Sonic Software delivers its ESB 7.0 release
March 29, 2006 An operating unit of Progress Software Corp., Sonic Software today announces release 7.0 of its flagship ESB line. This new software update includes a newer Eclipse-based workbench that improves and accelerates the modeling, configuration, testing and deployment of Web services projects across large-scale, distributed SOA environments. In addition, Sonic ESB 7.0 introduces an enterprise-grade implementation of the advanced Web services standards necessary for mission-critical SOA deployments. Sonic said its ESB 7.0 release will be available around May 1st, 2006. The Eclipse-based Sonic Workbench 7.0 provides an integrated SOA toolset to streamline a project lifecycle with capabilities such as process modeling, configuration, testing and debugging, and deployment.  The process-modeling tool provides a visual, drag-and-drop palette and standards-based business process notation, enabling business analysts to create process flows across distributed services and collaborate with SOA architects. The configuration tool enables SOA architects and developers to create services and implement ESB process flows across a distributed topology using point-and-click, metadata-driven configuration models, while preserving access to a drill-down, code-level view. The testing and debugging features provide the ability to develop ESB processes on the desktop and in test environments, as well as the diagnosis of problems in live, distributed deployments. Sonic announced that it is delivering the first distributed ESB Process Debugger, allowing developers to view and debug a process executing across multiple, distributed services from within the Eclipse environment. Sonic also enables visual step-through debugging of distributed processes as they execute within a live deployment, without disrupting other ongoing processes. Deployment tools help reduce the risk associated with managing change in complex SOA environments by determining the dependencies of composite applications and business processes, and analyzing the impact of promoting these processes into the production environment. "It's ironic that despite SOA's mission to break down the silos created by monolithic architectures, most SOA-enablement products are still stuck in the world of silos,” said Gordon Van Huizen, vice president of Sonic products.  “That's because they are limited to small-scale projects where everything is built by one team and runs in one place. With ESB 7.0's advanced SOA infrastructure and matching SOA toolset, Sonic is addressing the real-world challenges of SOA that users confront once they move into large-scale, widely distributed deployments.” "Sonic ESB 7.0 provides an implementation of advanced Web services standards for secure and reliable communication between services suitable for mission-critical deployments: WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Addressing, WS-Security and WS-Policy. The Sonic ESB 7.0 implementation protects complex, distributed SOA systems from communications failures by leveraging Sonic's Continuous Availability Architecture (CAA). Upon failure, Sonic ESB 7.0 ensures that Web services communications start flowing again immediately, eliminating the hours often required to recover using traditional high-availability hardware and software products. Further, Sonic ESB's unique distributed processes and Dynamic Routing Architecture(tm) (DRA), optimizes performance and simplifies maintenance of orchestrated advanced Web services across LANs and WANs. Additionally, Sonic ESB 7.0 extends its Sonic Continuous Availability Architecture for high-throughput environments. CAA Fast-Forward is the first reliable messaging technology that eliminates the bottleneck created by disk writes, offering more than an order of magnitude higher throughput than any other reliable messaging system on the market. All Sonic ESB 7.0 services, including the new advanced Web services, can fully exploit this capability.
