What is BEA AquaLogic Service Bus?

BEA AquaLogic Service Bus is a configuration-based, policy-driven Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). It is targeted for service-oriented integration, managing Web Services, and providing traditional message brokering across heterogeneous IT environments. It combines intelligent message brokering with service monitoring and administration in a unified software product. AquaLogic Service Bus manages the routing and transformation of messages in an enterprise system. Through the AquaLogic Service Bus Console you control the service and policy configurations and you monitor system and operations tasks. AquaLogic Service Bus relies on WebLogic Server run-time facilities. For more information, see BEA AquaLogic Service Bus Concepts and Architecture.
