Mule ESB is lightweight but highly scalable, allowing you to start small and connect more applications over time. Mule manages all the interactions between applications and components transparently, regardless of whether they exist in the same VIRTUAL machine or over the Internet, and regardless of the underlying transport PROTOCOL used.

There are currently several commercial ESB implementations on the market. However, many of these provide limited FUNCTIONALITY or are built on top of an existing application server or messaging server, locking you into that specific VENDOR. Mule is vendor-neutral, so different vendor implementations can plug in to it. You are never locked in to a specific vendor when you use Mule.
