Iona Technologies enhanced its flagship enterprise service bus (ESB) by adding support for mainframe systems and integration with the popular Eclipse development platform.
Designed to help enterprises exchange and integrate data written in disparate languages, Artix 3.0 helps facilitate Web services messages across service-oriented architectures (SOA).
While previous ESBs limit integration points to limited transports and payloads, Artix 3.0 extends endpoints within systems with custom plug-ins. It also supports more protocols, data models, security standards and development platforms than ever, said Iona CTO Eric Newcomer.
