Integration has always been a priority for large organizations, and always will be. Today, integration involves more than making applications work together, as most competitive organizations are looking for a way to make all of the components of their computing infrastructure interoperable. With the popularization of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) has emerged as the infrastructure for large scale SOA, providing the back plane or fabric of services that enterprises require for driving system interoperability and building new applications. IONA's Artix is an extensible ESB, delivering NOW on the promise of service-oriented integration, allowing customers to achieve system longevity and agility at a significantly lower cost.
