MuleSoft has debuted an upgrade to its open-source enterprise service bus software with new capabilities that make it easier to integrate on-premise applications and data with cloud-based Web applications.
The new Mule ESB 3.1 also provides a management console with capabilities based on the DevOps movement to develop a common set of processes and methodologies that cover software development, technology operations and quality assurance.
MuleSoft’s software, which competes with ESB software from Tibco, IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Oracle (NSDQ:ORCL), is built on the open-source Mule ESB and Apache Tomcat technologies. The company follows a business model similar to that of MySQL, offering a free “community edition” of its product and a commercial version with extended capabilities and support services.
Mule ESB 3.1 is “a major generational upgrade” of the software, said Mateo Almenta Reca, in an interview.
