IBM Integration Bus
IBM Integration Bus is a market-leading software solution for application integration. It provides a comprehensive set of integration capabilities on an agile, secure, high-performance platform, and enables universal connectivity across enterprise systems, applications, and data.
You can use IBM Integration Bus to connect applications together, regardless of the message formats or protocols that they support. This connectivity means that your diverse applications can interact and exchange data with other applications in a flexible, dynamic, and extensible infrastructure.
IBM Integration Bus routes, transforms, and enriches messages from one location to any other location. It provides support for many operations, including routing, transforming, filtering, enriching, monitoring, distribution, collection, correlation, and detection. For example, messages can be routed from sender to recipient based on the content of the message, they can be transformed from one format to another, and they can be modified or combined, before being delivered.
IBM Integration Bus supports a wide range of protocols, including WebSphere® MQ, JMS 1.1 and 2.0, HTTP and HTTPS, web services (SOAP and REST), File, Enterprise Information Systems (including SAP and Siebel), and TCP/IP. It also supports a broad range of data formats, including binary formats (C and COBOL), XML, and industry standards (including SWIFT, EDI, and HIPAA). You can also define your own data formats.
You can choose either IBM Integration Bus for Developers (Developer Edition), which you can use without charge for development and testing purposes, or IBM Integration Bus Advanced Edition, which is suitable for a production environment. Developer Edition has all features enabled but is limited to one message (transaction) per second at the message flow level. Advanced Edition has all features enabled apart from the SalesforceRequest node.
