WSO2 Expands ESB Market With Apache Synapse-Based, Open Source SOA Offering

WSO2 has entered the open source SOA field with a slate of veterans from Web services specifications, application server and lightweight framework development. The latest offering to the market came June 11 with the arrival of WSO2 ESB 1.0, based on Apache Synapse and targeted at both developers who want to use ESBs quickly, as well as operations architects seeking lightweight and high-performing components. To help evaluate the WSO2 approach, moderator Dana Gardner is joined by Ron Schmelzer, senior analyst at ZapThink, and Paul Fremantle, co-founder and vice president of technology at WSO2. Learn more about ESBs and the ways in which open source complements SOA in this 44-minute sponsored deep-dive discussion.
