BEA AquaLogic Ensemble is a powerful system for managing Web resources – applications, components, widgets, programmable functions – and for blending these resources together in new and existing Web applications. BEA AquaLogic Ensemble supports the two most important technical stakeholders in your company, IT and developers.
For IT, BEA AquaLogic Ensemble provides a simple framework for managing the resources your company's Web is made from. And to the Web applications that don't have them, BEA AquaLogic Ensemble gives perimeter security, role-based provisioning and usage tracking.
For developers, BEA AquaLogic Ensemble provides a platform to share components and widgets - regardless of how they were built, what code they were written in, and where they are hosted - and blends those widgets into new or existing Web applications.

BEA AquaLogic Ensemble: Key Capabilities
CAPABILITY |
WHAT |
HOW |
| Perimeter security |
Dead-simple application security and provisioning |
BEA AquaLogic Ensemble overlays authentication and access control over Web applications registered within it. BEA AquaLogic Ensemble plugs in to existing user repositories and single sign-on technologies and supports a variety of authentication methods, including form-based authentication, basic authentication, SPNEGO and popular SSO products. |
| Widget creation |
Create reusable widgets from existing or new code |
BEA AquaLogic Ensemble helps IT create a library of reusable widgets that developers can summon through simple, declarative tags. BEA AquaLogic Ensemble can represent any development - regardless of language or platform - as a reusable, pre-programmed element. |
| Mash-ups |
Mash widgets into new or existing Web applications |
Developers can include simple XML tags that represent widgets or some existing programmed function within new or existing Web applications they are developing. BEA AquaLogic Ensemble transforms these XML tags into the widgets they represent. |
| Transparent reverse proxy |
Platform-independent, software-based front controller |
Any url-addressable resource registered within BEA AquaLogic Ensemble gains access to the security, analytics and mash-up capabilities the system provides. As a powerful proxy for these resources, BEA AquaLogic Ensemble can provide additional value as it delivers them, including compression for improved performance, inserting interstitial pages for added functionality, and gatewaying, where the system handles the url-rewriting needed to provide the resource to alternative audiences or deployment patterns. |
| Activity tracking |
Track and report on user activity within new or existing Web applications |
BEA AquaLogic Ensemble keeps track of what users do within applications it delivers, leveraging a built-in usage analytics engine. BEA AquaLogic Ensemble provides a simple facility for tracking custom application activities, like new opportunity creation in a CRM system. |
BEA AquaLogic Ensemble: Benefits
