The OpenSpan Virtual Broker enables you to move legacy applications off users' desktops to your data center by providing a reliable and scalable mechanism for exposing legacy applications and workflows as web services. Simply use the OpenSpan Studio design environment to expose legacy functionality as web services and deploy these services in your server environment using the Virtual Broker.

By deploying legacy applications and workflows as services in a server environment, you benefit by improving manageability and control, mitigating risks, reducing costs and further expediting your path to SOA.

The Virtual Broker is an application fabric for managing multiple OpenSpan sessions, including virtualized sessions if so desired. The broker supports .NET and leading J2EE-based application server platforms.

For more information on service-enabling legacy applications and workflows, please download the OpenSpan for SOA datasheet or view the Service-Enablement online demonstration.
