Cape Clear is a vendor of ESB (Enterprise service bus) software, founded in 1999.
Cape Clear was a spin-off from IONA Technologies.[1] and was a privately held firm with headquarters in San Mateo, CA, and offices in Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Waltham, MA, Dublin, Ireland, and London, UK.
In November 2000, Cape Clear acquired Orbware[2][3][4]-a privately held UK-based software company founded in 1999 who were a Java EE licensee and whose OrCAS Enterprise Server product was a compact and high-performance implementation of the Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) and Java EE specifications.
Cape Clear made a final release of the OrCAS J2EE server product in February 2001[5] before the OrCAS product was merged with Cape Clear's CapeConnect XML integration server product. The combined product was named CapeConnect and was first released in April 2001 (Beta Release)[6] and May 2001 (Full Release)[7]
Cape Clear was identified as one of the leading ESB vendors by Forrester Research in July 2006.[8][9]
