Middleware from the Dawn of Time (1990s)

bus technology• Enterprise application integration

Everything was tightly coupled

The Web Services Craze (2001 – 2003)

• CORBA’s contracted interfaces + XML’s extensible document-centricity = miraculous loose coupling!

• Gartner coined term Enterprise Service Bus– Whatever old middleware

you got with Web Services support added

• Various open source efforts– Takes time to build enterprise middleware

Standards slow to mature

The SOA Craze (2004 – 2008)

• SOA became excuse to sell middleware

• Consolidation in market drove ‘kitchen sink’ ESBs

• Commercial products bloated, poorly integrated

Open source ESBs largely a reaction to this bloatware

SOA is Dead! Long Live the Cloud!

• January 2009: Ann Thomas at Burton (now Gartner) pens SOA is Dead: Long Live Services– SOA world freaks out

• Meanwhile, the cloud takes over– Horizontal scalability– Decentralization– Expectation of failure/resilience

Bloatware ESBs not cloud-friendly Phot

Maturation of Open Source ESBs

• Cloud-friendliness now a prerequisite

• Mule, Red Hat, WSO2 taking a kitchen sink approach– Integration only a small part of

what they do– Reasonably cloud-friendly but

come with baggage• ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ remain lightweight

– Lack the scale and resilience needed for modern, enterprise-class computing Ph

ESB Core Requirements

• ESB/ Middleware must scale linearly across commodity hardware

• Interactions must be natively asynchronous for scalability and efficiency

• Can build synchronous over asynchronous but not the other way around

• Monitoring• Tracing/Logging• Presence and availability• Security• Scheduling• Dynamic Remote

Deployment• External Routing• Visual composition tools

• Single design must be able to effectively map to on-premise and cloud services in an enterprise

Scaling Asynchronous

Beyond MessagingCloud Readiness

Issues with existing Open Source Integration products

Too much coding required

No visual schema for integration flowsMore error prone

Granularity of services is not developer

friendly (multiple steps)

Learning curve is very steep

Needs competency in multiple products

Internal architecture not built on scalable

JMS

Patchy enterprise requirements

coverage

Not suited to peak-performance,

enterprise-scaling requirements

Little support for key enterprise

requirements(routing, visual composition,

deployment, security, transformation etc.)

Introducing Fiorano ESB Community Edition

Fiorano ESB will now be available to the developer community with the following components:

Open Source ESB Server

Messaging Engine eStudio

Dashboard Microservice Toolkit

An OSGi container built on top of Apache Karaf acting as both: manager & runtime for

microservices

ActiveMQ by default but also supports FioranoMQ and other JMS providers.

Orchestration Tool based on Eclipse

Built on top of Hawtio, an open source HTML5/ Angular JS web console

Open source toolkit to develop and monetize

new microservices

Fiorano ESB: Key Integration Features

Distributed, Peer-to-Peer architecture with centralized control

Single architecture scales over the cloud, enterprise or hybrid environments

JMS-centric components/adapters built as Microservices.(No need to learn Java)

Enterprise Features of Fiorano ESB

External Routing

Tracing/Logging

Presence & Availability

Monitoring & Launching

Security

Remote Deployment

Fiorano ESB features: External Routing

External Routing

Tracing/Logging



Security

Remote Deployment

Location transparency e.g. Node #1 can publish messages to its local

folders/channels Node #2 can subscribe to its local folders/channels

User-specified routing Components unaware of routing of across network. Fiorano

automatically synchronizes data between nodes based on user-specified external rules.

Components are oblivious to the fact that they are participating in a distributed application

Fiorano ESB features: Tracing & Logging

External Routing

Tracing & Logging



Security

Remote Deployment

Tracing & Logging Application/component output trace can be updated

and routed to any node for debugging Run-time updates of trace levels (e.g. verbose) Significantly easier debugging of processes and flows:

faster time to deployment

Fiorano ESB features: Presence Availability

External Routing

Tracing & Logging



Security

Remote Deployment

Presence & Availability Check for availability of components and other

resources (e.g. DB, File, SMTP, call center, accounting etc.) on any node

Fiorano ESB features: Monitoring & Launching

External Routing

Tracing & Logging



Security

Remote Deployment

Monitoring & Launching Monitor Application state Persist and Monitor Workflow state Launch, re-launch Components on any node External monitoring (integrated with SNMP-based tools

like HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, JMX tools, etc.)

Fiorano ESB features: Security

External Routing

Tracing & Logging



Security

Remote Deployment

Security (Component Level) Administrator defined attributes per Component Access Control Lists (ACL/ACE) per Tifosi daemon Security Tools to set ACLs on each daemon Daemons inherit security settings from centralized LDAP

repository Realms integration to read security attributes from pre-

defined NT and Solaris realms

Fiorano ESB features: Remote Deployment

External Routing

Tracing & Logging



Security

Remote Deployment

Remote Deployment Automatic deployment of all services over the network No manual intervention

Benefits of Fiorano Open Source ESB

Enhanced Speed & Control

•Fiorano ESB supports runtime process changes•Processes can be paused/resumed/added etc at runtime

Easy management and $$ savings

•No requirement for an external process persistence RDBMS database•Fiorano comes bundled with a commercial-quality messaging-based transaction engine

Better performance/ Re-use existing services

•Fiorano Open Source ESB comes with a Microservice Development SDK•Components/Services are treated as first-class citizens with native execution of components written in Java, C, C++, C#, etc.

Saves Time •Ability to distribute a process across multiple machines from a central location without re-engineering the process

Lower Learning Curve

•Easy to use – wizard-based setup and configuration & requires minimal skill-set for productive use•No need to learn BPMN, BPEL, etc.

Why Fiorano Open Source?

Proven Technology:Fiorano ESB has been recognized by Gartner as a visionary and is an established product, unlike other open source products that start from a community project and then become a product.

Established Support Structure:Global leaders and government institutions rely on Fiorano Support for their mission-critical business requirements.

“Our partners and clients love the speed at which we get data back to them and the near-real-time analytics it can provide. Fiorano's development team is very responsive, with changes to functionality turned around sometimes within a week, which would be unheard of with larger vendors.”
