Infrastructure Software
Superior Infrastructure Software Delivers Greater Availability
The efficient delivery of information between applications, systems, business divisions, partners and customers is the keystone of operational productivity for every enterprise. Yet many enterprises are burdened by legacy systems, arcane infrastructure and proprietary software technology that can't easily share the valuable information they contain. Enterprises have struggled for years to create hybrid architectures to allow communication between all these resources, but progress has been limited, costly, and inefficient—involving rigid point-to-point integration between systems.
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) offers a solution for integrating diverse computing resources that is both cost-effective and highly efficient. When mediated by superior infrastructure software, an SOA can easily connect new applications with legacy systems, databases, and new applications to allow the free flow of information and execute complex business processes across systems and geographies, eliminating computing silos that once plagued the enterprise. For leading infrastructure software that can best support an SOA deployment, enterprises around the world have chosen Progress® Sonic ESB® from Progress Software.
Progress Sonic ESB: Infrastructure Software Built for SOA
Built from the ground up for SOA, Sonic ESB, the world's first enterprise service bus, is robust infrastructure software that simplifies the integration of large, physically distributed deployments and enables flexible reuse of business applications.
Key capabilities include:
- Secure, standards-based integration with a broad range of applications and technologies—across organizational boundaries and to remote sites
- A distributed architecture that scales to manage high-volume, high-performing, broad-scale deployments
- A fast, reliable, and fault-tolerant enterprise messaging communication backbone
- Transactional failover of service interactions—for guaranteed message delivery and zero downtime
- Reliable, asynchronous and secure interoperability using advanced Web services standards
- Intelligent routing for end-to-end control of business event flow across the distributed environment
- BPEL orchestration for the service composition and event correlation necessary to execute complex business processes
- Centralized management of distributed deployment and execution
Reduced Costs, More Agile Functionality Achieved with Progress Infrastructure Software
Sonic ESB allows enterprises to:
- Reduce the cost of new enterprise application development by refashioning existing applications into reusable services instead of developing new ones, and adopting standards-based interfaces and protocols.
- Integrate new applications faster and more cost-effectively into the existing infrastructure.
- Increase their flexibility in adapting to new business environments by removing hidden dependencies between applications, services and SOA middleware that can otherwise create brittle architectures that are difficult to change and maintain.
- Lower the risk and upfront investment in delivering services through incremental deployment.
Other Progress Software products for SOA infrastructure and integration include software and solutions for SOA management, enterprise information integration, semantic data integration and JMS enterprise messaging.
