Benchmark Glassfish ESB April 2010

This document results from a study ordered by one of our customers. He recently allowed us to publish its main conclusion. A few months ago, we were asked to evaluate the performance/cost ratio for a semi-complex integration project with Glassfish ESB. Glassfish ESB is a light weight ESB initially developed by Sun Microsystems relying on well-known standards (Java, JEE, XML, XSD, WSDL, BPEL and JBI). Following Sun Microsystems philosophy, Glassfish ESB is free of licence charges for development and production. Thus projects can focus their budget on training, services and support. Study results show very interesting performances for an entry price around 5-10 times cheaper than the well-known suites.
