IT managers have long had to deal with the challenge of shifting IT processing resources during periods of peak activity—such as dealing with unpredictable surges in Internet traffic or processing increased levels of stock transactions. While embracing a service oriented architecture (SOA) strategy means improved business flexibility, it also brings new challenges for the underlying IT infrastructure.
Today’s businesses require flexibility and agility out of their information systems. Success with SOA requires a flexible, robust infrastructure that can be used in conjunction with your existing infrastructure and IT assets to create additional business value. Getting started with SOA is easier with the System p Configurations for SOA Entry Points—an integrated, open standards-based set of software, hardware and best practices for SOA.
SOA is a business-centric IT architectural approach that supports integrating business processes as linked, repeatable tasks or services. SOA helps to build composite applications, which are applications that draw upon functionality from multiple sources within and beyond the enterprise to support horizontal business processes.
