Enterprise Service Bus - Ambiguous Use of The Term ESB in Commerce

Ambiguous Use of The Term ESB in Commerce

There is no commonly accepted definition of the term ESB. Most modern providers of Message-oriented middleware have adopted the ESB concept as de facto standard for SOA. Today's implementations of ESB use event-driven and standards-based Message-oriented middleware in combination with message queues as technology frameworks. Unfortunately confusion is occasionally caused by software manufacturers who relabel their existing middleware and communication solutions as ESB without adopting the crucial spirit of a bus concept.

Famous quotes containing the words ambiguous, term and/or commerce:

    The whole of natural theology ... resolves itself into one simple, though somewhat ambiguous proposition, That the cause or causes of order in the universe probably bear some remote analogy to human intelligence.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    I am a colored woman or a Negro woman. Either one is OK. People dislike those words now. Today these use this term African American. It wouldn’t occur to me to use that. I prefer to think of myself as an American, that’s all!
    Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)

    I leave you, home,
    when I’m ripped from the doorstep
    by commerce or fate. Then I submit
    to the awful subway of the world....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
