European Parliament Selects Mule ESB Enterprise as Backbone for Enterprise-Wide Architecture
MuleSoft to Provide Fully Supported Open Source Integration Solution With a Dramatically Lower TCO Than Alternatives
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - October 1, 2009) - MuleSoft today announced that the
European Parliament has selected Mule ESB as the backbone for their
service-oriented architecture (SOA).
The European Parliament plans to deploy Mule ESB at the
core of an enterprise-wide SOA spanning multiple geographies, leveraging a
standards-based Web
Services infrastructure and potentially allowing new uses for existing
applications across multiple data centers. In selecting Mule ESB, the
European Parliament joins the thousands of organizations in the Mule
community who have contributed to Mule's becoming the industry-leading open
source ESB, with over 1.5 million downloads and 2,000 production
deployments.
Public sector organizations across the EU are increasingly looking for ways
to improve integration across application silos, maximize reuse of existing
assets, and improve agility and time to market for new services. Mule ESB
provides organizations an open source option that meets their needs at a
dramatically lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than legacy proprietary
solution stacks.
"We view the European Parliament's selection of MuleSoft as great
validation that the open source Mule ESB can deliver value to public sector
organizations, and ultimately the taxpayers, at a fraction of the cost of
commercial software, with the same or better functionality," said Gregory
Brackett, director of EU sales, MuleSoft. "The European Parliament is
widely recognized as an organization that prioritizes stability and
reliability, and their decision to deploy Mule ESB, after two years of
evaluation, is an important endorsement."
Through a regional delivery partner delivering the MuleSoft subscription,
the European Parliament will enjoy robust support and consulting services,
ensuring that they will address any issues that arise during the
development and production phases of their Mule ESB projects. In addition,
the European Parliament will meet its rigorous SLA requirements with
out-of-the-box high availability and failover capabilities, as well as an
integrated management console, both included with their Mule ESB Enterprise
subscription.
