WSO2 Carbon

The 100% open source and standards-based WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform enables developers to rapidly orchestrate business processes, compose applications and develop services using WSO2 Carbon Studio and a broad range of business and technical services that integrate with legacy, packaged and SaaS applications.

The lean, complete, OSGi-based WSO2 Carbon platform includes more than 175 components – OSGi bundles or Carbon features – that deliver messaging, data, business, presentation, identity, security, governance, monitoring and management services. Carbon features are packaged as WSO2 products, and a combination of products address common WSO2 Solution Patterns.

The WSO2 Carbon core framework functions as “Eclipse for servers” and includes common capabilities shared by all WSO2 components, including a built-in registry, OSGi bundle, service and user management, transports, security, logging, clustering, caching and throttling services, and a GUI console.

Our leanness also leads to our second most important customer benefit; our cost. Not only in terms of acquisition but also the time to get going is much quicker. Users agree that its easy to configure and extend. This leads to lower overall costs as well as higher ROI.

Features

  • Core SOA functionality

    • Mechanisms for providing and consuming services, message mediation, service orchestration, service governance, business process management and service monitoring.

  • Enterprise Middleware

    • Support for EDA, MDA, and other EIP as well as support for industry standards such as WS-*, REST and other binary and non-binary protocols.

  • QoS

    • Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities such as security, reliable messaging, and throttling to meet enterprise application expectations.

  • Enterprise Deployments

    • Enterprise ready for large deployments with clustering, high availability and scalability built in.

  • Component Manager

    • Checkbox user interface where IT professionals start with a lean core and can click to add the functionality they want to their WSO2 middleware products—choosing from among more than 150 features. Equinox P2 provisioning identifies any dependencies and ensures that all necessary components such as additional management user interfaces are included. The browser-based UI console eliminates the need to access the file system or advanced installers, allowing the Carbon Component Manager to support both server-based and cloud deployments.

  • Extensible and Future-Proof

    • OSGi-based extensibility allows patching on the fly. It also makes it future-proof, as components not in use today can be plugged in when your IT infrastructure demands it.

  • Easy Configuration

    • Easy configuration via a rich Web-based graphical management console allows remote administration of the system. Loose coupling ensures implicit dependencies and highlights explicit dependencies. Clear interfacing for component configuration. Configuration and management of the system infrastructure facilitated by monitoring message flows, message tracing and other statistics.

  • WS-Discovery

    • Allows WSO2 Carbon to automatically discover nearby service endpoints, freeing IT professionals from much of the rewiring work typically required when deploying a new set of services or moving existing ones. This significantly facilitates the ability to move deployments between different servers, private clouds, or public clouds.

  • Enhanced Governance Registry Integration

    • Applied across the entire WSO2 Carbon middleware platform which increases the ability to govern and monitor large-scale deployments, including clustered servers and cloud implementations.
