Later, it got new components added to it and it does more than just load balancing. Middleware now is a very powerful software which does many things like Transaction management, Connection Pooling to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>Oracle has come far in the Middleware software. It has evolved to many heights. But the product naming and versioning still brings some confusion to the users.<\/p>\n<p>Oracle iAS is the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Middleware\"><font color=\"#336688\">Middleware<\/font><\/a> software from Oracle with OHS (Oracle Http Server aka Apache Server), and plugged in modules from Oracle like mod-plsql, mod-osso etc and other components like OID, Content Management SDK etc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/technologies\/soa\/soa-suite.html\"><font color=\"#336688\">SOA Suite<\/font><\/a> is a new software from Oracle which is based on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Service-orientated_architecture\"><font color=\"#336688\">SOA<\/font><\/a>. This is a set of components and SDKs which include all the latest technology and specifications. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Service-orientated_architecture\"><font color=\"#336688\">SOA <\/font><\/a>Suite is a combination of iAS and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/appserver\/bpel_home.html\"><font color=\"#336688\">BPEL Process Manager<\/font><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/appserver\/web-services-manager.html\"><font color=\"#336688\">Web Services Manager<\/font><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/appserver\/rules.html\"><font color=\"#336688\">Rules Manager<\/font><\/a> , <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/appserver\/business-activity-monitoring.html\"><font color=\"#336688\">Activity Monitor<\/font><\/a> and above all <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enterprise_service_bus\"><font color=\"#336688\">Enterprise Service Bus<\/font><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/products\/middleware\/index.html\"><font color=\"#336688\">Oracle Fusion Middleware<\/font><\/a> (a new confusion)is much more than iAS and SOA Suite .
