SpiritSoft delivers SpiritWave ESB Server version 6.0 with Global Clustering technology for 24/7 message delivery.

SpiritSoft has announced the general availability of SpiritWave ESB Server version 6.0 with Global Clustering technology, non-blocking input/output (NIO) and JMX (Java Management Extensions). Enterprises deployed with SpiritWave now experience 24/7 message delivery with no client down time, extreme scalability, ease of use, and no interrupted message flow during maintenance.

SpiritWave ESB Server is the industry's most scalable Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) leveraging JMS and Web Services standards to support enterprise application integration and provide a flexible platform to easily manage complex distributed systems. The advanced Global Clustering technology of SpiritWave 6.0 delivers scalability, high performance, fault tolerance, and automated cluster recovery to heterogenous global messaging networks.

"Next-generation infrastructure and integration products must accommodate loosely coupled systems, standards-based architectures, and Internet technologies in a seamless, easy-to-implement fashion," said Sally Hudson, research manager of software infrastructure, IDC. "ESB/JMS products serve as a framework for adding critical e-business services as needed within an organization."

Robert Davies, Chief Technology Officer for SpiritSoft, said, "To remain competitive, enterprises must be enabled to introduce and remove newer applications as needed. With the Global Clustering technology of SpiritWave ESB Server, users can maintain and replace existing business critical applications without disrupting the flow of information."

SpiritWave ESB Server additionally supports non-blocking input/output for extreme scaling to large numbers of clients from a single daemon or across a cluster. This feature optionally utilizes the J2SE 1.4 NIO facilities. This enterprise scalability feature dramatically reduces hardware costs of supporting large numbers of clients.

SpiritWave ESB Server is designed with management in mind being built around JMX for enterprise management, auditing and control. Using JMX, SpiritWave users have access to global infrastructure monitoring and alerting capabilities that plug into industry standard management systems. Users can control networks of clusters from single or multiple access points (local or remote). A Web-based management console uses SpiritWave's embedded Tomcat server.

SpiritSoft develops open-standard enterprise messaging-based technologies that enable dynamic business interactions across diverse applications and devices. SpiritSoft's open, standards-based approach leverages Java Message Service (JMS), XML and Caching technologies to enable users to seamlessly integrate with legacy systems and any proprietary middleware. The company provides the only complete ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) and integration platform that meets the challenges of building, deploying and managing distributed systems.
