WSO2 Carbon is a modular middleware framework that allows users to assemble only the necessary SOA functionality needed for their applications. It separates key SOA capabilities like messaging, security, and data services into independent components that can be customized. This level of componentization provides more flexibility than traditional middleware and allows users to scale their SOA implementation at their own pace as requirements change over time.

Making Good SOA Great The WSO2 story of componentization User experience improves tremendously when products evolve from a one-size-fits-all approach to a customizable solution. Customizing sophisticated products requires wisely factoring the core components. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has brought the benefits of componentization to enterprise IT, and now WSO2 is extending these end-user benefits significantly with WSO2 Carbon. The new WSO2 Carbon framework represents a seismic shift in the middleware market, allowing the middleware to adapt to your enterprise, rather than adapting your enterprise to the middleware. The open source SOA company

More recently, individual needs. major innovations in user experiences have come Let's take a look at how from sites like Facebook, Service Oriented Architecture which allow users to (SOA) is bringing the benefits combine simple applications of componentization to to build personalized pages. enterprise IT.
3 Componentization is already bringing cost savings and more productive customer experience to enterprise IT, as demonstrated by the increased popularity of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Traditionally, individual applications use their own separate data stores in order to carry out application functionality. This results in “silos” of information within an enterprise architecture. SOA breaks down these silos. Application functions, or business processes, can be defined and created as Web services. New applications can be easily assembled from these services.
4 Are You Adapting Your Architecture to the Products...? Countless vendors, including proprietary middleware industry giants like IBM and Oracle, and open source platform companies like WSO2, have built products that enable SOA to varying extents. But no middleware product has taken a componentized approach to their own middleware quot;silosquot;. The features and functions of each middleware product have been predetermined by the vendor's software designers, not built to each individual customer's specification. ...Or are the Products Adapting to Your Architecture? In the past, enterprise architects have had to adapt middleware products to the existing architecture to overcome integration and consistency challenges. With Carbon, WSO2 has sought to remove this burden, and allow the end user to select the exact features and functions they need in their SOA middleware. Let's look at why WSO2 Carbon was developed, and what makes it so unique.
5 The Need for Modular Middleware So why modular middleware? What's missing from all the SOA middleware already available? A successful SOA project may expand in scope, or become a model for new projects. This might not present a challenge if the new project requirements fall within the existing product functionality. But if your needs go beyond the scope of the existing product's capabilities, your project is slowed by the need to find, evaluate, purchase and install a new product.
6 An Example: Implementing New Product Functionality the Old Way Let's take a common use case. You need to access data in an existing MySQL database for a new Web application. So, you simply download WSO2 Data Services solution, and within minutes you've created and deployed a new data service. But what happens when you want to integrate this service with existing systems using a different XML format? You could download the WSO2 ESB to transform the message formats or use an existing ESB, but that involves learning and configuring a new product or switching between different user interfaces, and managing both systems. Until now, spending a significant amount of time to implement new product functionality was just part of any developer's job.
7 Enter WSO2 Carbon Carbon is a framework that allows you to choose the functionality you need, so your SOA deployment can grow at Admin the pace you require. It is built on top UI of a core SOA and Web Services engine, with pluggable modules that Mgmt Stats encapsulate major functionality such Bundle as data services, business process Mgmt management, ESB routing/transformation, rules, security, Clustering Transport throttling, caching, logging and monitoring. Security With Carbon, you can assemble these components into composite applications that serve your precise SOA requirements, without having to aggregate a suite of applications yourself.

9 Carbon: How Componentization Benefits Your SOA The design of Carbon separates key functionality of an SOA platform into independent, pluggable components. Users can simply assemble the middleware functionality needed to build and manage their specific SOA application. Here's a look at some of the benefits: Core SOA functionality: mechanisms for providing and consuming services, message mediation, service orchestration, service governance and and business process management. Carbon is packaged with many Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities such as security, clustering and scalability. Carbon is extensible, making your SOA implementation much more agile. How? The entire suite of WSO2 products are now quot;hot-pluggablequot;, and because it's based on OSGi – the dynamic module system for Java – it allows patching on the fly. Carbon is future-proof, as components that you aren't using now can be plugged in whenever your IT infrastructure demands it.
10 Easy configuration via a rich Web-based graphical management console that allows the administration of the system remotely. Loose coupling ensures implicit dependencies and highlights explicit dependencies. Minimizes the complexity inherent in enterprise deployments. Clear interfacing for component configuration. Facilitates the configuration and management of the system infrastructure by monitoring flow, message tracing and other statistics.

Security A process flow could accomplish this, but with traditional middleware, this would require 3 separate products - data services, ESB, and process manager. By using WSO2 Carbon, you can quickly assemble a middleware solution customized to this application instead of integrating three products from a traditional middleware suite.
12 Set the Pace of Your SOA Adoption A big bang approach is often disruptive and risks failure. If you're moving towards SOA, Carbon grows as quickly – or as slowly – as you require. Database Administrators Front-end Designers WSO2 Carbon lets you start with Data WSO2 Carbon allows you to start by creating Services, and then add transformation simple mashups and Web gadgets and then functionality if and when it's required. expand into building the processes that power them. Enterprise Architects CIOs/ CTOs Instead of forcing a single central ESB that WSO2 Carbon is a single platform that covers mixes up low-level routing and management the entire SOA space, from creating and with transformation and business processes, connecting services, or composing services WSO2 Carbon lets you put the right function into new business processes, to in the right place. With this flexibility comes comprehensive SOA governance. WSO2 the central governance and management to Carbon is highly interoperable, which means ensure success. that it can work with legacy systems and enhance your existing investments.
