MuleSource targets enterprises with open-source governance solution


By David Worthington
June 30, 2008 — 
With a mindful eye on governance’s growing role in SOA infrastructure, a software developer is leveraging open-source technology to make governance more accessible and lightweight.

MuleSource released today Galaxy Enterprise, which is based on Mule Galaxy Community Edition, an open-source project that was released in January.

Galaxy Enterprise manages SOA artifacts and dependencies while providing governance and life-cycle capabilities, querying and indexing, and clustering for high availability.

The lack of a UDDI registry, rather than its open-source origin, differentiates Galaxy from other governance solutions.

Galaxy uses an interface based on REST (representational state transfer). It is built around the Atom Publishing Protocol as the basis for discovering, publishing and “life-cycling” services, explained CEO Dave Rosenberg.

He quipped, “It is an easier-to-use registry vs. one like [HP] Systinet—the Death Star.” Atom is easy to use when integrating between products, Rosenberg added: “It’s just URLs and XML. [A developer] can write UDDI three times and still not understand it.”

Indeed, UDDI is complex and cumbersome, said ZapThink analyst Jason Bloomberg. Its original purpose has little to do with how it’s used today, and few SOA implementations rely on UDDI, he said.

But customers who insist on UDDI support will get it in Galaxy Enterprise later this year, according to Rosenberg.

Meanwhile, MuleSource is trying to build a community of Atom-based integrations for other frameworks. Those would include Apache CXF—the fusion of the Celtix (originally developed by Iona Technologies) and the Codehaus XFire frameworks—and Windows Communication Foundation, he noted.

A feature called Mule NetBoot permits applications to be loaded remotely from the repository. When applications are rolled back or updated in the repository, Mule NetBoot loads both the application and Mule distribution over the network, said MuleSource developer Dan Diephouse.

“It is all Web-based,” he noted. “There is no per-server management.”

Galaxy has support for a variety of artifact types, including Java application JAR files, custom artifacts, Mule configurations, schemas and WSDL. The query engine can look up custom data types as well as Microsoft Office documents.

Mule Galaxy Enterprise is available via subscription, which includes automatic upgrades, patch management and software IP indemnification.
