Middleware

Most of medium and large companies deploy their own applications and also integrate different enterprise systems together. Middleware is a term for software, that can help building your own applications and integrating different applications together.

For many CIOs and CTOs, this term is quite esoteric and they usually start to think about middleware very late. It is no surprise, because it's not anything, that solves a business need, it is more like an operating system -- you need it to run, a good one can make some business needs easier, but no one says: "Let's have this operating system".

Middleware can indeed solve some common problems, for example:

• Application server can enable an application to run in a cluster: load balancing, distributed session management, distributed transactions.
• Service Oriented Architecture can reduce costs of integration of different applications. By implementing SOA early, you can reduce integration costs that will occur sooner or later.
• There are common application needs that are often solved by reinventing the wheel, especially in smaller applications, for example: abstraction of database access, inter-application messaging, publishing applications as services, business process implementation, rule-driven applications, access control, authentication
• You can run several applications with fine-tuned security policies on one application cluster
• Database virtualization can allow different applications with different relation schemes to use the same data source.
• Web portals, communication and social office, custom applications in web portals

We can help your developers to focus on business needs instead of reinventing the wheel and you to build your middleware infrastructure to scale and make most of your hardware resources, while maintaining required availability.
