New Sonic ESB Release Expands Functionality with Improved SOA Management and Enhanced BPEL Instrumentation

Implementing a Successful Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Pilot Program

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides the framework to re-architect IT infrastructure, eliminate redundancy and accelerate project delivery. Many organizations struggle to identify, implement and build on their first SOA forays.

Time to balance WS-* and REST

REST is particularly suitable for very large networks with huge numbers of clients and servers and where it is convenient to model all operations as reads and writes directed to individual URIs. As for WS-*, its sweet spot lies in systems bigger than those that use distributed objects, and whose networks are further flung, slower, less reliable, and possibly divided between different administrative domains.


Progress® Sonic ESB® Product Family

The Progress® Sonic ESB® Product Family comprises Sonic ESB and a comprehensive set of compatible products that simplify application integration using a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

Together they extend Sonic ESB—robust infrastructure software that integrates large, physically distributed deployments—with complex standards-based service orchestration, operational data management, partner collaboration, and integration of third-party relational data sources, packaged applications and technologies.

Unlike traditional EAI technologies, the Sonic ESB Product Family is modular and service-oriented, allowing you to dynamically deploy just the functionality you need, where and when you need it. Built from the ground up for SOA, it is a cohesive, standards-based solution to the challenge of broad-scale business integration.
