Entiva Group Analyst Report: LogicBlaze FUSE
Entiva Group Analyst Report: LogicBlaze FUSE
Report Title:
"Service Oriented Architecture with LogicBlaze FUSE"
Download report here.
Date Released:
July 7th, 2006
Excerpt:
"The convergence of a set of components that fit under the SOA umbrella can be defined as a platform. All SOA implementations involve a platform in one form or another. Version 1.1 of LogicBlaze FUSE is currently available and is capable of serving as the technical underpinnings for the individual SOA infrastructure pieces that FUSE merges together. Even with the scores of SOA products available, there are very few integrated platforms offered. The general reluctance to assemble SOA platforms as a product can be partially linked to their architectural complexity."
