WSO2 has launched a new middleware platform to support and extend a heterogeneous service-oriented architecture (SOA).
WSO2 said that it offers a lean approach to middleware that covers the requirements of an enterprise architecture, including connectors, mediation and governance, all available as open source and in the cloud.
The company said that the lean middleware is based on re-usable components that provide common services for integration, transformation, security, governance and management.
According to WSO2, the Gadget Server and WSO2 Business Activity Monitor (WSO2 BAM) completes the enterprise middleware stack by providing dashboards and portals that give business and IT users a view into the information required.
WSO2 SOA middleware also includes Web Services Application Server, Enterprise Service Bus, Business Process Server, Mashup Server, Governance Registry and Identity Server. At the heart of WSO2’s lean software approach to enterprise middleware is WSO2 Carbon, a fully componentised SOA platform, which is based on the OSGi technology framework.
Paul Fremantle, co-founder and CTO of WSO2, said: ““Taking a service-oriented approach can bring new levels of innovation and agility to enterprise IT, but unfortunately developers often find that the complexity of heavyweight SOA middleware platforms actually slows them down.
“With our WSO2 platform, enterprise IT teams find they can quickly deliver projects using just the functionality they need, and over the long term they benefit from a clean, interoperable and effective enterprise architecture.”
