IONA Artix Connect

Powerful Support for Application Integration

Artix Connect is a custom .NET remoting channel, referred to as Artix Remoting. Its purpose is to support application integration across network boundaries, different operating systems, and different programming languages. Specifically, it provides a high performance bridge that enables .NET clients to connect to existing legacy systems, such as the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) in the telecommunications industry or complex business processes that run on the mainframe.

How does Artix Connect differ from standard .NET remoting channels?

The Artix remoting channel uses the Artix ESB runtime to provide support for all of the transports and protocols that Artix ESB supports, and quality of services such as security. The tool provides more options than the .NET remoting channel, which only supports SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over TCP/IP. Artix Connect includes the ability to mix and match transport protocols and bindings (marshalling schemes) to enable .NET clients and servers to communicate with other technologies such as J2EE, WebSphere MQ (MQSeries), TIBCO, and mainframes using native formats or SOAP over native transports.

The Artix remoting channel can also be customized using Artix APIs. This is analogous to using custom sinks and formatters in .NET remoting. In addition, the Artix security features work across many different middleware systems (Common Secure Interoperability Protocol Version 2), which allow .NET applications to seamlessly connect to CORBA backend systems, for example Operational Support Systems and IMS.

The illustration below provides a conceptual overview of how Artix Connect facilitates the integration of .NET clients and the middleware platforms supported by Artix:
