## 1.1. Orchestra Overview

The new version of Orchestra 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 modelling 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 Orchestra FAQs on the Orchestra web site .
