WSO2 delivers the only complete open source enterprise SOA middleware stack purpose-built as an integrated platform to support today’s heterogeneous enterprise environments—internally and in the cloud

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) March 15, 2012

Cloud computing enables enterprises to cost effectively extend the reach of their applications and readily adapt to changing demands. However, a successful migration requires not only the ability to provide full cloud-native functionality—such as multi-tenancy, elasticity, self-provisioning and metering—but also seamless integration with on-premise systems that need to remain behind the firewall. To help IT architects, developers and managers address these demands, WSO2 will present a free webinar entitled, “Roadmap to the Clouds – How to Easily Migrate to the Cloud Platform Using WSO2 Stratos.”

The one-hour WSO2 technical webinar on cloud migration will run Wednesday, March 21, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PST. For more information, visit wso2.org/library/webinars/2012/03/quotroadmap-clouds%E2%80%9D-easily-migrate-cloud-platform-using-wso2-stratos.

The webinar will examine how the WSO2 Stratos cloud middleware platform can be deployed in various infrastructures, including public and private cloud environments, to provide facilities such as self-provisioning, multi-tenancy, elasticity and metering. The session also will cover how enterprises can use WSO2 Stratos to efficiently move service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications to the cloud while supporting many industry standards such as Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), OpenID, eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML), and the WS-* family of Web service specifications.

The webinar will be presented by Selvaratnam Uthaiyashankar (Shankar), a senior software architect who is part of the WSO2 cloud platform team. Shankar is a recognized industry expert in security and cloud deployment. Equipped with an in-depth understanding of the elements of security, he brings quality insights into the architectural aspects of securing an enterprise whether on-premise or in the cloud.

Active Endpoints, Inc. (www.active-endpoints.com), the leading provider of SOA orchestration products and services, today announced the availability of ActiveBPEL 3.0. The ActiveBPEL product family includes open source and commercial SOA orchestration solutions that are standards-compliant and platform-neutral, forming the foundation for fast, cost-effective business and systems integration. Among other important capabilities, ActiveBPEL 3.0 comprehensively supports the forthcoming WS-BPEL 2.0 standard, which will be officially published early in 2007.

ActiveBPEL 3.0 allows SOA application developers and ISVs to leverage the power of the BPEL 2.0 standard while preserving prior investments in BPEL 1.1 processes. ActiveBPEL 3.0′s pluggable architecture complements all SOA IT infrastructures and offers an independent, best-in-class solution for building, testing, deploying and managing BPEL-based applications.

“We are very pleased to see commercial support for the forthcoming WSBPEL 2.0 standard in the new versions of ActiveBPEL Designer and ActiveBPEL Enterprise,” said Derek Mathieson, Principal Architect, Workflow and e-Business Applications, CERN. “By allowing us to automatically migrate BPEL 1.1 processes to 2.0 using ActiveBPEL Designer, and by supporting seamless side-by-side execution of BPEL 1.1 and 2.0 processes in ActiveBPEL Enterprise, Active Endpoints is providing CERN all the flexibility we need to transition to the 2.0 standard on our own terms.”

Enterprise developers and systems integrators use ActiveBPEL to significantly reduce the time and complexity of implementing SOA applications, from proof of concept to deployment. A large and growing group of businesses now use ActiveBPEL in demanding environments across financial services, government, telecommunications, and other industries. ActiveBPEL is also the embedded, best-in-class BPEL solution for many leading software providers who look to Active Endpoints for competitive advantages when including BPEL in their own products.

In response to input from hundreds of customers and partners, ActiveBPEL 3.0 offers new capabilities including:

Support for all WS-BPEL 2.0 process constructs and semantics

Automatic migration of BPEL4WS 1.1 processes to the new WS-BPEL 2.0 standard, preserving users’ investments in existing 1.1 processes

Seamless, side-by-side execution of BPEL4WS 1.1 and WS-BPEL 2.0 processes, allowing phased migration to WS-BPEL 2.0

Enhanced message routing based on WS-Addressing to streamline and improve the execution of long running processes

Policy-driven message exchanges based on WS-ReliableMessaging

BPEL Sub-process execution, allowing process components to be executed within the lifecycle of their invoking processes

“The forthcoming WS-BPEL 2.0 standard represents a critical inflection point for SOA,” said Fred Holahan, Active Endpoints’ chairman and co-founder. “For the first time, organizations have a broadly adopted foundation upon which to create composite, process-driven SOA applications. In addition to comprehensively supporting the WS-BPEL 2.0 standard, ActiveBPEL 3.0 delivers the advanced capabilities our customers and partners need to power their enterprise-class SOA applications.”

The ActiveBPEL 3.0 product suite includes the following:

ActiveBPEL Engine: a commercial-grade, open source runtime environment for executing BPEL processes. The ActiveBPEL engine is the most widely used BPEL technology available today, delivering commercial-grade BPEL capabilities to the open source community.

ActiveBPEL Designer: a high-powered, Eclipse Ready™ design environment that allows information analysts to visually create and test BPEL process flows. The ActiveBPEL Designer includes many advanced features, speeding developers through the tasks of building sophisticated composite applications.

ActiveBPEL Enterprise servers: enterprise-class BPEL servers that satisfy a multitude of BPEL deployment requirements – from mobile and desktop applications to advanced departmental and enterprise-wide production environments, including:

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for Apache Tomcat

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for JBoss® Application Server

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for IBM® WebSphere® Application Server

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for BEA WebLogic® Server

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for the Microsoft® .NET Framework (available in January 2007)

ActiveBPEL Designer allows users to create and test BPEL processes, and then deploy those processes to ActiveBPEL Enterprise servers that scale from desktop to data center and meet the most rigorous performance demands.

Active Endpoints also offers BPEL Fundamentals training updated to reflect the WS-BPEL 2.0 standard. Access to extensive online and self-help BPEL and SOA-related resources is available at Active Endpoints’ web site www.active-endpoints.com.

What is XML? XML, or eXtensible Markup Language, is a specification for storing information. It is also a specification for describing the structure of that information. And while XML is a markup language (just like HTML), XML has no tags of its own. It allows the person writing the XML to create whatever tags they need. The only condition is that these newly created tags adhere to the rules of the XML specification.
