Creating a Services-Oriented Infrastructure for Your SOA

Overview Managing applications within a service-oriented architecture (SOA) is tricky because of the many variables that can affect application performance. Often, network administrators are forced to over-provision hardware and software resources to deal with demand swings.

This paper discusses an SOA management tool that eliminates the expensive over-provisioning problem by:

Monitoring the performance of a composite application as a single unit
Analyzing system and network resources that affect application performance
Re-allocating network resources automatically to ensure that all applications meet applicable service-level agreements (SLAs)
