Architecture Overview

An overview of components and connections within an Eclipse Amlen solution.

Figure 1 is a deployment diagram that is typical of Eclipse Amlen applications. In the diagram, Eclipse Amlen connects many users and devices on the internet to services that are deployed on an intranet. The users, devices, and services interact with each other by exchanging messages through Eclipse Amlen.

Eclipse Amlen connects large numbers of clients and routes large volumes of messages. Eclipse Amlen supports both publish/subscribe and point-to-point messaging. Like IBM® MQ, it is a subject-based publish subscribe broker, not a content-based broker. Unlike a content-based broker, message-content is not queried or altered by Eclipse Amlen. No user-based applications can run on Eclipse Amlen. Eclipse Amlen typically sits alongside other edge-of-network devices with the same objectives of forwarding large volumes of internet traffic from many different clients.
