SOA Management is a topic I often talk about, get feedback is mixed, it is because of the willingness and the means lack of understanding. Regardless of your organization begins SOA long, SOA management are required to pay more attention. I will first explain the reasons for SOA management needs to pay attention and then turn to the areas requiring attention.
But before I begin, I would first like to clarify SOA management and SOA governance differences. For me, SOA management is a part of SOA governance. SOA governance is a process, standards and policies to govern the implementation of SOA. A complete SOA governance solution design registry, store, manage change, service control, service quality, safety and so on.
Here I will only talk about SOA management, and for most companies is service control, security, business process visibility and exception event handling.
First, let us look at the conventional wisdom. Organizations often believe that they do not need SOA management, because the business does not have enough power. Or, said: "In our SOA architecture has not set up when you need SOA management?" This kind of thinking right? You can, after reading this article to make their own decisions.
I have earlier alluded to the implementation of SOA like a trip, your organization must reach a certain SOA maturity takes time. SOA implementation at a certain point in time, SOA will be involved in the management come in, for two reasons:
Your SOA architecture will be a single silo-based applications and business functions into a distributed service. With the increase in flexibility and sensitivity, security and access control complexity increases. This requires new ideas on management tools.
Even in the SOA-based environment, your organization will also need the visibility of SOA architecture. Visibility requirements include business processes, services, use, performance bottlenecks and so on. As your environment becomes increasingly fragmented, using existing management tools will be gradual loss of visibility. Therefore, when the SOA to promote your business, you need to SOA for the management of your environment to go beyond the traditional systems management.
This is the right time to do SOA development?
What, then, when is the right time to consider SOA management do? This time should be earlier or later than the SOA deployment of your period? Determinants include the following:
An access control and security are key issues raised by SOA management. Therefore, SOA management should be your SOA infrastructure an integral part of the whole, rather than join the organization. From reality, you need to consider security early in the SOA project and control.
With proper planning, SOA Management SOA will reduce the cost of the project implementation. It is widely recognized that the project cycle changes occurred in the early / late for the repair compared to the impact is even smaller. In other words, the more you later decide to SOA management to resolve the issues raised on the impact of decisions before you have done will be greater, but the price is often enormous.
