| Abstract: |
CBDI reported on PolarLake when it was first launched and was impressed by its capabilities. Since then it has matured into a more complete product and is now positioned as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). In this report we look at the new features and assess PolarLake’s ability to act as a bridge between new Business Service requirements and the diverse range of resources in use in most organizations. |
| Backgrounder: |
We first looked at PolarLake at the beginning of 2003. At the time we concluded it was an extremely polished and well produced product that stood out from the then current clutch of Web Services software products in the way it was focused on the real-world customer requirements of XML and non-XML content processing rather than specializing just on the Web Services paradigm that was emerging at the time.
Since then, the PolarLake Integration Suite has expanded to include significant new functionality that positions it in the Enterprise Service Bus2 (ESB) product marketplace. Wisely in our opinion, PolarLake does not have its own Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) sub-system, relying instead on interoperability via open standards such as JMS or directly with MOM products such as IBM MQSeries, Tibco and others. Instead it focuses on core ESB functions of Service orchestration, and mediation (message broking and transformation), whilst leaving transport to the underlying infrastructure that most organizations will already have in place.
