Service Oriented Architecture for Distributed Application Architecture
Overview The term "Service Oriented Architecture" (SOA) refers to a style of distributed application architecture in which key business applications and data are decomposed into discrete components, or "services," that have particular relevance for various business processes. The services can then be used as building blocks to create new "composite" applications that model new or more complex business processes. An SOA can also be compatible with the existing portfolio of business applications. For example, business process-related segments of legacy applications can be exposed as services that can be accessed by client systems or other applications/services. There are many potential benefits that an enterprise can derive by adopting an SOA style of application infrastructure. These include: • Backward compatibility with existing applications and data • Extended interoperability • Business agility and alignment of IT with business processes: • Increased productivity and cost effectiveness
