LogicBlaze and eCube Systems Partner to Provide Legacy-to-SOA Integration Solution; Companies Will Provide Collaborative Services and Support for eCube NXTware Evolution Server 2.5 Based on LogicBlaze FUSE.MARINA DEL REY, Calif. & CONROE, Texas -- LogicBlaze(TM), a leading provider of open source solutions for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records. (2) (Service Oriented Architecture) The modularization of business functions for greater flexibility and reusability. ) and business integration, and eCube Systems, a leading provider of enterprise evolution solutions, today announced a technology partnership that will provide customers with a comprehensive legacy-to-SOA integration solution in the eCube NXTware Evolution Server 2.5. The two companies will collaborate to promote and provide comprehensive services and support for the product, as well as coordinate sales efforts. Under the terms of the agreement, eCube will integrate LogicBlaze FUSE, the leading open source runtime SOA platform, with its NXTware Evolution Server 2.5 product to provide an end-to-end solution capable of accessing mainframe legacy systems and incorporating them into a SOA. The eCube NXTware Evolution Server allows companies to incorporate essential business logic on legacy host with modern enterprise IT architecture without costly integration software and complex hand-coding. The addition of LogicBlaze FUSE into eCube NXTware Evolution Server 2.5 provides NXTware and its users with a comprehensive foundation for the integration and development of SOA, including messaging, business process support, scripting and a robust ESB (Enterprise Services Bus) A message broker that supports Web services. See message broker, messaging middleware and Web services. (enterprise service bus), all in a single out-of-the-box solution. "We chose to build NXTware Evolution Server 2.5 on LogicBlaze FUSE because of the simplicity of integrating the complementary products and the cost-effective and time-saving benefits our customers will achieve through the addition of a proven and feature-rich open source SOA platform," said Kevin Barnes, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"The product integration was relatively simple and only took two weeks to complete, in part because eCube developers were able to directly access and work with the standards-based APIs and open source code in the FUSE architecture -- an otherwise impossible proposition with proprietary solutions." eCube Systems will replace existing proprietary technology in NXTware with the proven open source ESB and SOA functionality in LogicBlaze FUSE, allowing the company to focus development efforts on wide-ranging connectivity to legacy architectures, including CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global , COBOL COBOL: see programming language. COBOL in full Common Business-Oriented Language.

It controls the interaction between applications and users and lets programmers develop screen displays without . LogicBlaze FUSE is a simple and streamlined solution that easily integrates with other products, as it provides direct access to open source code, distribution under the enterprise-friendly Apache 2.0 license and a Java Business Integration-based (JBI JBI Java Business Integration (Sun) JBI Joanna Briggs Institute (Adelaide, SA, Australia) JBI Joint Battlespace Infosphere JBI Just Bring It! JBI Jamaica Bauxite Institute JBI Jamaica Buses, Incorporated ) design. This enables easy interoperability with a range of integration technologies as pluggable components. "Frequently, enterprises rely on time-intensive and complex hand-coding because proprietary SOA solutions available on the market are either too limiting or the integration effort too expensive and difficult," said Winston Damarillo, chairman, LogicBlaze. "The integration between LogicBlaze FUSE and eCube Systems NXTware results in a product that builds on the advantages of open source technology, enabling enterprises to easily and cost-effectively leverage their legacy host systems in the most flexible and agile SOA solution available today. The partnership also highlights a central strength of the LogicBlaze business model that permits close collaboration with vendors of commercially licensed software, ultimately providing fast and easy integration to deliver complete solutions to new markets." eCube Systems NXTware Evolution Server 2.5 will be delivered with the CoRE (Community-oriented Real-time Engineering) Network, a subscription-based framework for production and developer level support and maintenance from Simula A simulation language originating in the late 1960s that was used to model the behavior of complex systems.
