Sonic ESB 5.5 now with CAA

Sonic Software, which coined the term Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), has released Sonic ESB 5.5. The major new feature of the new release is Continuous Availability Architecture (CAA). This is intended to reduce the time required for the communications infrastructure of the ESB to resume operations after hardware, software or network failures, and to ensure that transactions are not lost or rolled back.

Key capabilities include hot failover to ensure the integrity of in-process transactions; and an ‘out-of-the-box’ software-based configuration, eliminating the need to configure and deploy specialised hardware.
