Service Infrastructure
for managing SOAs in heterogeneous IT environments
|
|
Business agility depends
on the free flow of information, services,
and business processes across the organization.
This flow may be stymied by the heterogeneous
nature of the typical large enterprise's
IT environment. Multiple platforms (such
as IBM, BEA, Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle)
and technologies (J2EE, .NET, legacy, etc.)
require IT to hard-code the point-to-point
connections, hampering information flow
and slowing the delivery of new business
services.
|
|
Service-Oriented Architecture
(SOA) has emerged as the leading IT strategy
for streamlining service delivery. An SOA
takes the discrete business functions contained
in enterprise applications and organizes
them into interoperable, standards-based
services that can quickly be combined and
reused in composite applications and processes.
Unfortunately, existing infrastructure solutions
were not designed to manage SOAs in environments
that have such divergent technology portfolios.
Achieving the full benefits of an SOA requires
a new category of enterprise software —
one built specifically to manage the SOA
life cycle in heterogeneous environments.
|
| BEA
AquaLogic is the first family of service infrastructure
products built from the ground up to manage
SOAs. This new service-infrastructure software
adheres to the SOA principles of coarsegrained,
loosely coupled, and standards-based services
that isolate the complexities of underlying
technologies, creating a "neutral container"
in which business functions may thrive regardless
of underlying infrastructure. |
| BEA
AquaLogic lets services built on virtually
any platform—J2EE, .NET, SAP, Oracle,
IBM, and others—be discovered, secured,
managed, and assembled into composite applications
and processes. BEA AquaLogic is the most comprehensive
product suite available for enterprises that
want to successfully deploy an SOA across
their organization and achieve the prime benefits
of SOAs: better business agility and efficiency. |
|
|
| By
providing the most comprehensive product family
for managing SOAs in heterogenous environments,
BEA AquaLogic delivers the on-ramp for enterprises
to reach the full benefits of production-scale
SOA deployment. |
| The
BEA AquaLogic product family provides both
an interoperable infrastructure and a set
of reusable infrastructure services for managing
SOAs and assembling composite applications,
regardless of the underlying technology. BEA
AquaLogic products deliver the following benefits:
|
- They improve business responsiveness,
efficiency, and agility.
- They reduce complexity, increase reuse,
and lower application life-cycle costs.
- They leverage services built on any
platform.
- They manage the entire service lifecycle.
- They reduce integration burdens.

AquaLogic User Interaction |
| |
|
BEA AquaLogic User Interaction is an
integrated set of products and tools used
to create a variety of interactive solutions
that leverage the service infrastructure,
including portals and composite applications.
This product line combines technologies
such as collaboration, search, publishing,
and business-process management—cornerstone
features that every new application requires—with
a cross-platform framework that speeds
the assembly of services into new applications
and their delivery to users.

AquaLogic Business Service Interaction |
|
|
|
The BEA AquaLogic Business
Service Interaction product line includes
software that automates, executes, and monitors
the entire lifecycle of a business process
by connecting people to people, applications
to applications, and people to applications.
AquaLogic Business Service Interaction moves
beyond the limitations of traditional human
workflow and process technology and augments
the power and extensibility of system-to-system
enterprise application integration software
by bridging the two together into a single
suite of software used to support the complex,
collaborative business processes of today's
heterogeneous enterprise.

AquaLogic Messaging |
| |
|
BEA AquaLogic
Messaging provides foundation capabilities
for service discovery, intermediation, management,
and governance, allowing IT to deliver business
services faster. This product line includes
the BEA AquaLogic Service Bus!, the first
product to unify enterprise service bus
and operational servicemanagement capabilities
to both speed services deployment and simplify
SOA management in heterogeneous environments.
The BEA AquaLogic Service Bus enables rapid
configuration of integration between services
and the dynamic definition and management
of routing relationships, transformations,
and policies. It does this without requiring
costly and complex development efforts,
lowering the ongoing total cost of deploying
and operating an SOA.
|
The BEA AquaLogic Messaging
product line also includes the BEA
AquaLogic Service Registry!, the most
complete UDDI v3 registry on the market.
The BEA AquaLogic Service Registry, through
an embedded governance framework, acts as
a central location for managing the services
life cycle. It makes an SOA more transparent
by serving as the system of record where
services may be published and discovered
for reuse, either in composing new applications
or in adapting current applications to changing
market demands. |

BEA
AquaLogic Data |
| |
|
This product line includes
BEA AquaLogic Data Services Platform!, which
enables data services that deliver unified,
real-time views of data from disparate sources
across the enterprise. BEA AquaLogic Data
Services Platform enables IT to easily build,
modify, and reuse data services so that
they may function as single access points
for leveraging unified and consistent information.

BEA
AquaLogic Security |
| |
|
BEA AquaLogic Security provides an open
and adaptable infrastructure to secure
distributed applications in an SOA. This
product line includes BEA AquaLogic Enterprise
Security!, which allows shared security
services to be leveraged and reused across
a heterogeneous enterprise, improving
security and increasing IT efficiency.
BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Security also
delivers best-in-class, fine-grained entitlement
capabilities to more precisely control
the protection of application resources,
all while supporting dynamic business
requirements.
