Oracle Launches Oracle SOA Suite 11g
As part of today’s Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g launch, Oracle announced the general availability of Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Suite 11g, which helps customers and partners to lower costs, improve efficiencies and increase visibility into their businesses and operations.
Oracle SOA Suite 11g includes the industry’s first native Service Component Architecture (SCA)-based SOA platform and designer, which enhances developer productivity via rapid assembly of new composite applications and unified deployment, execution, and management; simplifying application development.
Oracle SOA Suite 11g delivers an integrated and hot-pluggable SOA platform that enables next-generation business applications by simplifying service access, integration, orchestration, Complex Event Processing (CEP), monitoring and management. New capabilities include Native SCA Designer, integration of Event Driven Network, Multi-Dimensional Business Process Management, centralized governance and security policies, and cross-application, end-to-end instance tracking.
Additional features include a Native SCA Designer, which helps improve developer productivity through drag-and-drop features and fosters collaboration between business analysts and IT developers with a composite application blueprint. Integration of Event Driven Network and Services Capabilities enables simple development of event-based applications with rich graphical tooling on top of underlying asynchronous messaging protocols.
Oracle also added Unified Business Process Management, which supports unified human, system and document-centric processes. The solution also includes an integrated business rules engine with business-friendly, decision table-like design interface makes it easy to express and modify rules on business processes.
Oracle SOA Suite 11g also incorporates Complex Event Processing and Business Activity Monitoring, designed to deliver real-time business visibility via monitoring, filtering, correlation and analysis of business events across the enterprise.
Oracle SOA Suite 11g is certified with, and provides the leading adapters for, Oracle applications (Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle’s Siebel CRM, Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise, Oracle’s JD Edwards Enterprise One) and is the preferred solution for integrating with both Oracle and non-Oracle applications.
“With the rapid adoption of SOA, businesses today are ready to build agile, intelligent and adaptable processes and composite applications based on services,” said Amlan Debnath, senior vice president, Oracle Server Technologies. “With Oracle SOA Suite 11g, organizations benefit from the most complete, integrated and hot-pluggable platform on the market to drive the maximum business value out of existing investments by simplifying and unifying SOA development and management.”
