12 December 2005
Capgemini Senior Architect Alix Cheema participated in the latest WebSphere Technical Podcast on developerWorks from IBM. The podcast explores what you need to consider when deploying the SOA operating environment in your IT system. It discusses the four key principles of an SOA operating environment: separation of concerns, loose coupling, reuse, and quality of service.
This podcast covers what you need to know about deploying in an SOA operating environment:
- The SOA operating environment provides the principle of “separation of concerns” to create loosely coupled, reusable services on a stable, predictable, and flexible IT infrastructure.
- The reduced complexity from separation of concerns and increased modularity allow for quicker delivery of products and reduced maintenance issues.
- Loose coupling refers to the dependency between systems. The three important dimensions are technology, temporal, and implicit.
- Of the different types of reuse (component level, application level, and service level), service-level reuse offers the most compelling level of reuse. To truly realize service-level reuse, organizations must get better at component-level reuse, especially on a larger scale.
- Measuring the quality of the deployment requires that the deployed business processes, service interfaces, and underlying operational systems are allowed to provide real-time feedback of key performance indicators (KPIs).
- In response to requests from customers and Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners, IBM® is jointly delivering two specifications for building systems that use a SOA: Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO).
