The Artix family comprises four products. Artix Encompass renovates existing applications built on disparate middleware platforms so they may be reused and extended without impacting enterprise qualities of service.
Artix Relay allows customers to build and deploy high-performance web services links between CORBA, MQSeries, Tuxedo, TIBCO and other middleware platforms to facilitate direct and reliable cross-platform communication.
Artix Mainframe exposes mainframe CICS and IMS transactions as web services without requiring mainframe application changes.
Artix Migrate allows customers to abstract applications from legacy middleware, so that dependent systems can be migrated to more strategic, lower cost alternatives without disrupting ongoing operations.
Artix is designed for IT organisations that need to unify their heterogeneous, high-performance infrastructure without degrading performance or reliability. It uses the Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) to make this integration possible. Artix lets customers define WSDL service contracts for a variety of enterprise infrastructure platforms, including MQSeries, CORBA, CICS, IMS, Tuxedo and TIBCO, and publish these as reusable web services. Artix also allows customers to build new web services in C++ that make use of the qualities of service of their MQSeries, Tuxedo, TIBCO and CORBA middleware backbones as web services transports.
Unlike ‘hub and spoke’ designs common to EAI technologies, or dependence on a single technology that computer makers demand, Artix’s distributed architecture ensures that applications and systems remain independent and loosely coupled, leaving them able to communicate with multiple systems using a common interface. Artix’s distributed scheme improves the scalability of integration projects and eliminates single-points of failure in the system.
Artix Relay and Artix Encompass are available now. Artix Migrate and Artix Mainframe will ship before the end of the year.
