Appendix A. Appendix: List of ESB Vendors

The following is the known list of ESB vendors at the time of publishing. To be included in this list, vendors simply had to make a public statement that they have an ESB, intend to provide an ESB in the near future, or are using ESB terminology in their marketing materials.

I will do my best to keep this list up to date with subsequent reprints of this book.
