Progress Sonic Enterprise Service Bus

Progress Sonic Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) 8.0

Version 8.0 uses standards of open-cast mining, in it the patent architecture of continuous availability is improved and the best support of implementations of small scale in addition to geographically distributed environments with high transaction loads is provided.

The main feature of Sonic ESB of version 8.0 is support of architectural approach of integration of RESTful (Representation State Transfer). RESTful web services simplify integration into portals, meshapa, mobile devices and any applications on the basis of web; these services became the important direction in architecture for many companies supporting implementations of small scale.

In addition to RESTful Web services, in Sonic 8.0 the emphasis on the open programming models based on standards, including performance improvement and simplification of development for traditional Web services and promotion of Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) as a programming model by default is placed. Sonic ESB 8.0 uses also open technologies for support of the simplified integration templates in bezbrokerny implementations. The similar open model of development not only allows clients to avoid tough affection for a certain supplier, but also gives them access to a broad spectrum of developments, reducing the needs for training and increasing performance of developers.

Patented within the Architecture of Continuous Availability Sonic ESB platform (Continuous Availability Architecture) in the version of Sonic 8.0 it was considerably improved and allows to set new versions and patches without need to stop a system in the conditions of strongly distributed environment and to do all this of the central office. These improvements provide the highest levels of fault tolerance and continuous availability in the industry, eliminating even in the most difficult distributed environments need for the planned shutdowns – the major condition in scenarios 24/7. The possibility of installation and management from the central office in real distributed environments reduces costs, accelerates test stages and quality assurances, and reduces the probability of territorial discrepancies. It is the only infrastructure of transmission of messages in the industry which time spent in functioning state makes 100%.

Many most exacting enterprises and the government organizations around the world rely on the product Sonic ESB as a basis for corporate integration or implementation of SOA, including: American Red Cross, AutoTrader, Bank of America, BAA Heathrow, City of Washington, D.C., The Gillette Company, ProFlowers, Rotech Healthcare, Telecom Italia and Tarrant County, TX. British Airways (BA) announced use of a packet of the products Progress, including Sonic ESB, as a basic element of the program of transportations for updating of the IT-systems. This process will continue until the end of 2014 and more than 600 different electronic systems and the processes connected with movement of passengers of British Airways by air will make a revolution in the industry of air transport thanks to integration.
