Fiorano SOA 2006 Platform Released
New platform adds advanced features and tools enabling enterprises to achieve the quickest path to a service-oriented architecture
LOS GATOS, CA, November 02, 2005 -- Fiorano Software, Inc., a leading provider of business process integration and enterprise messaging solutions, today announced the general availability (GA) of its next generation SOA platform -- Fiorano SOA 2006(TM). Built on Fiorano’s leading Enterprise Service Bus, Fiorano ESB(TM), the SOA 2006 platform incorporates several advanced features including peer-to-peer messaging, distributed BPEL-compliant business process management, and visual tools, together with a powerful model for coarse-grained business services.
Fiorano SOA 2006 is the industry’s first platform that supports both services and events on a single technology base with a shared component model and common tools for design, development, deployment, security and administration. Advanced features include:
Composite Components: Business components can now be aggregated into larger reusable components (controlled using industry-standard BPEL), which run in a single operating system process. This results in significant performance advantages when multiple lightweight business components need to be executed on a single peer as part of a distributed event process.
New Standards Embraced (BPEL/JCA/WS/J2EE/JMX): Support for BPEL-based process composition, JCA, and Web-service-based process configuration and component invocation and JMX based management.
Peer-to-Peer JMS Enhancements: Improved throughput of JMS messages within and across peer networks. This enables seamless ports of existing JMS applications to reusable ESB components.
Enhanced Simple/Distributed Transaction Handling: Support for simple and distributed transactions across multiple components within a single Composite Component.
Business Component Development Kit (BCDK): A combination of Java libraries (implementing standard JMS, JCA, and JMX interfaces) and an ant-based compilation framework for implementation and deployment of new Business Components.BCDK can also be integrated with Eclipse IDE.
Shared Resource Pools: Support for resource sharing across multiple instances of components running within a composite component. This enables sharing of expensive/heavy-weight resources (like DB connection) across multiple coordinating components.
