IBM WebSphere Technical Update 2007
What is an Enterprise Service Bus?
An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a flexible connectivity

infrastructure for integrating applications and services.
An ESB powers your SOA by reducing the number, size, and complexity of interfaces.
An ESB performs the following

between requestor and service
• ROUTING messages
between services
• CONVERTING transport
protocols between requestor
and service
• TRANSFORMING message
formats between requestor
and service
• HANDLING business events
Shape = Protocol
from disparate sources Color = Data type

WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Message Broker
ESB Advanced ESB

WebSphere ESB WebSphere Message Broker
Web Services connectivity Universal connectivity and

and data transformation data transformation
