IONA Artix

IONA Artix is comprised of distributed, technology-neutral SOA infrastructure products that work together or independently, allowing customers unprecedented flexibility in SOA adoption. IONA Artix is based on a lightweight, microkernel architecture that provides organizations with the ability to incrementally adopt SOA on their own terms, one step at a time.

Components

Artix Architecture

• Artix ESB - deploys, manages and secures a SOA by modernizing and streamlining existing middleware investments and without requiring a centralized hub
• Artix Registry/Repository - a complete system of record of services that drives and streamlines the deployment of services into a distributed SOA network
• Artix Orchestration - facilitates the composition of fine-grained functionality into reusable services using BPEL to create business-level services
• Artix Data Services - a metadata management, data modeling, and transformation toolkit abstracts data services from the underlying infrastructure
• SOA Management provided by AmberPoint - governs and manages a SOA implementation by monitoring the health of Artix ESB endpoint
