Business Wire
IONA� Technologies (NASDAQ: IONA), a world leader in distributed
service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure solutions for
performance-demanding IT environments, today announced that
Passenger�, the technology leader in creating collaborative
relationships between brands and their most valued customers, has
selected IONA to support its deployment of Apache ActiveMQ, the
most popular and powerful Open Source JMS-compliant messaging and
integration platform. Passenger will deploy IONA�s FUSE� Message
Broker, which is IONA�s tested, certified and fully supported
version of ActiveMQ, to deliver service-oriented integration for
Passenger�s customer collaboration platform. Passenger�s customer
collaboration platform is a Web-based platform that offers clients
private community forums based on the concepts of social
networking. Clients can easily establish online private brand
communities to facilitate seamless communications between the
company and their customers. The platform is delivered in a
software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, enabling easier feature
enhancements and customization. Due to the high degree of
customization that Passenger offers its customers, the company
required the efficiency and flexibility offered by an SOA
integration infrastructure. Passenger evaluated both commercially
licensed and Open Source options and selected ActiveMQ as the
preferred solution. �We take a best of breed approach to
technology,� said Bill Parducci, CTO, Passenger. �We quickly
established that ActiveMQ was the best technology on the market for
SOA enablement based on a messaging infrastructure, particularly as
our solution is offered over the Web using the SaaS delivery model.
However, because it was critically important for us to have
enterprise-level service and support for a successful roll-out, we
required a solution with a first class support structure. IONA
provided us with the ability to take the best technology on the
market in the form of ActiveMQ and confidently deploy a tested and
certified version of that technology together with the required
level of enterprise consultancy and support with FUSE Message
Broker.� FUSE is IONA�s tested and certified Open Source product
family based on popular projects hosted by the Apache Software
Foundation. IONA provides professional support, consulting and
training for enterprise customers looking to deploy Open Source SOA
technology in mission-critical business applications. While the
FUSE Message Broker provides the fundamental infrastructure for
Passenger�s SOA infrastructure, the company has adopted additional
Open Source products from IONA�s FUSE product family to extend and
enhance its SOA capabilities. As with FUSE Message Broker, each of
these products is a certified, tested and fully supported release
of a technology developed at the Apache Software Foundation.
Passenger uses the FUSE Services Framework, based on Apache CXF, to
enable web services and FUSE Mediation Router, based on Apache
Camel, to easily implement messaging patterns. �A robust,
enterprise-scale production and support infrastructure was key to
our decision to adopt Open Source technology,� explained Bill
Parducci. �IONA�s professional services team is truly first class
and from our first engagement we knew the team had the experience
with the technology and were highly skilled in the delivery of
mission-critical consultancy and support to Global 2000 customers.
The IONA team did more than address basic configuration questions
for ActiveMQ. They understood our requirements and helped to set
the direction for our architecture. They introduced us to valuable
features and capabilities of the technology that we would not have
been aware of, had we decided to deploy ActiveMQ without their
assistance. Yes, they provide 24x7 production support, and we do
require that, but there is also great value in IONA�s ability to
apply its breadth of experience in integration architecture and
depth of technical product knowledge to our specific requirements.�
�We�re delighted to be selected by Passenger in the roll-out of
their Open Source based SOA infrastructure,� said Larry Alston,
Vice President and General Manager Open Source, IONA Technologies.
�Robust technology alone is not enough, enterprise customers
require a complete solution, and that means it must be backed-up by
the right level of enterprise service and support, technical
expertise and deep industry experience. Passenger is a clear
example of the kind of support companies are looking for in their
evaluation and adoption of Open Source technology.� Further
