Enterprise applications are changing, along with the requirements for developing, deploying, integrating and managing them. A change in application infrastructure is needed to address the new demands on applications. There is a growing acknowledgement that the traditional JEE 3-tier architecture does not work for the new generation of applications. The line between application and integration is fading as composite applications are becoming more widespread and the number of SaaS and web API services increases exponentially. Today's developers and IT organizations need an enterprise SOA solution that is powerful enough to support the most demanding back-end enterprise systems, yet can seamlessly integrate with the next generation of applications on both sides of the firewall.

Mulesoft products provide the necessary secure enterprise connectivity to back end systems while also embracing the new protocols and architecture of the web. Our lightweight and flexible infrastructure means that you can deploy our components anywhere, in any environment (standalone, application server, on premise, hosted/cloud) to provide the necessary connectivity and service mediation. Our flexibility also means you can leverage existing technology investments without having to replace everything with a heavy “stack.” Additionally the Mule runtime of Anypoint Platform also provides the simplest approach to integrating SaaS applications.


Mule runtime, when deployed as an ESB, takes the complexity out of integration, providing connectivity to a wide range of technologies and creating services that can be reused across your organization. It is lightweight and flexible, adapting to your existing infrastructure. Mule’s connectivity services support legacy, non-service enabled assets, modernized SOA-enabled assets, and new SaaS applications living outside the firewall. It also provides end-to-end visibility, performance configurability and high availability into your SOA infrastructure.
