Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced that it has added Red Hat JBoss Fuse and Red
Hat JBoss A-MQ to its enterprise middleware portfolio. The products are
based on technologies acquired from FuseSource in Sept. 2012 and are
designed to enhance Red Hat’s enterprise integration and messaging
capabilities.
Integration plays a significant role in driving middleware technology
adoption and is expected to continue to be front and center as external
forces like mobile technology, social media and cloud infrastructure
require integrated enterprise systems for improved efficiency and
growth. Enterprises wrestling to overcome inefficiencies caused by
islands of information—and the negative impact on customer service—can
benefit from the advanced integration and messaging capabilities of Red
Hat JBoss Fuse and Red Hat JBoss A-MQ.
Red Hat JBoss Fuse is a flexible open source Enterprise Service Bus
(ESB) based on popular Apache projects such as Camel, a versatile
enterprise integration pattern framework, which enable faster
time-to-solution integration implementations. Red Hat JBoss A-MQ is
based largely on the Apache ActiveMQ project and provides a
standards-based, high-performance messaging platform.
The addition of both products broadens Red Hat’s integration technology
portfolio with proven and popular integration and messaging platforms
and advances Red Hat’s vision for creating and empowering intelligent,
integrated enterprises. New features shared by both products include:
-
Improved Developer Tooling: Fuse IDE and JBoss Developer Studio
provide an intuitive, easy to use, drag-and-drop integration
development environment.
-
Lightweight Architecture: Apache Karaf provides a lightweight
container for application and component deployment.
-
Operational Efficiency: Fuse Fabric provides a centralized
console for managing distributed containers, while JBoss Operations
Network extends additional management and monitoring capabilities for
Red Hat JBoss Middleware tools installed across the network.
Integration and messaging projects drive services and additional
software value-add products for Red Hat’s network of systems integrator
(SI) and independent software vendor (ISV) partners. By bolstering its
product line in these areas, Red Hat further equips its partners to
capture larger deals backed by a comprehensive portfolio of
budget-friendly projects and services, and ultimately help businesses
move closer to becoming intelligent, integrated enterprises.
Red Hat JBoss Middleware meets the broad range of development,
deployment and integration requirements across on-premises, cloud and
hybrid environments, providing cost-effective and open alternatives to
more expensive, heavy-weight proprietary products.
Availability
Beta versions of Red Hat JBoss Fuse and Red Hat JBoss A-MQ are available
today. Both products are scheduled for general availability in April.
Supporting Quotes
Craig Muzilla, vice president and general manager, Middleware, Red Hat
“These technologies, and the dedicated communities behind them, bring to
the table capabilities that we believe will define the future of
enterprise integration and messaging. They are open, flexible,
high-performing, lightweight and fully capable in cloud, on premise or
hybrid computing environments. Introducing these products as part of the
Red Hat JBoss Middleware family gives enterprises a way to use Camel and
Active MQ with confidence and represents a significant and symbolic step
toward realizing our vision of empowering customers to become
intelligent, integrated enterprises.”
Stephen D. Hendrick, group vice president for application development
and deployment research, IDC
“Middleware platforms are continually evolving to meet application
needs. Especially important today is support for real-time messaging and
integration as application development turns more social and mobile.
Adding and assimilating messaging and integration capabilities in a
middleware stack, like Red Hat is doing, allows customers to quickly and
cost effectively integrate applications, data, and devices across the
entire enterprise. Products like JBoss Fuse and JBoss A-MQ, that have
open source roots, can be especially appealing to ecosystem partners
because of the combined product support and licensing flexibility that
is characteristic of open source derived products."
Joe Dickman, senior vice president, Vizuri
“These technologies deliver an enormous competitive edge for our clients
by empowering them to integrate various systems more quickly and
efficiently in a standard and compliant manner. We see high interest for
mission-critical lightweight integration and messaging technologies,
especially for Camel. These technologies are increasingly coming up as a
top priority during client conversations. From a partner perspective,
Red Hat is creating opportunities for us and our clients to deliver
innovation and business value with these products.”
