IONA Expands Its Distributed SOA Offerings

Open source ESB from lowers cost of entry for SOA adoption

Jan. 14, 2007 02:45 PM

IONA Technologies has announced the availability of Celtix Enterprise, the company’s open source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Celtix Enterprise provides enterprise-class ESB capabilities, backed by IONA’s services organization. This combination of technology and corresponding consulting, training and support delivers the core foundation required by companies that wish to deploy SOA based on open source technologies.

The release of IONA’s Celtix Enterprise builds on the company’s established strategy of offering Global 2000 customers a comprehensive set of distributed SOA infrastructure solutions that can be deployed incrementally to help companies streamline and modernize their IT systems while generating greater ROI and lowering the fixed cost of IT operations. At its core, Celtix Enterprise utilizes a lightweight, pluggable service engine that enables customers to deploy the base functionality necessary to achieve a project’s goal, and to add new capabilities as business and technology requirements evolve. Recognizing that many customer sites will not have adopted open source in 100% of their enterprise, Celtix Enterprise is compatible with several company-developed SOA technologies, including those in IONA’s Artix product family, such as the Artix ESB and Artix Orchestration.

With Celtix Enterprise, IONA has brought together existing and emerging SOA standards along with widely deployed community-developed software and new SOA innovation. Celtix functionality is derived from several key open source SOA infrastructure projects that have been tested and certified by IONA for compatibility and interoperability, and integrated to deliver critical ESB functionality.
