State of SOA
Perceptions
SOA = IT centralization/standardization
“SOA is dead” (Anne Thomas Manes, Burton Group; January 2009)
Cloud computing will replace SOA
Reality
SOA does not solve all enterprise IT issues
SOA is complex, and difficult
Core value of SOA is agility, but needs vary
SOA demands change, but organizational resistance is often the biggest impediment
Need to focus on architecture, not technology

SOA Manifesto
http://www.soa-manifesto.org/
Service orientation is a paradigm that frames what you do.
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a type of architecture
that results from applying service orientation.
We have been applying service orientation to help organizations
consistently deliver sustainable business value, with increased agility
and cost effectiveness, in line with changing business needs.
Through our work we have come to prioritize:
Business value over technical strategy
Strategic goals over project-specific benefits
Intrinsic interoperability over custom integration
Shared servicesover specific-purpose implementations
Flexibilityover optimization
Evolutionary refinement over pursuit of initial perfection
That is, while we value the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

SOA Principles
Reuse
Granularity / Modularity / Componentization
Loose Coupling / Contractual Design
Interoperability / Standards Compliance
Abstraction / Encapsulation
Composability
Discoverability
Manageability

SOA Principles, Redux (for “Small SOA”)
Reuse
Granularity / Modularity / Componentization
Loose Coupling / Contractual Design
Interoperability / Standards Compliance
Abstraction / Encapsulation
Composability
Discoverability
Manageability

SOA, Meet Cloud Computing
SO-Architecture
A different approach to organize enterprise IT resources
Governance
Management
Strategic framework and planning
People and process
IT-as-a-Service
A different model to leverage computing resources
Service design
Higher-level abstraction
Tactical and incremental implementation
Data and technology

Some Considerations for the Cloud
Cloud as an extension of enterprise SOA
Resources beyond enterprise boundaries (“Intercloud”; networks without borders)
Loose-coupling everywhere (in service contracts, data relationships, process dependencies, identity, communication models, performance expectations, change management processes, etc.)
More trust needed (lower security requirements, virtual & shared infrastructure, multi-tenancy, Internet transit, etc.)
Different fault zones/domains, criticality tiers (one big monolithic SOA vs. federated distributed SOA)
New development efforts (instead of moving legacy applications into someone else’s data center)

Web as a Platform
“Intercloud” – an interconnected global “cloud of clouds”

Emerging Trends
De-perimeterization
Democratization of industries
Dynamic business models
Relationship networking core competencies
Shifting process centers of gravity
Plug-and-play IT architectures
Model-driven development
