Service-Oriented Infrastructure: On-Premise and in the Cloud, Rough Cuts

Description

How can today's web services be brought together in a coherent, manageable whole? How can they be integrated, monitored, and secured? To solve these problems, IT architects are turning to the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). ESB promises to simplify web services integration and promote flexible reuse, making it possible to dynamically connect, mediate, and control web services. IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, BEA, Red Hat, and Sun have all jumped on the ESB bandwagon. However, there's extensive confusion about ESB: definitions and solutions vary widely, and best practices have only recently emerged. This is an objective, expert guide to the latest ESB technologies for everyone who must learn about, assess, or work with ESB technologies. Renowned SOA expert Thomas Erl and three leading architects carefully define the concepts, technologies, and architecture of ESB on a vendor-neutral basis, and then document each primary vendor platform. Coverage includes:

• How ESB compares with traditional enterprise application integration (EAI) techniques
• What ESB can and can't do
• How ESB fits with SOA and web services
• The role of current standards such as JBI
• Critical success factors and best practices for deployment
• Comparing products based on requirements and existing infrastructure
• Emerging trends, developments, and standards--and how they affect current decisions
