Pierre Fricke, director, SOA product line management, Red Hat, said, "Our customers helped drive the direction of the enhancements delivered today in the newest versions of the SOA Platform and JBoss Operations Network, and with these solutions, we're excited to offer enterprises tools to effectively plan, deploy, manage and monitor open source SOA."
JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.3 offers ESB features including gatewaylisteners, a declarative security model, improved web services integration and additional scripting languages that will accelerate enterprise adoption of open source SOA by enabling simple web services integration and deployment. Version 4.3 also features stateful rules services, decision tables and rule agent support that further enable business event processing with an event-driven architecture (EDA), as well as allow non-developers to construct business rules and enable rapid deployment.
JBoss Operations Network 2.1 provides centralised management for the entire JBoss Enterprise Middleware portfolio, including inventorying, administration, deployment and updating of JBoss Enterprise Middleware products and subsystems. It also features remote platform configuration and deployment, automatic ESB service inventory discovery, monitoring metrics, patch management, and JBoss ESB service monitoring.
Built from open source projects such as JBoss ESB, JBoss jBPM and JBoss Rules, the solution offers an enterprise-ready, light-weight footprint and simple installation for low-cost operations.
JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.3 and JBoss Operations Network 2.1 are expected to be available by the end of October 2008. |
