Service Oriented Architecture and What It Means to Capacity Management

Overview Besides the variety of claims, there are a multitude of "SOA" solutions being offered, usually in a form that touts a vendor's own proprietary hardware and software solutions; actions somewhat in conflict with SOA's goal of transparent interoperability.
