UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIPS SOA Cloud Computing Enterprise Architecture

SOA AND CLOUD COMPUTING One can consider cloud computing the extension of SOA out to cloud-delivered resources, such as storage-as-a-service, data-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service -- you get the idea. The trick is to determine which services, information, and processes are good candidates to reside in the clouds, as well as which cloud services should be abstracted within the existing or emerging SOA. Cloud Computing Services On-Demand Database On-Demand Applications On-Demand Platform On-Demand SOA Shared Services Shared Information Shared Processes Agility Integration Governance

THREE LAYERS OF CLOUD COMPUTING Software as a Service (SaaS) Finished applications that you rent and customize Platform as a Service (PaaS) Developer platform that abstracts the infrastructure, OS and middleware to drive developer productivity Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Deployment platform that abstracts the infrastructure

IT IS SKEPTICAL IT is understandably skittish about cloud computing. However, many of the cloud computing resources out there will actually provide better service than on-premise. Security and performance are still issues. Also, control.

SECURITY AND MATURITY TOP LIST OF CONCERNS FOR CLOUD SERVICES

CONSIDER PRIVATE CLOUDS “ Private Cloud Computing is Real – Get Over It” - Tom Bittman – Gartner

CONSIDERING CLOUDS However, not so fast. Not all computing resources should exist in the clouds, private or public. Cloud computing is not always cost effective. Do your homework before making the move.

CLOUD COMPUTING A Fit When: Processes, applications, and data are largely independent Points of integration are well defined Lower level of security is fine Core internal enterprise architecture is healthy Web is the desired platform Cost is an issue Applications are new Not A Fit When: Processes, applications, and data are largely coupled Points of integration are not well defined Higher level of security is required Core internal enterprise architecture needs work The application requires a native interface Cost is an issue Application is legacy

PATH TO THE CLOUDS Path to clouds: start with the architecture Understand: Mission drivers Information under management Existing services under management Core business processes
