Combining these functions with its monitoring and administration capability, ALSB provides a unified software product for implementing and deploying your Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).
ALSB is a configuration-based, policy-driven Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). From the ALSB Console, you can monitor your services, servers, and operational tasks. Using the Web-based ALSB Console or the Eclipse-based ALSB Plug-in for WorkSpace Studio, you configure proxy and business services, set up security, manage resources, and capture data for tracking or regulatory auditing. ALSB enables you to respond rapidly and effectively to changes in your service-oriented environment.
