FUSE (Certified Open Source SOA Solution)

FUSE is a set of open-source software components which are certified releases of Apache Software Foundation SOA projects.

FUSE was created to make it easier for companies to use leading community developed technologies as part of their Service-oriented architecture deployment strategy and take advantage of the economic benefits associated with the use of open source software. By providing certified Open Source distributions of a product, users can enjoy mitigated risk through enterprise-level support, consulting and training.

The different components in the FUSE family include:

*FUSE ESB is the enterprise release of Apache ServiceMix. FUSE ESB is one of the first shipping implementations of the Java Business Integration (JBI)specification.

*FUSE Mediation Router is the enterprise release of Apache Camel [http://activemq.apache.org/camel/] . This is a powerful tool for routing and process mediation that combines the ease of basic POJO development with the clarity of the standard Enterprise Integration Patterns.
