Enterprise service bus messaging infrastructure

WebSphere Process Server includes enterprise service bus capabilities. WebSphere Process Server supports the integration of service-oriented, message-oriented and event-driven technologies to provide a standards-based, messaging infrastructure in an integrated enterprise service bus.

The enterprise service capabilities that you can use for your enterprise applications provide not only a transport layer but mediation support to facilitate service interactions. The enterprise service bus is built around open standards and service-oriented architecture (SOA). It is based on the robust J2EE 1.4 infrastructure and associated platform services provided by IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment, version 6.0.2.

IBM WebSphere Process Server is powered by the same technology available with IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. This capability is part of the underlying functionality of WebSphere Process Server, and no additional license for WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus is required to take advantage of these capabilities. However, you can deploy additional stand-alone licenses of WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus around your enterprise to extend the connectivity reach of the process integration solutions powered by WebSphere Process Server. For example, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus can be installed closer to an SAP application to host an IBM WebSphere Adapter for SAP and to transform SAP messages before sending that information across the network to a business process choreographed by WebSphere Process Server.
