The term Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is widely used in the context of implementing an infrastructure for enabling a service-oriented architecture (SOA). However, real-world experience with the deployment of SOAs has shown that an ESB is only one of a number of building blocks that make up a comprehensive Service-Oriented Infrastructure (SOI). The term ESB has morphed in a number of different directions, and its definition depends on the interpretation of individual ESB and integration platform vendors and on the requirements of particular SOA initiatives.

Based on experience gathered from many successful real-world SOI implementations, ESB can be defined as a collection of architectural patterns based on traditional enterprise application integration (EAI), message-oriented middleware, Web services, .NET and Java interoperability, host system integration, and interoperability with service registries and asset repositories.

This two-day seminar will provide guidance on how to assess and implement an ESB approach to SOI for your organisation as well as a discussion on pitfalls and challenges you can expect along the way.

Avantage's own Sergio Del Piccolo will be collaborating with Microsoft's Peter Kelsey and Jim Bowyer to deliver this session.
