36 Insights to Success

In today’s competitive scenario, access to information is critical and requires systems to communicate between one another, within companies and with external partners.

Much of this data is vital to the organisation and must be delivered in a cost-efficiente way and at the right time. A slow delivery may result result in process disruption and poor service quality.

This practical ebook shows why you should embrace Red Hat® JBoss Fuse, as your company’s service-oriented middleware solution for integration, messaging and service management requirements.

Using JBoss Enterprise Middleware has greatly improved our work. By vastly improving the speed of data integration, customer information is now shared in real time. This shared knowledge allows us to offer a better quality of response to our customers.

As the business grows and new opportunities arise, additional dedicated software systems are introduced to support the business and, therefore, the need for information exchange increases.

Due to this increasing complexity, more and more connections between systems are required, which leads to a heterogeneous, unmanageable and uncontrolled web of strong dependencies. This imposes a huge change and maintenance effort, with significant impacts and cost repercussions.

Reality is not always simple.

Is your company ready to manage a Service Oriented Architecture in the Real World?

If you already have several dispersed systems within your organisation, then this is for you!





Red Hat® JBoss Fuse is a lightweight and modular platform for developing Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions, on-premise or in the cloud.

It combines several open source technologies in a single consolidated distribution, providing a broad range of integration capabilities, frameworks and connectors that ease and accelerate service development.

With Red Hat® JBoss Fuse’s small footprint and container based foundation, you’ll benefit from its flexibility, reduced maintenance effort and cost saving advantages of an efficient resource and lifecycle management of your solutions.

Why JBoss Fuse?





Build powerful integrations using Red Hat® JBoss Fuse integrated components:

With Apache Camel, you can compose applications using Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs).

Apache CXF provides a web-services framework for integrating with SOAP, XML/HTTP and RESTful HTTP.

Apache ActiveMQ ensures messaging exchange and communication capabilities.

SwitchYard provides an integration framework for structured development under service-oriented principles.

Apache Karaf and Fabric8 offers a clustered container runtime environment to deploy and run your applications.

1Unify Information


When implementing a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) companies structure and leverage the information to a new level. With SOA you have more business value, become more adaptable to changes and promote evolution and innovation in your company.

Implementing SOA is a lot like playing with building blocks. Your IT system and data infrastructure gradually turn into a set of normalised, granular services that you then can consume, compose and model to suit your business demands.

Red Hat® JBoss Fuse drives your SOA implementation strategy effectively by unifying and providing normalised access to information from any system across the entire company.

Normalize with SOA





Red Hat® JBoss Fuse provides an Integration Platform to easily create modular and reusable business services that are flexible and easy to maintain. This approach lets you manage a centralised and unified service layer across the enterprise – Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) – which can be built to respond to business needs effectively. The use of Apache Camel components lets you benefit from a multitude of transport protocols and message formats in your integrations. An additional set of more than 150 available connectors provide built-in connectivity to almost every application used in the market, contributing to a rapid development and increased quality of your solutions.

Integrate Everything




2React Fast,Implement Faster


Red Hat® JBoss Fuse enables your company to react faster to the market changes with little to no impact on the current systems.

It has a set of visual and easy to understand application development and management tools with a small learning curve, enabling quicker and easier development and maintenance tasks.

The available variety of reusable components and connectors is a great productivity booster since you can easily define customised mappings between existent services and new ways to serve them.

Structured Development





Implementing integrations with Red Hat® JBoss Fuse allows your company to embrace innovation and create the foundations to support a successful enterprise-wide Digital Transformation initiative.

By having a well-established service-oriented architecture, you can open the doors to new and efficient ways to execute your operations, like providing new and differentiating services and channels to customers, self-servicing your business and optimising your internal processes.

Embrace innovation and create the foundations to support a successful enterprise-wide Digital Transformation initiative.

Platform for Change




3API Ready


Red Hat® JBoss Fuse enables your company to access all of your services, using any device. That can be achieved by exposing services through APIs, relying on a cloud-based infrastructure to achieve high availability configurations.

In a mobile scenario, it leads to the adoption of a Mobile Backend-as-a-Service (MBaaS) methodology, in which you expose your services as RESTful APIs to be called by any mobile device leveraging JBoss Fuse cloud-ready architecture. Under these availability and scalability configuration requirements, you have all you need to incorporate an omnichannel service model to your business.

Provide real value to internal and external customers and partners by managing your APIs under the Red Hat® 3scale API Management Platform, which makes it easy for you to control, secure, analyse and monetize your APIs as well to create new innovative products and revenue streams.

Internet of Things (IoT)





With Red Hat® JBoss Fuse you can leverage your legacy systems with the use of APIs, combined with any of the different available connectors and predefined endpoints, to get the most functionality out of your core business.

Leverage your legacy systems with the use of APIs.

Empower Legacy Systems
