Petals ESB is an open-source ESB developed by Linagora. It is a tool for implementing a service-oriented architecture (SOA). It is standard, modular, and physically distributed, to adapt to large-scale infrastructures.

Petals ESB is based on JBI (JSR 208) industry specification. It was the first ESB certified by Sun Microsystems under the JSR 208 TCK.{{Cite web |url=http://ebmwebsourcing.com/blog/trackback/christophehamerling/Weblog/petals_certified_by_sun_microsystems |title=(2008), Christophe Hamerling, PEtALS Certified JSR-208 by SUN Microsystem |access-date=2008-09-10 |archive-date=2018-10-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181024035221/https://www.ebmwebsourcing.com/blog/trackback/christophehamerling/Weblog/petals_certified_by_sun_microsystems |url-status=dead }} Based on standards, it also supports SOA standards such as BPMN and Enterprise Integration Patterns capabilities.
