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.

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.

A modular framework allows my team to configure the runtime with only the components I want for the application I’m building. If I need a hammer, I configure a hammer; if I need a sledgehammer, I configure a sledgehammer.” – Jeffrey S. Hammond, Senior Analyst, Forrester

The WSO2 Carbon platform consists of a full suite of products:

WSO2 Carbon is now in use at more than 100 Fortune 1000 enterprises and scales to handle over 1 Billion messages a day at eBay.
