Architecture
Based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and a J2EE, XML, and Unicode foundation, Alero is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) specifically designed for the management and integration of enterprise information.

By combining an innovative design and a powerful architecture based on multi-tier, web based, Service-Oriented architecture with a myriad of information services, Alero delivers a light-weight framework that provides unlimited scalability and distribution capabilities to meet even the most complex requirements; eliminates common software industry dependencies like the number of servers, platforms, databases, repositories, vendors, and data types supported in a single system; and reduces the time required to develop, integrate, deploy, maintain and support a complex solution to a fraction of the time compared to traditional solutions.

And with one central point of configuration and management, complex systems comprised of numerous disparate servers, sometimes geographically disperse, can be managed as a single centralized system. Alero truly enables organizations to change and evolve dynamically to meet market requirements.
