Progress Software is announcing on Monday its Actional 7 products, for SOA management.

Actional 7 consists of three SOA management products: Progress Actional for SOA Operations, Progress Actional for Continuous Service Optimization and Progress Actional for Active Policy Enforcement. Each product is intended to address a business need and contribute to a governance strategy that addresses potential SOA runtime risks, Progress said.

The SOA Operations product provides end-to-end visibility across an SOA. The Continuous Service Optimization piece furnishes a business context to manage SOA behavior to meet business goals. Active Policy Enforcement ensures compliance with security and regulatory policies and provides centralized management.

All products in the Actional 7 package are sold separately and will be available in June.

Progress acquired Actional in 2006.
