Hi All,
I use IBM Message Broker 6.0 at my company. I've recently been doing reading on IBM ESB.
Is anyone using IBM ESB out there and what is the major differences between IBM ESB and IBM Message Broker?
Any help would be appreciated. |

I was mostly wondering what research you had done already 
I have no personal experience of IBM's WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus product.
I do however know how to use google and look up the features of each product to compare  . I'm trying to find out more so that anyone who does know about ESB vs Broker might be able to answer a specific question or query that you have. Specifically knowing what you are trying to achieve will help people answer your question.
It is fairly unlikely that someone is going to answer your question with a complete breakdown of the differences of the two products, however if there is a specific question you might find someone to answer it.
I would also suggest that a quick route would be to talk to your IBM sales rep and ask him/her for a summary of the differences in usage scenario between the two products.
Alternatively look at the announcement notices on the web and compare the feature sets yourself.
edit: you may find this page useful as a starting point, it took me about 10 seconds using google to find it:

Here are few differences that can help you to differentiate between WESB and WMB
---> WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus provides ESB functions for SOAs built on open standards. It is based on WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and inherits its built-in messaging provider and quality of services. WebSphere Process Server is built on top of webSphere Enterprise Service Bus and adds a business process runtime.
---> WebSphere Message Broker provides advanced ESB functionality for
universal support of messaging applications. It is based on WebSphere MQ
and takes advantage of the services that is provided by its messaging
infrastructure.
--->WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus is designed to provide the core functionality of an ESB for a predominantly Web services based environment. It is built on WebSphere Application Server, which provides the foundation for the transport layer. WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus adds a mediation layer based on the SCA programming model on top of this foundation to provide intelligent connectivity. If the customer has a lot of Web services in their environment, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus is likely to be the better product to use.
--->WebSphere Message Broker provides a more advanced ESB solution with advanced integration capabilities such as universal connectivity and any-to-any transformation for data-centric deployments. It can handle services integration as well as integration with non-services applications. WebSphere MQ provides the transport backbone for messaging applications. Typically, customers who need a higher performance and throughput product in a message-centric environment would use WebSphere Message Broker. |

Process Server is not exactly built over WESB...it's built over WAS and only comes bundled with WESB...but then, that's not the topic of discussion here anyway.
There is a thin line between the capabilities of each ESB but it is still possible to assess the customer environment and requirements and differentiate and position each uniquely.
This is a common question from customers, but unfortunately I don't think I can share the differentiators here...in basic terms, we don't recommend the customer making his ESB choice If you are an IBMer you can look up the 'ESB Positioning Guide' on w3, else talk to your IBM Sales rep and he'll study your requirements and position the appropriate.
Regards. |
