Sun Master Data Management Suite Primer

Sun MDM Integration and Infrastructure Components

The Sun MDM Suite is built on a platform of integration and infrastructure applications that provide connectivity, define the flow of data, handle access and security, and route and transform data.

Sun Enterprise Service Bus

The Sun Enterprise Service Bus is an integration platform based on Java technology and web services. It is a pluggable platform that incorporates the Java Business Integration (JBI) standard to allow loosely coupled components to communicate with each other through standards-based messaging. It provides core integration capabilities to the MDM Suite, including comprehensive application connectivity, guaranteed messaging, and transformation capabilities along with a unified environment for integration development, deployment, monitoring, and management.

Sun Business Process Manager

The Sun Business Process Manager enables long-lived, process-driven integration. It allows you to model, test, implement, monitor, manage, and optimize business processes that orchestrate the flow of activities across any number of web services, systems, people, and partners. It delivers an open, graphical modeling environment for the industry-standard business process execution language (BPEL). Sun Master Index services can be called from a business process in order to share data with external systems.

Sun Java System Access Manager

Sun Java System Access Manager is based on open standards and delivers authentication and policy-based authorization within a single, unified framework to support composite application integration. It secures the delivery of essential identity and application information on top of the Sun Directory Server and scales with growing business needs by offering single sign-on as well as enabling federation across trusted networks of partners, suppliers, and customers.

Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition

The Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) builds a solid foundation for identity management by providing a central repository for storing and managing identity profiles, access privileges, and application and network resource information. The Sun DSEE enables enterprise applications and large-scale extranet applications to access consistent, accurate, and reliable identity data.

Sun Java System Portal Server

The Sun Java System Portal Server provides a user portal for collaboration with business processes and composite applications layered on top of legacy and packaged applications that are integrated using business integration components within the Sun MDM Suite.

Sun Adapters

Sun Adapters provide extensive support for integration with legacy applications, packaged applications, and data stores through a combination of traditional adapter technology and modern JBI and Java Connector Architecture (JCA) standards-based approach.

GlassFish Enterprise Server

The GlassFish Enterprise Server is an application server that is compatible with Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE), for developing and delivering server-side applications. Once you create and configure the MDM applications, they can be deployed to the GlassFish server.

NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

NetBeans provides a unified interface for building, testing, and deploying reusable, secure web services. The Sun MDM Suite applications are created within the NetBeans project structure and include wizards and editors that are fully integrated into the NetBeans IDE.
