Middleware technology updates extend and simplify enterprise
integration capabilities
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the availability of Red
Hat JBoss Fuse 6.1 and Red
Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.1, its standards-based integration and messaging
products. The technologies extend and simplify integration to all facets
of the enterprise, including on-premise, hybrid and cloud-based
environments. The technologies ease the development and maintenance of
integration solutions and provide a vast array of connectivity options.
Rising pressure from the nexus of forces - mobile devices, cloud
services, social technologies, and big data - continue to expand the
strategic importance of integration in the enterprise. As the Internet-of-Things
moves into the mainstream, IT environments will become even more
distributed and diverse. JBoss Fuse and JBoss A-MQ are well-suited to
help organizations overcome the integration challenges that arise out of
these forces and be more competitive in this new world.
JBoss Fuse is a small-footprint, flexible, open source enterprise
service bus (ESB) that is based on Apache
Camel, an implementation of the most commonly used enterprise
integration patterns (EIP). JBoss A-MQ is a high performance open
source messaging platform based on Apache
ActiveMQ. Its small footprint and support of standards such as MQTT
and AMQP
make it possible for organizations to reliably connect systems and
devices across the Internet and enable the integrated
Internet-of-Things. The lightweight nature of both products allows
organizations to unlock the value of existing assets.
Highlights in JBoss Fuse 6.1 and JBoss A-MQ 6.1 include:
-
Full support of AMQP 1.0 - AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing
Protocol) is a standard that supports wire-level compatibility,
meaning that messaging servers and clients from different vendors can
connect. This removes one of the last barriers to universal
connectivity, enabling the integrated Internet-of-Things.
-
Vast library of connectors - Through the drag-and-drop
implementation of the de facto standard EIP in Apache Camel, JBoss
Fuse now includes more than 150 out-of-the-box connectors, including
ones for enterprise systems such as SAP, software services such as
salesforce.com, and social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
-
Ability to manage integration processes - The updated
management console makes it possible to not only provision and manage
message brokers, but to control and manage individual integration
processes. Users can start, stop, measure, and trace integration
services. The console unifies management across both JBoss Fuse and
JBoss A-MQ, and deployments on-premise and in the cloud.
-
Improved high availability - An improved message store for
brokers, currently available in developer preview, provides
shared-nothing high availability, avoiding the need for shared storage.
Red Hat JBoss xPaaS services for OpenShift
As part of its vision to establish a unified platform that encompasses
the development and management of end-to-end applications that span the
web, process orchestration and integration, Red Hat released JBoss
Fuse 6.1 on OpenShift as a developer preview. The preview allows
users to explore the messaging and integration capabilities of Apache
ActiveMQ and Apache Camel running in a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
environment. Using JBoss Fuse on OpenShift, Red Hat's award-winning PaaS
offering, developers can create connections to, in, and with cloud and
on-premise applications. They can run integration in the cloud, allowing
for message queueing, transformation, and routing, which are many of the
same capabilities provided by integration PaaS (iPaaS) offerings.
"Integration can be a daunting task for organizations with IT assets
spread across on-premise, hybrid, or cloud-based environments," said
Mike Piech, general manager, Middleware, Red Hat. "Our goal is to
simplify integration and provide consistent, reliable, and highly
interoperable connections to all facets of the enterprise, and in doing
so, unlock the value of existing assets and enable faster innovation."
