## About WSO2 Data Analytics Server

WSO2 Data Analytics Server is a lean, fully-open source, complete solution for aggregating and analyzing data and presenting information about business activities. It provides real-time visibility into distributed complex systems, including service-oriented architecture (SOA) processes, transactions and workflows.

WSO2 Data Analytics Server 3.1.0 developed on top of the revolutionary Carbon platform (Middleware a' la carte), and is based on OSGi which provides better modularity for your SOA architecture.

## About WSO2 Carbon

WSO2 Carbon is a component based Enterprise SOA platform. The design of WSO2 Carbon focuses on separating the key functionality of the SOA platform into separate pluggable Carbon components that can be mixed and matched, like customizable building blocks. This allows you to add only the functionality you need to start up, and continue to add product capabilities as your requirements grow. This helps a business to quickly adapt to changes.

OSGi is used as the underlying core modularization technology to build the Carbon platform. The Carbon framework is shipped with Eclipse Equinox by default, but can be supported on Spring dm Server, Felix or Knoplerfish if required. The OSGi technology even allows you to write your business functionality as an OSGi component and deploy it in the existing Carbon platform.

For a quick start on using the WSO2 Carbon platform, the Carbon components are pre-assembled into the following products:

- WSO2 Enterprise Integrator
- WSO2 Governance Registry
- WSO2 Application Server
- WSO2 Business Rules Server
- WSO2 Business Process Server
- WSO2 Identity Server
- WSO2 Data Services Server
- WSO2 Data Analytics Server

You can assemble your own products by combining components and deploying them in a preferred architecture.

The WSO2 Carbon platform gives maximum flexibility to adapt the middleware to your enterprise architecture, rather than adapt your architecture to the middleware.
