Entiva Group Analyst Report: LogicBlaze FUSE

Report Title:

"Service Oriented Architecture with LogicBlaze FUSE"

Download report here.

Date Released:

July 7th, 2006

Excerpt:

"The convergence of a set of components that fit under the SOA umbrella can be defined as a platform. All SOA implementations involve a platform in one form or another. Version 1.1 of LogicBlaze FUSE is currently available and is capable of serving as the technical underpinnings for the individual SOA infrastructure pieces that FUSE merges together. Even with the scores of SOA products available, there are very few integrated platforms offered. The general reluctance to assemble SOA platforms as a product can be partially linked to their architectural complexity."

"GlassFish is an open source application server which implements the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 specification and is being distributed under the OSI-approved Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) which allows developers to view, use, edit, and alter the code, and distribute it or use it in production.  On the other hand, Java EE is a set of coordinated technologies and practices that enable the development, deployment, and management of multi-tier, server-side applications. By leveraging the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) and its utilities, Java EE adds capabilities that provide a complete and secure Java enterprise computing platform. By also significantly reducing the cost and complexity involved with developing and deploying multi-tiered solutions, Java EE produces a unique value proposition for enterprises of all types and sizes."
