Techopedia Explains Integration Server

An integration server is primarily implemented in IT environments that are composed of IT products and solutions from different platforms and/or architectures. It also serves as a middleware server, serving as an intermediate server between different layers.

An integration server is typically deployed in two different models.

  1. Hub and spoke model: In this model, all applications and services connect to an integration server through a central server. The integration server provides and manages the interoperations, integration, translation and other services between distinct applications and services.

  2. Network-centric bus model: In this model, applications and services connect to the integration server through the core network medium. The integration server communicates and provides interoperability between applications and services over the network.
