Artix ESB
SOA Management without a Centralized Hub
Progress® Artix® ESB is an extensible Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that deploys, manages and secures a service-oriented architecture (SOA) without requiring a centralized hub. Artix ESB uses distributed computing technology to leverage and modernize existing middleware investments, dramatically reducing the operating costs for enterprises with complex and heterogeneous IT systems.
Standards-based and distributed in nature, Artix® Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) leverages and modernizes existing middleware investments to help the Global 2000 incrementally deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) that delivers products and services to customers faster and more efficiently. Artix ESB enables:
- For incremental SOA adoption - Artix ESB creates a peer-to-peer network of smart, standards-based endpoints using existing infrastructure so enterprises can begin with low-risk, high-value SOA projects and gradually add services as needed
- Dynamic and adaptable - Artix ESB endpoints are configurable and insulated from the rest of the network so services can be extended, modified and hot deployed without disrupting the rest of the enterprise
- Technology-neutral - Artix ESB is a multi-platform and multi-protocol solution that connects diverse and lightweight endpoints without an expensive and cumbersome centralized server, and without vendor lock-in
Artix is mature and proven technology that powers robust and resilient integration infrastructures at companies such as Credit Suisse, Reuters, Raymond James & Associates, Marconi, and Deutsche Post (DHL).
