Sonic ESB is designed to simplify the integration and flexible re-use of business applications in the most heterogeneous enterprise IT environments. Here's a closer look at its key features:

* Open Services & Integration Standards Programming Model:
Sonic ESB supports REST and Web Services development based on a JAX*RS and JAX*WS annotated POJO model that simplifies development, process organization, and productivity while eliminating vendor lock-in with a portable code.

* Distributed Operations Management:
Sonic ESB is ideal for multi-site, high-transaction environments because you can install, upgrade, and manage it all from a central location, reducing deployment time and the costs of on-site resources.

* Integrate across security domains:
Sonic ESB spans security domains to form a federated environment in which each domain preserves autonomy to manage authentication locally.

* The Dynamic Routing Architecture? (DRA):
Sonic 8.0?s patented Dynamic Routing Architecture delivers unmatched, software-based fault-tolerance and scalability ideal for multi-site, high-transaction environments.

* The Sonic Continuous Availability Architecture (CAA): Ensures messages are never lost and always delivered in order; measures failover in seconds, not minutes; all without the need for costly RAID, OS clustering software or third-party HA frameworks.
