System p Configurations for SOA Entry Point whitepapers
IBM System p for SOA Entry Points Overview
This paper presents an overview of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), describes why a server platform that can reliably accommodate dynamic IT demand is needed and demonstrates why an SOA infrastructure should be trusted to IBM System p servers.
Process
IBM System p Planning & Configuration Guide for SOA Entry Point — Process
The document provides guidelines for building a Service Oriented Architecture Business Process Management platform using IBM System p servers to support the deployment. The primary focus is on planning for physical deployment and the server configurations needed for such a platform.
IBM System p Planning and Configuration Guide for SOA Entry Point — People
The document provides guidelines for building Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) People Entry Point solutions using IBM System p servers to support the deployment. The primary focus is on planning for physical deployment and the server configurations needed for such a platform.
IBM System p Reference Architecture for SOA Entry Point — People
This paper describes several possible IBM System p architectures as platforms for implementing the SOA People Entry Point and discusses available software components, server selection, and system architecture.
Reuse
IBM System p Reference Architecture for SOA Entry Point – Reuse
This paper describes the implementation of the Reuse Entry Point for SOA–based solutions running on IBM System p servers and discusses the benefits that a carefully architected reuse solution may provide your business. Several of the key System p and IBM software products used to implement reuse are described with a focus on how these fit into the broader enterprise SOA solution environment.
Connectivity
IBM System p Planning and Configuration Guide for SOA Entry Point — Connectivity
The document provides guidelines for building Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Connectivity Entry Point solutions using IBM System p™ servers to support the deployment. The primary focus is on planning for physical deployment and the server configurations needed for such a platform. The server configuration discussions include selection of servers, virtualization and I/O connectivity but not software configurations. Although this document is written primarily for system administrators, material is provided in this document to satisfy a diverse audience.
IBM Systemp p Reference Architecture for SOA Entry Point — Connectivity
True connectivity is the ability to link people, processes and information in your business with a seamless flow of messages and information from virtually anywhere at anytime. SOA brings new levels of flexibility to such linkages while the Connectivity Entry Point is designed to help you simplify your IT environment with more secure, reliable and scaleable ways of connecting within and beyond your business. This paper provides a reference architecture for the implementation of the Connectivity Entry Point for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based solutions running on IBM
System p™ servers.
Information
IBM System p Planning and Configuration Guide for SOA Entry Point – Information
The document provides guidelines for building Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Information Entry Point solutions using IBM System p servers. The primary focus is on planning for physical deployment and the server configurations needed for such a platform. The server configuration discussions include selection of servers, virtualization and I/O connectivity. Software configurations are not in the scope of this document. This document is written primarily for system administrators.
IBM System p Reference Architecture for SOA Entry Point – Information
Designed to help you establish a common view of data across an enterprise and to ensure that the right information is available when and where it is needed, the Information Entry Point can drive competitive business advantage. Focused on the information integration and master data management aspects of the Information Entry Point, this paper describes the architectural elements of the entry point, including hardware and software, then builds on this to develop a high level architectural model for implementing information as a service on IBM System p servers.
