Fusion
Oracle Fusion is really three separate entities: the architecture, the mid-
dleware, and the applications, as shown in Figure
8.1. Oracle Fusion
Architecture provides an open architecture ecosystem, which is service-
and event-enabled. Many enterprises use this open, pluggable architecture
ecosystem to write Oracle Fusion applications, or even third-party appli-
cations, on top of Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Oracle Fusion Architecture is based on the following core principles:
•
Model driven
: For applications, business processes, and business
information
•
Service- and event-enabled
: For extensible, modular, flexible applica-
tions and processes
•
Information-centric
: For complete and consistent, actionable, real-
time intelligence
•
Grid ready
: Must be scalable, available, secure, and manageable on
low-cost hardware
•
Standards based
: Must be open and pluggable in a heterogeneous
environment
Oracle Fusion Applications are built on top of the Oracle Fusion
Middleware technology stack using Oracle's Fusion Architecture as a
blueprint. Oracle Fusion Architecture is not actually a product, and can
be used without licensing it from Oracle.
