Middleware White Papers

JEMS: The Open Source Platform for SOA

Overview The term "Service-Oriented Architecture" (SOA) has been described in various ways throughout the IT industry. Since 2001, however, widely acknowledged standards such as Java EE and web services have enabled a new level of interoperability and SOAs. While many vendors have announced SOA initiatives and platforms, most implementations are dependent upon expensive, closed source platforms. And while there are a range of open source projects focused on the "Piece parts" of SOA, nothing exists to ensure these parts interoperate within a cohesive whole. Red Hat directly addresses these issues with the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite (JEMS), the open source platform for SOA. The JBoss Professional Open Source model presents JEMS as an affordable, developer-friendly, and cohesive SOA foundation.
