Sonic ESB®

Enhance the Business Process, Enhance the Business

The tight coupling of OpenEdge with Sonic ESB is the next generation industry-leading infrastructure for distributed business systems.

Sonic ESB is the world's first enterprise service bus, a fundamentally new and profoundly powerful and efficient approach to application integration. Combining XML, enterprise-grade communication services, and a service-oriented architecture based on Web services standards, Sonic ESB provides a cost-effective way to centrally develop, deploy, and manage services distributed across the extended enterprise. A clear evolution from traditional integration brokers and home-grown integration solutions, the Sonic ESB supports incremental deployment, enables companies to reuse resources from one integration project to the next, and is flexible enough to start at the project level and scale to virtually any size business.

OpenEdge Application Server now provides a first-class interface for OpenEdge applications on the enterprise service bus. Through this connection, an OpenEdge application can be deployed as a service directly on the ESB, and can be configured, monitored, and managed by the Sonic Management Console. Any application connected to the bus can then access OpenEdge applications as reusable services provide specialized solutions.

OpenEdge with Sonic ESB is the industry-leading infrastructure for distributed business systems. Using standards-based integration through Web services and J2EE Connector Architecture(JCA) technologies, OpenEdge applications can interoperate with Java and .NET applications.
