Enterprise Broker Even though there are a plethora of application servers in the market today, for a number of reasons, companies still need to develop scalable, enterprise-class distributed applications using Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation). Java RMI provides a simple model for distributed computing using Java objects. However, RMI only provides a communication framework and it does not meet the needs of most enterprise-class applications such as scalability, load balancing, fault-tolerance, remote administration and more. An entire infrastructure layer needs to be built over RMI to be able to support these needs. Building this infrastructure layer can be very difficult, costly and time-consuming for most corporations and can quickly escalate the cost of the project. EnterpriseBroker provides this infrastructure layer, which allows companies to be able to deliver high performance and fault tolerant distributed applications with relative ease. Enterprise Broker allows any application to quickly enable scalability, location transparency, load balancing, fault tolerance and remote administration by simply plugging in their business components into its infrastructure layer. This layer consists of a number of components for naming, distributed event management, authentication and authorization, logging, load management and remote system monitoring and control. EnterpriseBroker helps deliver Ascendsoft's promise of providing a component framework, which enables companies to rapidly develop new systems to meet the changing business requirements of time to market without sacrificing software quality, functionality, interoperability and costs EnterpriseBroker provides a number of built-in infrastructure services which application components can use out-of-box: * Naming Service * Event Notification Service * Authentication and Authorization Service * Logging Service * Transactions Service EnterpriseBroker automatically makes enterprise-class applications mission-critical by providing the following abilities: * Load balancing * Scalability * Fault-Tolerance * Program Configuration
