SOA Integration

SOA Integration: Easier Said Than Done

In theory, SOA integration breaks down barriers between silos of legacy and packaged applications and new service functionality to enable the interoperability of any technology, anywhere it's deployed. In practice, many SOA projects bog down when services need to cross applications or geographical and organizational boundaries. Simply put, it's hard to bridge the incompatibilities of disparate computing resources such as Web services, J2EE, .NET, mainframe, and packaged application technologies, and to connect systems owned by different organizations across networking site boundaries.

However, with technical heterogeneity the rule in most organizations, and business agility based on flexible service reuse the goal of SOA, companies need fast and reliable SOA integration.

Register to replay the webinar, Faster SOA Integration with Progress Sonic ESB, and hear how you can break down the barriers between legacy and packaged applications and build an SOA infrastructure that will cross enterprise application boundaries.

Progress Infrastructure Designed for SOA Integration

The solution is an enterprise service bus (ESB), and Progress Software designed the Progress® Sonic ESB® specifically to enable SOA integration in complex distributed organizations. Based on open standards, the Sonic ESB:

  • Connects disparate new and existing applications and IT resources by intelligent routing based on service content or other attributes
  • Mediates incompatibilities allowing hard-coded dependencies to be eliminated for SOA flexibility
  • Orchestrates service interactions using the standards-based Progress® Sonic™ BPEL Server™

In particular, the Sonic BPEL server:

  • Composes processes out of existing services and processes
  • Correlates events within and across a running process (including events in the ESB)
  • Controls complex flows such as conditionals, loops, delays, and scoped state
  • Manages concurrent, long-running service interactions
  • Compensates for completed activities in the event of failure

Faster, More Flexible SOA Integration

As a result, the Sonic ESB delivers the promise of SOA integration, including

  • Reduced time and effort to integrate new and existing applications
  • Increased flexibility to change complex system behavior and reuse services by minimizing hidden dependencies among applications, services, and middleware in a distributed environment
  • Openness to meet future needs through the use of industry-standards interfaces and protocols
  • Improved responsiveness to change business processes and the ability to respond to special business conditions
  • Lower total cost of ownership
