Cloud Integration White Paper – Now Available

Accidental SOA Cloud ArchitectureInterested in expanding your existing application infrastructure to integrate with cloud applications? Download the new Oracle White Paper “Cloud Integration – A Comprehensive Solution” to learn not just about connectivity but the other key aspects of successful cloud integration.
The paper includes three technical examples of cloud integration with Oracle Fusion Applications, Saleforce, and Workday and follows with the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to also include service aggregation, service virtualization, cloud security considerations and the benefit of maintaining a unified approach to monitoring and management despite an increasingly distributed hybrid infrastructure.

To keep the integration architecture from being defined “accidentally” as new business units subscribe to additional cloud vendors outside the participation of IT, a discussion on the “Accidental SOA Cloud Architecture” is included:Read the article here.

Quality Analysis for SOA and Cloud

With Gebhart Quality Analysis (QA) 82, the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology and the European Union support the quality analysis in the context of service-oriented architectures and cloud. Gebhart Quality Analysis (QA) 82 offers quality analyses of service-oriented architectures and cloud services, certifications of services, and trainings.

  • The quality analyses help customers to identify untapped potential regarding the flexibility and maintainability of their architecture. This enables to improve their architecture with focus on strategic goals and to reduce IT costs. The QA82 Architecture Analyzer tool enables automatic, thus efficient analyses.
  • With certifications customers demonstrate that their services satisfy today’s state of the art in the context of quality attributes of services and support the achievement of strategic goals. Especially software producers prove that their products can be efficiently integrated into an existing application landscape. As this aspect constitutes an important decision factor when choosing a product, customers significantly increase the value of their products.
  • The trainings target the systematic design of service-oriented architectures and cloud services with focus on quality attributes by means of formalized languages, such as UML and SoaML.

The fundamentals of services offered have been acquired at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany within several years of research. The examined quality attributes are publicly accessible representing an essential characteristic of the philosophy: Gebhart Quality Analysis (QA) 82 stands for transparency in research and practice.
