Oracle pitches EDA applications, but analysts unconvinced
Oracle pitches EDA applications, but analysts unconvinced: "Oracle is making a big push on a suite of applications for building event-driven architectures (EDA), but analysts question its SOA 2.0 approach.
An EDA is a form of distributed computing in which applications respond to messages sent from other applications. An EDA often leverages service-oriented architectures, which companies use to link internal applications and connect them to computer systems of suppliers and partners.
Oracles EDA Suite is based on its Fusion Middleware products that allow components to register the events they publish and see and subscribe to events published by other components. The suite includes a design time environment, a messaging environment that handles data transmission and routing, a rules engine for defining business policies on events, and tools for analyzing and monitoring events.
