LeapFrog has based its integrations on Mule.
"It's the backbone for all the integration for all the Web platforms that LeapFrog has," said Ciurana. "LeapFrog is planning to do over 10 different Web sites and Web applications, and the Mule ESB ties all of them together across different environments and different countries, and it also ties [to] our third-party service providers," Ciurana said.
Saturn, meanwhile, can track transactions that go through Mule. It works with Version 1.5 of the enterprise ESB. Saturn is a BAM tool for business processes and workflow. It complements SOA infrastructure by providing detailed logging and reporting on transactions.
To provide visibility into transaction flows, developers and operations staff can drill down on transaction details and set message-level breakpoints for deep log analytics, according to MuleSource.
Other features of Saturn include process visualization, root-cause analysis, and reporting on service-level agreements.
Other companies, such as Iona, also have offered open source ESB technology. The open source ESB market, Rosenberg said, has made ESB more accessible by lowering the barrier to entry.
LeapFrog has found that, even though it must pay for support for open source software, it still saves money on it compared to commercial software. The company last year spent almost US$400,000 in open source subscriptions, but this figure would have risen to $1.6 million if commercial licenses were required, he said.
Support for open source software also is superior to support on commercial software, Ciurana said. "That's the only way these guys can make money. They tend to be more customer oriented," he said.
Mule 1.5 Enterprise and the beta version of Saturn are available Tuesday. Mule 1.5 prices start at $7,000 per year. Galaxy 1.0 Community, the untested version, will be offered Tuesday at no cost. The supported Galaxy 1.0 Enterprise product expected in the second quarter will feature subscription support, but no price has been set yet.
