Red Hat, a leading open source software provider, has been added to its enterprise open source middleware with FuseSource. Red Hat acquired FuseSource last September and folded both its Fuse enterprise service bus and AMQ software into JBoss middleware. InfoWorld takes a closer look at the middleware upgrade in, “Red Hat Rolls FuseSource Middleware Into JBoss Stack.” The FuseSource software addresses the growing need for different applications to exchange data:
’These products are particularly applicable in scenarios where people have a view of building [a system] their way. They want a lightweight platform that is highly customizable,’ said Pierre Fricke, director of product line management for Red Hat’s JBoss SOA platforms. ‘You see these products being deployed in investment banking, in large scale federal government projects,’ and in retail, Fricke said.
The addition of the Fuse software bumps up the communication between systems. The Fuse AMQ will eventually phase out Red Hat’s in-house MRG messaging protocol. Red Hat’s goal is to keep improving its software for the open source community. While it might not be the most exciting news in the open source community, Red Hat does bring joy to those who want better systems communication. LucidWorks also enjoys doing the same with its Apache Lucene search applications for enterprise, Cloud, and Big Data.
