Application Infrastructure

Faster than a speeding bullet. Is your business ready?
"Faster than a speeding bullet" doesn't just refer to superheroes anymore; it's the velocity your business needs to compete. For example, the standard for trade-to-settlement time in financial services has gone from T+3 (trade date plus three days) to T+0 in just a few years. Event-driven SOA infrastructure—from ESBs to real-time data services and complex event processing (CEP)—can streamline provisioning and visibility in your business. Register for the paper Faster Than A Speeding Bullet to learn how you can stay ahead of today's increasing business velocity.

Apama
The Progress® Apama® Event Processing platform can monitor rapidly moving event streams, detect sophisticated patterns, and take action - all within milliseconds. Apama's sophisticated complex event processing (CEP) functionality can act on a variety of diverse, high velocity data streams, including financial market feeds, RFID signals, telecommunications network traffic, and satellite telemetry data.

Sonic
Progress® Sonic ESB™ was the industry's first enterprise service bus (ESB). Sonic ESB gives you an unstoppable SOA backbone. It doesn't require or embed an application server so it fits into your existing infrastructure. And with Sonic ESB you can configure and manage a highly distributed SOA from a single consol located anywhere on the network.

Actional
Progress® Actional® gives you the end-to-end visibility, policy-based governance and performance monitoring you need to manage your SOA and other business-critical applications in a distributed, multi-platform environment.

DataXtend
Progress® DataXtend® Semantic Integrator uses a common model to create, maintain and govern your data interoperability layer in any SOA or application architecture. The common model assures the consistent meaning of data across diverse services and data sources. New applications and services need only map to the common information model in order to communicate with the other applications in your environment. When all services are mapped to a common model, you can see how changes to any service (or event) impact all other services in your environment.

Artix
Artix (formerly from IONA Technologies) is an advanced suite of SOA infrastructure products that promise to deliver an alternative to investing in costly, proprietary and centralized infrastructure products. Artix offers a unique approach to enterprise SOA deployment and allows for the reuse of existing IT assets without additional hardware.

FUSE - Open Source SOA
FUSE components are certified releases of Apache SOA projects, and are integrated, tested and supported to combine the speed and innovation of open source software with the reliability and expertise of commercially provided enterprise services. Many key Apache committers are employed by Progress and work on the FUSE products.
