• Support for EDA, MDA, and other enterprise integration patterns
• Support for industry standards such as WS-*, REST and other binary and non-binary protocols
• In-built Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities such as security, reliable messaging, and throttling

Extend From On-premise to Cloud

• Deploy the same code in both a standalone Carbon server as well as in the WSO2 Stratos cloud platform
• Create multi-tenant aware applications via the Carbon API without worrying about underlying complexities

QoS

• Supports highly available deployments
• Horizontal scaling via clustering with stateless server architecture
• Dynamic discovery of services using WS-Discovery
• Lazy loading via ghost deployers
• Apache Zookeeper based co-ordination support

Synchronize artifacts across product clusters

• Apache Subversion (SVN) based deployment synchronizer to manage the deployment artifacts for both products and services
• Additionally supports WSO2 Governance Registry as a repository
• Large number of server artifacts can be deployed easily in one go

Manage users across any Carbon based product

• Supports authentication and role-based authorization
• Supports pluggable heterogeneous user stores such as LDAP, Active Directory, and JDBC using custom extension points

Governance Registry Integration

• Govern and monitor large-scale deployments, including clustered servers and cloud implementations
• Applied across the entire WSO2 Carbon middleware platform

Distributed Caching

• Supports the standard J-cache API
• Tested and proven in distributed environments for boosted performance

Easily Extensible and Future-Proof

• OSGi-based extensibility allows patching on the fly
• Components not in use today can be plugged in as and when IT infrastructure demands it
• Checkbox user interface where you start with a lean core and click to add the functionality you need - choosing from among more than 175 features
• Equinox P2 provisioning identifies any dependencies and ensures that all necessary components such as additional management user interfaces are included
