I am presenting a webinar with GigaSpaces tomorrow on Scalable SOA where we’ll be introducing a powerful joint solution integrating GigaSpaces’ XAP with the open source Mule ESB.

This webinar is intended for developers and architects looking for an end-to-end SOA solution, featuring application resiliency, failover and linear scalability

During this 1-hour event Uri Cohen, Product Manager at GigaSpaces and myself will introduce the joint solution and discuss the underlying details around how the Mule/GigaSpaces integration works. Attendees will see several ways to scale an SOA implementation, the benefits of this integration, example use cases, a live demo and more.

Who should attend?

• GigaSpaces users looking for a lightweight, flexible, integration platform that allows complex workflow support and connectivity with almost every possible protocol
• Mule users who are looking to achieve fault tolerance, high availability, linear scalability and self healing capabilities with their existing Mule applications
