IBM Smart Strategies for Web 2.0 Newsletter
Is it possible for business users to design their own applications? Are Web 2.0 methods and mashups ready for the rigors of enterprise-scale computing? In recent years, many organizations have become acquainted with the power and agility of service-oriented architecture (SOA), in which enterprise applications are abstracted as flexible, standardized and componentized services available to other systems or applications. Now, as organizations become more service enabled, they are recognizing that a new generation of approaches – often referred to as either “Web 2.0” or “Enterprise 2.0” – can now extend this flexibility and agility seen on the back end to the front end.
Twelve Common SOA Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
In this research report, Gartner analyst, Massimo Pezzini outlines twelve mistakes that are commonly made when organizations are setting up their SOA infrastructure. Agility, incremental software engineering, software sharing (reuse) and lower cost of heterogeneous operations are among the promises of a mature service-oriented architecture (SOA). However, achieving these benefits often entails overcoming formidable technical, organizational and political hurdles. View this research report and learn how you can avoid these twelve common mistakes and maximize your chances for SOA success!
The End of Middleware
Middleware is one of the largest consumers of precious IT resources, but fortunately it does not need to be. View this white paper to learn how organizations can create an agile enterprise by eliminating dependencies on centralized architectures and reusing existing infrastructure components.
High-Performance SOA Management with a Virtual Services Environment
Eliminating the Real-world Constraints on Application Performance Testing with Virtual Services Environments by John Michelsen, iTKO Chief Scientist & Founder How can we leverage leading Load & Performance testing tools such as HP (Mercury) LoadRunner, and Borland SilkPerformer in our test lab, by leveraging Virtualization to give IT a ready test bed at the speed of change in today's business? LISA Virtual Service Environment allows development, testing and performance teams to achieve better service levels, while saving as much as 90% of the cost of replicating each application environment. Today's interconnected systems such as fully integrated packaged applications, ESB-based enterprise platforms, and SOA make ensuring high-performance from application components and solutions increasingly difficult. On top of that complexity, we are increasingly supporting technologies that are built and managed by distributed teams, both across organizational and geographic boundaries. This foundational paper will show you how to leverage LISA VSE in your existing Performance Testing lab, by demonstrating examples from leading enterprise IT shops who are delivering high-performance, critical applications.
Increasing the Effectiveness and Efficiency of SOA Through Governance - 2008 SOA Governance Survey Report
SOA is an important architectural direction that’s impacting IT organizations from top to bottom. As more and more companies move toward implementing services-oriented architectures for new (or existing) solutions, IT organizations have to learn how to deploy, manage and update SOA-based infrastructures effectively and efficiently. That’s where SOA governance comes in. A new survey conducted by ebizQ finds that SOA governance is critical to any SOA strategy. SOA governance provides organizations with the processes, policies and solutions/technologies that can help to manage increasingly complex SOA deployments in an effective and efficient manner.
