## 1.1. Nova Orchestra Overview

Nova Orchestra is the name of new version of Orchestra.

“Nova” technology is based on the “Process Virtual Machine” conceptual model for processes. The Process Virtual Machine defines a generic process engine enabling support for multiple process languages (such BPEL, XPDL…).

On top of that, it leads to a pluggable and embeddable design of process engines that gives modeling freedom to the business analyst. Additionally, it enables the developer to leverage process technology embedded in a Java application.

For more information about the Process Virtual Machine, check Nova Orchestra FAQs on the Orchestra web site .
