TIBCO

Enterprise Service Bus

An enterprise service bus (ESB) can mean different things to different people. Its purpose is to connect consumers to services as a foundation for integration and a service-oriented architecture (SOA). At a minimum, some people view an ESB as a standards-based communication layer that enables services to be used across multiple communication protocols and data formats. Other people would include orchestration, adapters, management, and governance capabilities as part of their definition.

The most important definition is yours. TIBCO ActiveMatrix™ lets you assemble your own ESB based on your requirements, whether you just need communication or a lot more. You can start with TIBCO ActiveMatrix™ Service Bus, TIBCO's lightweight ESB that enables you to rapidly on-ramp hundreds of services and implement transformations, content, and context-based routing. Then you can selectively add other ActiveMatrix components as you need them, at any time:

What that means is ActiveMatrix can support your needs as you grow your ESB deployment. All ActiveMatrix products run on the same open and extensible TIBCO ActiveMatrix™ Foundation. They all share a common runtime as well as common tooling for development, deployment, and management, with built-in governance capabilities. This runtime and tooling allows you to add third-party technologies and tools, ensuring you are not tied to any one vendor’s environment. And ActiveMatrix leverages TIBCO's Information Bus® architecture, delivering extreme performance, scalability, reliability, and security on a grid-based architecture.

Benefits of the TIBCO ESB Solution

  • Lowers the cost of connectivity in a heterogeneous environment, providing support for both leading open standards and the breadth of existing communications protocols, applications, and technologies deployed today in IT.
  • Increases productivity in development and operations, replacing custom coding and manual administration with an integrated services environment (ISE) that provides a graphical, process-centric approach to service creation, assembly, testing, deployment, and management across Java, .NET, and other technologies. This increased flexibility and productivity enhances responsiveness to changing business needs and shortens time to market developing and deploying new functionality.
  • Open and extensible foundation that enables you to selectively add Java, .NET, orchestration, and integration as you need it as part of a single grid-based runtime and ISE.
  • Built-in governance that supports lifecycle governance from development through to operations, with out-of-the-box service and policy management that you can turn on without having to change your existing applications.
  • Proven performance, scalability, reliability, and security for demanding mission critical systems. Thousands of customers worldwide have built their service infrastructure on TIBCO and supported thousands of messages per second with 99.999% uptime.
