TIBCO announced it is demonstrating how the combination of SCA and the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid provides a highly scalable Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) combination for enterprise developers looking to reap the benefits of both models.

Using SCA helps in part by laying a common framework for organizing, modeling and composing services within the enterprise. SCA goes beyond previous interoperability standards and provides a design standard that allows enterprise architects and developers a model driven approach to creating composite service oriented applications.

"ActiveMatrix Service Grid enables companies to achieve extreme scalability by providing service virtualization through an open, extensible service platform based on a proven foundation," said Matt Quinn, senior vice president of engineering and technology strategies at TIBCO. "Service virtualization provides developers with fast and easy-to-use tools that enable them to quickly get their jobs done, not devote their limited working hours to rebuilding common components."

Developers can use SCA to provide a simpler and more service-oriented approach to building business logic. ActiveMatrix Service Grid helps by providing an OSGI-based development environment for service enablement in high-performance application environments to leverage the benefits of agility and flexibility of an SOA without sacrificing high performance.

Using TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid and SCA, developers can go beyond Java and BPEL services to also have Java coupled with .NET, offering a powerful combination for enterprise customers to manage their broader technology infrastructure.

Panel Discussion
Scott Vorthman, senior architect at TIBCO, will be a panel member at the 2008 JavaOne Conference. The panel session, "Open Standards for SOA and Java," will take place on Wednesday, May 7 at 4:10 PM in the Moscone Center-Gateway 102/103.

The discussion will address questions about the Service Component Architecture (SCA) standard and its relationship to Java and other technology-based SOA development.
