Enterprise Service Bus: A Definition

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview An enterprise service bus (ESB) is a middleware solution that enables interoperability among heterogeneous environments using a service-oriented model. Although frequently associated with concepts like "integration" and "mediation," an ESB also provides a service platform comparable to an application server. In fact, ESBs represent the consolidation of the integration and application server product categories. An ESB's true breakthrough feature is its ability to virtualize services. An ESB's service container abstracts a service and insulates it from its protocols, invocation methods, method exchange patterns, quality of service requirements, and other infrastructure concerns.
