  • ESB and SOA Infrastructure
    eBook ESB and SOA Infrastructure The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a form of plumbing that enables effective SOA implementation. But understanding the ESB remains an industry-wide quest. Open source consultant Jeff Genender lists a message bus first on his list of the basic building blocks of a successful SOA infrastructure. And yet, some recent Forrester survey results show that first-time SOA infrastructure purchases maybe shifting from ESBs to other SOA technologies.

After many years and many implementations, what they do, how they do it and whether specific products can help create a SOA are all still matters of contention. Chris Harding, a forum director for SOA and client computing at The Open Group, argues that there isn’t always clarity regarding the nature of ESBs.

We design a basic set of performance scenarios to cover basic usage patterns of integration platforms. We formalize the scenarios that are already implemented for SwitchYard, and we develop three new sce- narios. All fifteen scenarios are implemented for JBoss Fuse using Per- fCake and tweaked to be optimal from the performance point of view. In addition performance test execution is automated in distributed en- vironment using Jenkins and SmartFrog.

Integraatiototeu- tusten tulee olla tarpeeksi joustavia, jotta ne pystyvät mukautumaan mahdollisiin muu- toksiin. Toteutukseen voidaan käyttää apuna eri sovelluskehyksiä, mutta ne eivät vält- tämättä takaa mitään standardoitua tapaa tehdä integraatio. Tätä varten on luotu joukko ohjeita (Enterprise Integration Patterns, EIP), jotka kuvaavat hyväksi havaittuja tapoja tehdä integraatioita. Tässä työssä keskitytään näiden mallien tutkimiseen ja siihen, miten niitä voidaan hyödyntää yritysjärjestelmissä. Jotta tutkimukseen saadaan konkreettinen vertailutulos, erään järjestelmän integraatioratkaisu tullaan päivittämään uuteen. Uusi ratkaisu hyödyntää sovelluskehystä,

  • Governing a Distributed SOA
    Header 1 Governing a Distributed SOA IONA Technologies September 2007 Governing a Distributed SOA 2 Executive Summary While the advantages of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) are apparent to most organizations, the challenge of governing the SOA infrastructure still remains a concern for leading enterprises. As organizations incorporate their IT assets into networks of reusable services they are challenged with how to enforce service reuse and how to govern proper usage. Information about what services exist and how to use them are often inconsistently documented in multiple locations and formats, making it difficult to reuse services and enforce policies. Compounding the challenge of SOA governance is the advent of the distributed architecture, which analysts predict will become the prevailing deployment model for SOA in the coming years. A distributed, microkernel design delivers a lightweight, flexible runtime that can be deployed at the endpoints, as opposed to the centralized, hub-and-spoke middleware solutions traditionally offered by most SOA vendors today. These vendors are racing to deliver microkernel-based SOA infrastructure solutions to market, proving distributed architecture is a superior SOA design model. While a distributed architecture allows organizations to better leverage existing IT investments, adopt SOA incrementally and avoid vendor lock-in, its distributed nature creates additional governance challenges. Organizations must drive and streamline the deployment of services into a distributed SOA network across many systems and locations, as opposed to governing services in the more centralized architecture created using traditional middleware solutions. While the challenge of SOA governance with a distributed SOA may seem daunting at first, innovative tools are available today to help leading enterprises achieve SOA success.

  • When to Use Open Source
    When to Use Open Source Making the right decisions about open source and commercially licensed SOA software Large corporations have traditionally relied on commercially licensed (“closed source”) software for mission-critical infrastructure, but open source solutions are increasingly common in enterprise architecture. As open source technologies have earned a reputation for reliability and performance, enterprise IT organizations now deploy a mix of open and closed source software with great success. Open source software is developed collaboratively and is owned by a community rather than a single vendor. The source code is freely available, and users are permitted and encouraged to change, improve, and redistribute the software – subject to the terms of the open source license. The benefits of open source software include: Code Transparency – Enterprises enjoy full access to the source code of an open source solution, so their IT infrastructure isn’t running on a black box of proprietary code. Standards Support – Open source projects tend to be designed to support industry standards, and to interoperate with other open source and commercial technologies. Cost savings – Users do not pay a license fee to adopt open source software nor do they pay for updates, significantly reducing total cost of the project. Vendor-neutrality – True open source software is developed and owned by a developer community, so open source adopters are not locked in to a vendor’s platform by proprietary modules and technical prerequisites. Innovation – With a large community that includes end users contributing to the project, open source software provides a practical vehicle for the latest technology advancements. Despite these benefits, deploying open source software can introduce some risk: open source solutions do not always have the support and services typically provided by commercial software vendors.
