Fiorano Revs Up Real-Time Communications in Latest SOA Platform
02/20/2009
Fiorano Software, a provider of enterprise class business process integration and messaging infrastructure technology, released Fiorano SOA Platform 9, the latest version of its real-time business software.
ebizQ received the following:
Fiorano SOA Platform, a distributed, event-driven platform for real-time business built on a standards-based Enterprise Service Bus, provides tools to draw on existing business logic and processes (anywhere across the enterprise) for the assembly of solutions.
Fiorano SOA Platform is constructed of four components: Fiorano ESB (an event-driven middleware infrastructure platform), FioranoMQ (a grid-enabled, peer-to-peer JMS messaging platform), Fiorano Business Components and Adapters (JCA compliant components that include connectors for all popular databases) and Fiorano Process Orchestration Tools (integrated tools for orchestrating standards-based business components and business processes with minimal IT intervention). Improvements in FioranoMQ reduce data latency to between 5 and 40 milliseconds - the best latency performance for commercial JMS Servers.
Fiorano SOA's eStudio interface is based on an Eclipse development environment, enabling versatility through support of multiple programming languages. The program's dashboard item is a web-based console that lets administrators monitor the state of the infrastructure from any location on the network.
New Capabilities in Event Process Life Cycle Management (EPLCM)
Fiorano SOA Platform 9 allows users to move an event process across different labeled environments (testing, staging, QA and production) at the click of a button. The server automatically picks up pre-created profiles for each environment at deployment time.
The upgrade enables the user to specify properties for service instances in an event process for various environments, rather than creating new event processes for each environment.
In addition to EPLCM and eStudio improvements, Fiorano SOA Platform 9 adds subflows that enable users to insert an event process into another event process, easing composition of large applications. Another feature, event-interception, consists of message injection that has been added to further simplify debugging. Dynamic Validations point out development time errors, which previously would wait until compile or run-time phases.
Fiorano also has enhanced its dashboard interface with an interactive UI based on various filters adds support for deleting system and SBW (document tracking) events.
