Middleware Technologies:
Middleware includes web servers, application servers, content management systems, and similar
tools that support application development and delivery.

Oracle WebLogic Server forms part of Oracle Fusion Middleware portfolio and supports Oracle, DB2,
Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL Enterprise and other JDBC-compliant databases. Oracle WebLogic
Platform also includes: JRockit, a custom JVM.

Middleware technologies are often employed to eliminate the pain of integration. A middleware
solution is essentially a layer between two systems that makes it easy for the two to communicate. It
can be considered the glue that holds together applications, making seamless connectivity possible
without requiring the two applications to communicate directly. In a highly distributed environment
in which businesses need to connect with legacy systems, cloud and SaaS applications, and business
management software such as SAP and Salesforce, the role of a middleware technology is critical.

Mule as an ESB, A Middleware Solution

MuleSoft provides a middleware solution to help businesses overcome the challenges of

integration. Mule Enterprise Service Bus is a middleware technology that quickly, easily, and
securely connects the enterprise. Unlike typical middleware software, Mule as an ESB is a Java-
based middleware solution that is easy to use and easy to scale. It can also be used as the
middleware connectivity tool with .NET connectivity, providing a more reliable and easy to use
platform solution than other options on the market. Mule Enterprise Service Bus, working with other
components of Anypoint Platform™, connects the New Enterprise with ease:
