What is an Enterprise Service Bus?

An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services.

An ESB powers your SOA by reducing the number, size, and complexity of interfaces.

Shape = Protocol

Color = Data type

An ESB performs the following

between requestor and service

• CONVERTING transport

protocols between requestor

and service

• HANDLING business events

from disparate sources

• TRANSFORMING message

formats between requestor

and service

• ROUTING messages

between services
