Sonic ESB is a messaging-based enterprise service bus that simplifies the SOA and portal integration

Progress Sonic ESB

Flexible Integration and Re-use of Business Applications

Progress® Sonic ESB® is a messaging-based enterprise service bus that simplifies the integration and flexible re-use of business applications within a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Sonic ESB eliminates the rigidity and fragility of point-to-point integration with a robust, event-driven architecture that can evolve, scale and extend throughout the enterprise. Customers use Sonic ESB to reduce process cycle time, gather and disseminate information, and reliably respond to business conditions as they occur. Across wide-area networks, security domains, and organizational boundaries, Sonic ESB manages the distributed deployment and execution of independently scalable integration services. Through patent-pending Continuous Availability Architecture (CAA), only Sonic can guarantee timely and continuous delivery of mission-critical business events.

Progress Sonic ESB Product Family

Sonic ESB Product Family

Sonic ESB is the foundation of the Sonic ESB Product Family, which extends Sonic ESB with service orchestration, operational data management, and integration of third-party relational data sources, packaged applications and technologies. The Sonic ESB family of products include:

  • Sonic ESB is a messaging-based enterprise service bus that simplifies the integration and flexible re-use of business applications within a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

  • Sonic Workbench is an Eclipse-based SOA integration toolset to model, configure, test and deploy services and service orchestrations using products in the Sonic ESB Product Family.

  • Sonic BPEL Server Adds standards-based service orchestration to the intelligent routing capabilities of Sonic ESB.

  • Sonic Database Service simplifies access and re-use of relational data sources in a service-oriented architecture.

  • Sonic Deployment Manager is an installation and configuration tool that helps project teams to streamline incremental development and rollout of large-scale Sonic product deployments.

  • Sonic XML Server provides high-speed XML processing, storage, and query services for management of Sonic ESB operational data.

  • Adapters for Sonic ESB simplify the incorporation of over 200 types of internal and external IT systems into a service-oriented architecture.

  • Actional
    Sonic ESB Product Family leverages Progress® Actional® for SOA management, enhancing visibility and control across Sonic ESB and into the infrastructure it connects. Actional automatically detects service level violations and instantly traces their root-causes for visual display and counter-measures. Only Actional can provide this capability with immeasurably low overhead and the capacity to scale with the distributed architecture of the Sonic ESB.

    Customers with Sonic ESB can enhance Sonic ESB management to ensure reliable operations across their entire SOA with Actional for Sonic ESB Management. Actional integrates with Sonic and provides end-to-end business visibility across a Sonic ESB deployment and the SOA infrastructure it connects.

  • DataXtend SI
    The Sonic ESB Product Family also includes development and runtime integration with Progress® DataXtend™ Semantic Integrator (SI), which dramatically simplifies the problem of common data model lifecycle management, transformation and validation. DataXtend SI improves both development and runtime, with common eclipse tooling and the ability to deploy semantic services in ESB containers automatically. As Sonic ESB helps organizations eliminate rigid architectures of point-to-point connections, DataXtend SI solves the problem of point-to-point transformations, making it much easier to integrate data and evolve an SOA with diverse connected systems.
