• Integrate applications or systems on premises or in the cloud

• Use out-of-the-box connectors to create SaaS integration applications

• Build and expose APIs• consume APIs• Create Web services which orchestrate calls to

other services

With Mule you can

• Create interfaces to expose applications for mobile consumption

• Integrate B2B with solutions that are secure, efficient, and quick to build and deploy

• Shift applications onto the cloud• Connect B2B e-commerce activities

• Run your integrations either in the cloud via CloudHub or on-premises via an Mule ESB standalone instance

Anypoint Platform for SOA

• ESB is a great tool allows you to quickly and easily connect applications to exchange data following the service-oriented architecture (SOA) methodology

• ESB provides for a flexible architecture. It enables multiple application communication and provides easy integration with other systems.

• There is a lot details that need to be understood first around the integration points, protocols, data formats, IT infrastructure, security etc

• Anything that connects MUST send it's information adhering to this data definition.

When to chose ESB?

• Are you integrating 3 or more applications/services?• Do you need to use more than one type of communication protocol?• Do you need message routing capabilities?• Do you need to publish services for consumption by other applications?

When to chose ESB?
