Managing System z Mainframe SOA Environments - Strong IBM z/OS SOA Software Advances Key

Overview Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption has spread rapidly since 2003/2004 through large (and more recently medium) enterprises, and bringing compelling business benefits to its users. In parallel, the strong market resurgence of the IBM System z mainframe, powered by its continuing transformation, and deeply superior, business value-generating attributes, has continued apace, expanding its large footprints. This paper recaps the strong 2006 mainframe hardware advances. It then reviews the rapid rise of SOA, and the reasons for its wide success. It closely assesses and pinpoints why the System z mainframe platform is a perfect fit for SOA, for fifteen strong reasons.
