Bernd Kosch, SOA - from an Infrastructure Perspective © Fujitsu Siemens Computers 2007 All rights reserved 2 Service Oriented Architecture Is the next generation cross-business-process SW-architecture, based on reusable modules (services), typically implemented as web-services  constitutes the follow-on to previous component based architectures like CORBA, DCOM  is expected to be a major driver for cost-efficiency, SLA levels and business-agility in the large enterprise (by all leading IT-analysts)  is now the main marketing message for nearly all major EAS- and middleware-ISVs, including ORACLE, SAP, BEA, …  catches the attention of the vast majority of CIOs, particularly in the US and Europe, analysts predict that more than 80% of all new business process implementations will follow the SOA paradigm in 2008 SOA is not directly linked to specific IT-infrastructure. However, the use of dynamically provisioned, pooled components can substantially increase the SOA benefits (TCO, SLA, agility) Such IT-Infrastructure is now called “Adaptive Computing”, “Service Oriented Infrastructure”, “Dynamic Data Center” or “Enterprise Grid”
