Title: Re: [soa-rm-ra] The Hartford presentation at SOA Governance TEM

Ken:

This (what you wrote):

“the sum of the existing infrastructure [...] comprised what many vendors were selling as an ESB.”

Is perhaps the best explanation of what ESB is I have ever heard. Most people think of a bus in terms of the hardware use of the term. In the software world, a set of non-physical members using the same standard and protocols can implement the bus pattern.
