Evolving Applications for SOA and Virtualization Allow Greater Connectivity
|
To address key IT goals of standardization, interoperability, and reusability to help address business needs including time-to-market pressures, competitive differentiation, compliance, and cost control, enterprises of all size classes and industries are embracing the concepts of system and application virtualization and dynamic connectivity. These desires converge with the overwhelming market trend to leverage centralized, shared IT resources supplied by both internal and external parties. To enable this, it is becoming more pertinent to utilize system environments and industry-standard protocols and allow for greater connectivity. As testimony to this trend, service oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services continue to amass tremendous market interest and expanding levels of adoption.
Briefly defined, SOA promotes the utilization of autonomous application and system "services" abstracted from one another, independent of implementation. Ideally, an SOA should be modular, with separate layers of functional code, data, workflow, and presentation interfaces.
