SOA Governance

Good architectural design to support business flexibility is fundamental when designing services oriented IT components. Also, in the loosely coupled world of SOA, there is danger you will lose control of those services.

By increasing the agility in IT systems, SOA helps you keep up with business changes, so you can respond more quickly at a lower cost. Better IT governance — We can help you define a governance model for core business processes, and determine how the roles people play in your organization need to evolve—both of which are critical to the success of your SOA initiative. Greater IT value — Because SOA unties your systems from  legacy investments, your team can move forward more quickly and with lower IT support costs. Your key people will have more time, budget and energy to spend on developing new products and services, engaging stakeholders, and executing strategy.

MW2 and HP partnership with SOA Center (Systinet and SOA Manager)

MW2 has a strong partnership with HP and has experienced resources to help you with your SOA initiatives.

Few trends in technology have garnered widespread attention like SOA. This is because the SOA promise is powerful, holding the potential to transform both IT and business. But this promise doesn’t come without a cost: SOA introduces new levels of complexity which can put business outcomes at risk. This is why governance has become an imperative and a foundational aspect of SOA initiatives today.

New Systinet release from HP Software

Systinet 2 is a complete SOA governance platform that accelerates adoption and mitigates the risk of SOA. Systinet 2 is the most complete SOA governance and lifecycle management platform available today, providing a trusted “system of record” and a complete set of capabilities for establishing the visibility, trust and control critical to SOA success:

  • VISIBILITY ensures that services can be easily found and understood by service consumers, and that consumers have access to a 360° view of a service at every phase of its lifecycle.
  • TRUST ensures that services are trustworthy through establishing consistency, interoperability, and formal explicit agreements between consumers and providers.
  • CONTROL ensures the successful management of the service lifecycle from introduction to retirement including understanding capacity needs and minimizing the overall impact of service changes.

SOA Manager from HP
The HP SOA Manager is the runtime component which monitors the services in the environment and manages the SLAs. The issue with SLAs is that performance is not dependent solely on the services themselves. It could be an app server or database issue. HP provides end-to-end traceability.

HP’s SOA management solution enables:

  • Discovery – Use an up-to-date service dependency map to automatically find the relationships between services, discover ungoverned “rogue" services and bring them under management Monitoring.
  • Gain visibility into performance or availability issues before they affect the business applications in order to meet SLAs Policy enforcement – 
  • Gain the full benefits of moving to SOA by creating, managing and enforcing policies at run-time Availability management.
  • Ascertain service availability with real and synthetic end-user experience and agent-less system and infrastructure monitoring Problem isolation.
  • Detect and isolate problems based on information from end user and infrastructure monitoring systems and drill down to find the root cause so it can be corrected.
