A highly available and scalable Mule ESB powered by GigaSpaces XAP

Application integration is still a major challenge for many enterprises. Many turn to service oriented architectures, and specifically to building Enterprise Service Buses (ESB), as the quickest and most cost-effective way to address this challenge. Since ESBs are increasingly being used for enterprises mission-critical applications, they are required to scale on-demand, and guarantee continuous high availability and failover.

Solution Overview

MuleSource, the leading provider of open source service oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure software, and GigaSpaces provide an integrated solution that leverages GigaSpaces' eXtreme Application Platform (XAP) technology to guarantee continuous high availability for the Mule enterprise service bus (ESB). The combination of Mule's lightweight flexible architecture and GigaSpaces scalable platform enables sub-second hot failover capabilities with no data loss or compromise in latency or throughput, and no need for any additional integration and tuning.

When to use this solution? 

•       Your messaging backbone is too slow and does not scale?

• Use GigaSpaces-Mule Scalable Transport Layer!
• This connector enables GigaSpaces XAP to plug in as a high performance transport, providing high-performance, fault-tolerant and scalable messaging implementation for Mule-based applications.

•        Looking for 100% uptime and redundancy, without sacrificing performance?

• Use Mule's highly available SEDA queues backed by GigaSapces XAP In-Memory Data Grid and clustering capability, and get an in-memory fault tolerant solution for the Mule server itself.

•        Tired of manually managing the deployment and runtime environment of your Mule application?

• Use GigaSpaces XAP SLA-Driven Deployment to achieve dynamic scaling and self-healing for your Mule-based application.

Solution Benefits

•        Existing Mule users:

• Add enterprise-grade capabilities to Mule apps with little or no code and configuration changes 

•        Existing GigaSpaces users: 

•  Utilize Mule strong points (connectivity, service decoupling, etc.) without compromising on scalability, latency and manageability
• Benefit from an extremely robust and scalable ESB and Integration Platform
• Avoid vendor lock-in due to the Mule abstraction layer
• Apply SOA paradigms to high-performance, stateful/transactional applications
