Enterprise Application Integration TechnologiesPeter R. Egli
Overview of Enterprise Application Integration Technologies.
Enterprise Application Integration, or EAI in short, aims at integrating different applications into an IT application landscape. Traditionally, EAI was understood as using the same communication infrastructure by all applications without service-orientation in mind. This meant that the benefits of a shared infrastructure were limited while driving up costs through additional integration platforms.
Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) brought a new paradigm by decomposing applications into reusable and shareable services. Service orientation requires careful design of services. A hierarchic scheme of services may help to define a suitable service decomposition.
While SOA is technically based on big web service technologies, namely SOAP, WSDL and BPEL, WOA or Web Oriented Architecture stands for the lightweight service paradigm. WOA makes use of REST-based technologies like JSON and HTTP.
In many cases, an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is used as an infrastructure element to achieve the technical integration of the services. The ESB core functions like message routing, filtering and transformation provide the mediation services required to integrate heterogeneous application landscapes.

Similar to Fusion Middleware Application Grid (20)
8. “ The maturation of application infrastructure virtualization technologies that enable dynamic, automated provisioning of EAS [application server]-based applications on grid-like clusters of commodity servers will support cloud-like, cost-optimized, elastic scalability” Gartner January 2009
Main point: open on a strong, positive note; make clear what products we’re talking about Hello everyone and welcome to this breakout on application grid. Application grid is a term we use to refer to an architecture and approach to foundation-level middleware, technologies such as application servers and transaction processing platforms. Within Oracle Fusion Middleware, these are probably best known to you with names such as WebLogic, Tuxedo, JRockit, and Coherence. You could think of these products as the “foundation of the foundation”. There are some very exciting innovations in these products for 11g, making the application grid vision more compelling than ever and truly strengthening the foundation as our title asserts.
Main point: protect ourselves legally This is our standard disclaimer--we will touch on some visionary things in this talk that should not be used for contractual purposes.
Main point: roadmap/structure for talk Today we’ll look at each of the products in the application grid family and cover some of the most exciting new capabilities and their benefits. Before we do that, we’ll set up some context and get a sense of the motivations and opportunities behind the application grid approach and the areas we’ve enhanced. We’ll wrap up with some customer case studies and pointers to more information.
Main point: the economic environment and IT trends drive these three areas to be top-of-mind The current economy drives two opposing demands on every enterprise’s IT strategy: the demand to be efficient, and the demand to be competitive. Lower growth, revenue, and/or profits in a down or flat economy mean lower budgets and more pressure to get the most out of what you’ve already got, whether it’s server, infrastructure software, or applications. At the same time, lower market growth means competition is more intense than ever, because your business’s growth can’t simply come from new customers entering the market—you have to win over your competitor’s customers. And of course they’re trying to do the same to you. This means that things like application responsiveness and reliability have to be better than that of your competitors. And finally, the combination of industry consolidation through M&A and continuous technology innovation mean you have to constantly rein in the sprawl by standardizing and simplifying—otherwise,the sheer complexity of your IT will undermine the efficiency and/or competitiveness we just talked about.
Main point: foundation-level middleware is critical for business efficiency, competitiveness, and simplification We’re talking here today about middleware, and in particular, the bottom of the middleware stack. The “foundation of the foundation” as we said earlier. What does this low-level stuff have to do with business-level efficiency, competitiveness, and simplification? A lot, as it turns out. The foundation is make-or-break for a number of fundamental characteristics of all layers of technology above it. In the efficiency area, it directly controls how well underlying resources such as hardware is utilized. The foundation’s support for management and automation have huge impact on the time and cost it takes to run your IT operations. In the competitiveness area, the most obvious impact is raw performance. Application-server-level technologies are critical to how much of the underlying hardware’s computing potential you can squeeze out for your applications. But it is also critical for reliability and flexibility. Super high performance that breaks all the time doesn’t help you retain customers. A foundation that is hard to change hinders your ability to innovate at a business level to compete. And finally, simplification. As the bottom of the stack, the foundation is a highly leveraged place to consolidate and standardize. The more consistent you can make this underlying layer across all your diverse applications and services, the more you can simplify and automate operational tasks.
Main point: a number of trends are leading us to the application grid approach This is the infamous Gartner hype curve, a sort of timeline showing how technologies typically burst into mainstream discussion with a rise of inflated expectations, then go through a period of downplay as they underfulfill those expectations, and ultimately reach a period where the world is more-or-less realistic about how to use them and what they can do. As examples, we can see how Web services and SOA are getting pretty mature. Service-oriented business and Web 2.0 are a bit behind—somewhat in the trough of disillusionment. Cloud computing, on the other hand, is on the explosion part of the curve. <click>Let’s focus on a couple of themes here and try to piece together what this means for foundation middleware. First, the proliferation of SOA means that applications are more and more composite entities, fragmented into finer-grained entities being managed across your infrastructure. At the same time, as SOA lives up to its promise of component reuse, the growth and volatility of load on these components can be significant. Resource sharing, at various levels of the stack, is also becoming much more prominent. Most famous in technologies such as server virtualization, this sharing can be enabled at the storage, memory, database, and application server levels. The need for efficiency and advances in technology drive this in a virtuous circle. Finally, the rise of cloud computing is driving new ways of thinking about what to do with shared services and how to get the most out of them. We’re not going to talk a lot about cloud computing here today, but note that it is both driving and being driven by many of the application grid concepts we’ll touch on today. Also note that this curve implies a coming period of disillusionment with inflated expectations for cloud. This does not mean there is no value in cloud, just that some folks will hype it beyond its substance. We will stay focused on the substantive aspects of cloud and not try to make absurd claims about it.
Main point: it’s not just Oracle talking about these concepts Here’s a quote from Gartner just a few months ago that captures some of the relationship between infrastructure technology, virtualization, grid computing, and cloud. [read quote]
Main point: define application grid and highlight its benefits as they relate to the opening slide; reinforce that app grid is necessary and the best approach in addressing today’s challenges So that brings us to “application grid”. What is it? You have a number of applications and services you need to support <click to bring up black boxes> and a set of resources to run them <click to bring up servers>. Traditionally there has been a highly siloed, dedicated stack approach to associated apps with resources. <click to bring up app grid pic> The application grid approach is about breaking down those silos and<click to bring up “pooling” text> sharing and pooling resources instead. <click to bring up “dynamic adjustment” text> By dynamically and automatically adjusting the allocation of resources across needs, you can get much higher utilization out of hardware because you’re not provisioning each application for its own worst case. You get higher reliability through the multiplicity of resources, and higher performance through parallelization. From this you address <click> efficiency with lower operational costs, competitiveness by enabling your business to outperform competitors with responsiveness and innovation, and <click> simplification by consolidating to a consistent foundation that has many synergies with the rest of the stack—particularly the Oracle stack.
Main point: explain why Oracle and tie in to overarching Fusion Middleware 11g messaging <click> So, everything we just talked about might appear to be achievable with any number of different technologies out there. Why Oracle? <click> first of all, the products we’re talking about here, WebLogic Server, JRockit, Tuxedo, Coherence, and Enterprise Manager, have a number of unique design advantages. The products are best-of-breed along many dimensions including performance, market share, etc. They are comprehensive in supporting not just Java but also C/C++/COBOL apps. Everything is open via standard APIs. And, these products are extremely well integrated with each other as well as the rest of the stack. <click> in the area of agility and intelligence, you’ll find the most advanced automation here in the individual product mechanisms as well as how plug into Enterprise Manager. Agility comes in a number of ways—how fast and easy it is to deploy apps on the grid, how easy and automated it is to adjust capacity, etc. <click> We take advantage of innovations—our own as well as the industry’s—in a number of ways. The latest Jrockit JVM allows you to get the most from 64-bit and multi-core CPUs. As we’ll see in more detail in a bit, there are significant cross-Oracle-stack synergies such as that between WebLogic Server and RAC.

Main point: overview for rest of presentation; we’ve achieved a lot with 11g Here’s a little preview into the rest of the presentation. With 11g, we’ve achieve a lot. A year ago, we said we’d integrate the BEA technologies in the next 18-24 months. In fact, we’ve achieved it in 12, with a fully converged application server. We’ve created tools that will make this the best upgrade experience ever. And we have numerous features, some of which are listed here and which we’ll go into in more detail, that are all directly beneficial to your business in terms of efficiency, competitiveness, and simplification.
Let’s start with the heart of WebLogic Suite and Java-based application grid, WebLogic Server
Main point: get everyone on the same page as to what an app server is and why it’s important So what is and application server, and why do we care? <click> first and foremost, it implements a set of industry standard APIs, Java EE, and the quality of implementing these standards is make-or-break for performance and reliability, two linchpins of competitiveness. <click> Beyond what’s specified in the industry standards, application server vendors do different things in the way of clustering, integration, and management. These are directly related to scalability, flexibility, and how easy it is to manage not just a single application server instance, but you infrastructure in aggregate. These things drive our business goals of efficiency and simplicity.
Main point: the BEA integration is done, and both WebLogic and OC4J customers in the audience should be happy As we mentioned earlier, WebLogic Server 11g represents a phenomenal 12-month development exercise in converging the world’s leading application server technologies. Let’s look at this in more detail. At a macro level, the converged container includes modules from both roots, such as WebLogic Server’s clustering and OC4J’s RAC integration and diagnostics capabilities. <click> On top of this application server is certified the rest of the Oracle middleware stack, and note that WebLogic Server 11g includes the OC4J support for Forms, Reports, Portal, etc. as well as SOA, BPM, WebCenter, Identity Management, etc. <click> Finally note that this the platform of choice for both custom apps and packaged apps; in particular it is the platform for the forthcoming Oracle Fusion Applications.
Main point: upgrading to 11g is fast and easy With 11g, we’ve put a tremendous effort into enabling, accelerating, and generally automating the upgrade process to make it as painless as possible. This screen-shot shows a step of the upgrade process with navigation through a report identifying artifacts and metadata that need to be upgraded, indications of their priority and complexity, and links to automation.
Main point: proof point that WebLogic Server is #1 In terms of competitiveness and the ability to outperform your competition on raw application responsiveness, WebLogic Server has long been and continues to be the highest performance application server in the market, holding world records in all categories of the SPECjAppServer benchmark.
Main point: GridLink for RAC, new in 11g, makes WebLogic Server-RAC integration easier, more reliable, and higher performance An important new feature for WebLogic Suite 11g is GridLink for RAC. This is an integration between WebLogic Server clusters with “multi data sources” and Database RAC. <click>You have a clustered database using RAC, <click> you have clusters of WebLogic Server using multi data sources. GridLink optimizes the integration of these two clustering mechanisms for the highest possible grid reliability and performance and makes it much easier to set up than in the past. This RAC optimization is leveraged by upper layers of the Fusion Middleware stack, is the only RAC integration highlighted in industry benchmarks such as SPECjAppServer, and is the only one with declarative configuration rather than requiring programming. This is an excellent example of BEA integration into Oracle Fusion middleware and an example of why WebLogic Suite is the best foundation for your entire stack.
Main point: Enterprise Grid Messaging is another example of integration that improves performance and simplifies things WebLogic Server has been know for excellence in Java Message Service (JMS) messaging for a long time. With 11g, we’ve further refined and improved the performance of that mechanism and it’s particular capabilities: unit of order, unit of work, store-and-forward, and distributed destinations. In another example of BEA integration, and cross-stack synergy that makes WebLogic Suite the best platform for your Oracle infrastructure, we’ve tightened the integration with Oracle AQ queuing, making this easier to set up and higher performance. You now have numerous options for message persistence with WebLogic Server JMS, including file, database, AQ, and even bridges to other systems such as .NET. And from the client side, the picture is also highly heterogeneous, with many die-hard .NET shops using WebLogic Server JMS as their messaging backbone.
Let’s take a brief look at an important underpinning to the application server, the JRockit JVM
Main point: the JVM is a critical underpinning of application server/application grid performance and instrumentation JRockit is the advanced Java Virtual Machine technology we acquired from BEA. Every Java application, whether it uses an application server or not, ultimately runs on a JVM, which is make-or-break for performance. Jrockit holds the world record for performance according to the industry benchmark SPECjbb. In addition, the JVM in an important place to obtain metrics like latency and memory usage, which drive optimization decisions higher in the stack. JRockit has by far the best instrumentation, which can run continuously in production due to its zero-overhead characteristic. JRockit Real Time is the only JVM that can get bounded, predictable latency from *standard* Java—no code change required. And with the latest release for 11g JRockit automatically exploits and uses all cores in multi-core chips, taking full advantage of this industry hardware trend.
With the combination of WebLogic Server and JRockit, you have and extremely reliable and high-performance foundation for application grid. Let’s look now at a technology that takes that to the next level, Coherence.
Main point: memory is becoming highly inexpensive; Java needs help making use of it Memory is becoming highly inexpensive; Java needs help making use of it due to garbage collection, operating system limitations, and other issues. An alternative approach is needed.
Main point: define Coherence Coherence is an in-memory data grid. The basic function of this is to use the memory of multiple machines as if it were all local, appearing to the application as a single contiguous block of memory. Coherence makes effective use of even huge memory on each machine. By replicating objects and holding them in memory close to where the computation is carried out, both reliability and performance are greatly improved. Nodes can be added and removed dynamically, meaning Coherence is an important mechanism to support application grid’s dynamic capacity adjustment across shared resources. And Coherence can scale to literally thousands of nodes.
Main point: give a sense of where Coherence is helpful The Coherence in-memory data grid can be used anywhere where performance is important or critical and where performance can be improved by holding more data in memory. It is great for fault-tolerance needs due to its replication and automated fail-over. Use cases involving frequent access to shared data, such as Web-based applications fronting a large data store, are excellent candidates.
Main point: ActiveCache makes it particularly easy to turbocharge Web-based applications with no code change ActiveCache is an important new feature in 11g, and another example of integration and cross-stack synergy. This enables very simple configuration of WebLogic Server-based Web applications to store Web session state in a Coherence data grid. This allows very large data-sets such as the result-sets from large search queries to be held in memory for both reliability and responsiveness.
Let’s switch gears for a bit and leave the Java world to see what application grid has to offer the C/C++/COBOL world.
Main point: Tuxedo is still very important and relevant. Let’s start by calibrating everyone on the importance of Tuxedo. Tuxedo runs an amazing share of the world’s transactions. We naturally assume that much of enterprise computing is in Java, but in fact it’s not. The applications represented here are not trivial, foot-in-the-door test apps just so we can use the logo—in each of these cases a Tuxedo-based solution handles a major share of the respective company’s mission-critical transaction volume. That in itself speaks for Tuxedo’s awesome reliability, availability, scalability, and performance.
Main point: Tuxedo very much instantiates the application grid vision and architecture Think of Tuxedo as an application server for C, C++, and COBOL applications. Tuxedo is the #1 distributed transaction processing platform in the world, with 2/3 market share. It has been around for more two decades, with roots in Bell Laboratories as the basis for telephone billing systems. This translates to an unmatched level of debugging and tuning, making Tuxedo arguably the most reliable and performance-optimized piece of software on Earth. In addition, it has clustering capabilities that make it an excellent basis for an application grid architecture.
Main point: one of the primary use cases for Tuxedo is rehosting mainframe applications. One of the primary use cases for Tuxedo is rehosting mainframe applications. In most cases this is a straightforward recompile of the mainframe code, with a very small amount of integration code reworked with significant aid from automated conversion tools. Rehosting on Tuxedo is an excellent way to preserve investment, reduce ongoing operational costs by as much as 80%, and modernize legacy assets with simplified SOA enablement.
Main point: roadmap/structure for talk Today we’ll look at each of the products in the application grid family and cover some of the most exciting new capabilities and their benefits. Before we do that, we’ll set up some context and get a sense of the motivations and opportunities behind the application grid approach and the areas we’ve enhanced. We’ll wrap up with some customer case studies and pointers to more information.
Main point: define Enterprise Manager and set context for WebLogic Server features For those not familiar with it, Oracle Enterprise Manager is Oracle’s management solution that spans all Oracle products <click> It is a family of products with a unified console and framework into which plugs specific modules or “packs” pertinent to the particular Oracle products you have in your infrastructure. Enterprise Manager also manages non-Oracle products and can server as the comprehensive, unified management system across your data center. We’ll look here at a few of the Enterprise Manager capabilities relating to WebLogic Suite.
Main point: drill down to how EM relates to application grid Enterprise Manager’s main console, referred to as “grid control” provides the best way to manage your application grid. It encompasses management functionality supported by WebLogic Server, Coherence, and JRockit, as well as Tuxedo. As a unified console, it allows you to automated tasks across thousands of systems, with excellent productivity aids such as groups, templates, and policies. In particular, it allows you to expand your application grid by automating provisioning and patching tasks and orchestrating complex rollout cycles.
Main point: lots of new management features for 11g For WebLogic Suite 11g, we’ve rolled out a host of new management features under the moniker “real operations”. We’ve grouped these into two categories, Real Operations Automation, which refers to enabling mechanisms in WebLogic Server itself that plug into and are controlled by Enterprise Manager, and Real Operations Insight, which refers to metrics sent from the various WebLogic Suite components into Enterprise Manager for visualization and as inputs to automation. <click> In the first category we have domain templates, WebLogic Server scripting, the clustering mechanism, and the deployment mechanism. Note that a big plus in 11g is the ability to manage WebLogic Server across domains. <click>In the Real Operations Insight area we have fine-grained monitoring, aggregation of data into single screens with effective visualization, capabilities specific to diagnosing faults, and the soon-to-come Fusion Middleware Adaptive Services Manager. Adaptive Services Manager is a module specifically aimed at simplifying the application deployment process and subsequent adjustment of resourcing, critical to extending the application grid vision.
Ok, we’ve covered a lot of ground. Now let’s take a look at what some customers are doing with these technologies.
NA
NA+EMEA Why Oracle? The Pirelli group carefully considered its requirements when selecting an application server. First, Pirelli wanted to manage its new infrastructure centrally, ensuring that it was open and could scale to cover both the number of sites and the type of content and services provided. It also wanted to ensure optimal interoperability, above all within the Java 2 environment. Finally, it wanted to introduce dynamic Web sites that enabled it to easily develop core structure applications, such as the fitment chart, the dealer locator, and the product catalog, and all the applications concerning investor relations, such as the interactive calendar and Really Simple Syndication (RSS).
Main point: roadmap/structure for talk Today we’ll look at each of the products in the application grid family and cover some of the most exciting new capabilities and their benefits.
