Routing Architecture delivers unmatched, software-based fault-tolerance and scalability ideal for multi-site, high-transaction environments.
- The Sonic Continuous Availability Architecture (CAA): Ensures messages are never lost and always delivered in order; measures failover in seconds, not minutes; all without the need for costly RAID, OS clustering software or third-party HA frameworks.
