Integration
Integrate Systems, Applications, Software and Mainframes with Ease
Getting all of your systems, applications and software to work together can seem like a challenge, particularly when they represent a mix of new and old technology. Adopting a service-oriented architecture (SOA) for integration is a great approach, providing that you select the right software for your needs. For superior integration software, you can trust Progress Sonic ESB for SOA integration and DataDirect Shadow for high-performance mainframe integration.
- Sonic ESB supports the integration and flexible reuse of information assets within an SOA. Sonic ESB makes it simpler to reconfigure a variety of new and legacy applications as modular, standards-based services that can be extended, and reused, across a distributed environment. Free of the inflexible and costly customization required by other middleware software, Sonic ESB allows you to dynamically configure the reliable connection, mediation and control of these services and their interactions. Services can more easily be upgraded, moved or scaled without disrupting other services that are running.
- DataDirect Shadow enhances the performance of mainframe integration by eliminating the complexity and within more modern SOA initiatives. Shadow streamlines connectivity to mainframe relational and non-relational databases such as Adabas, IMS DB, and VSAM. Shadow also enables high-performance integration between SOA platforms and customized business and screen logic residing in proven mainframe application environments such as CICS, IDMS, IMS TM and Natural. And, Shadow diverts almost all processing-intensive SOA integration workloads from the mainframe General Purpose Processor to unmeasured zIIP and zAAP specialty engines, significantly lowering mainframe Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
