OSGi Technology Value Proposition December 2013


the dynamic module system for Java

OSGi has seen a strong increase in adoption in a variety of markets.

OSGi provides a runtime environment that enables and enforces modularity in software development

Reduces Development and Maintenance Expenses Building systems from in-house and off-the-shelf modules significantly reduces complexity.

Non-restrictive Architecture Development teams almost always use a combination of several frameworks. OSGi doesn’t preclude you from doing so.

Applicable for any application type The OSGi modular architecture can be utilized in everything from large-scale distributed systems to small embedded applications.

The Benefits of OSGi Technology

Reduces Operational Costs OSGi based business systems are highly maintainable, adaptable, and allow rapid integration of multiple devices in a networked environment.

Alliance Activities

Device Abstraction

Device Abstraction Layer unifies the work of different protocols and media (wires, radio, plc)

•  Allows switching between different protocols with no effect on the upper layers.

Dynamic Loading

Many Applications, Many Devices

Enables new services and capabilities

Remote Management and Downloads

The machine-to-machine (M2M) industry is flooded with protocols

OSGi enables Dynamic Modular Applications:



•  Environment ‘aware’ assemble/recovery

•  Discovery of Resources, Services and Event Sources

•  Ongoing Configuration & Management

Alliance Activities

Cloud Computing An industry shift is moving away from the Virtual Machine

OSGi directly addresses the environmental dependencies of implementing and managing a Cloud Solution.

Avoid Middleware Service Lock-in By inverting the middleware stack

Conquer Infrastructure Fragility OSGi addresses the speed at which applications can be re-installed and changed
