To realize the benefits of Service Oriented Architecture, today's applications need corresponding innovations in data center infrastructure. This article examines the cornerstones of the new Service Oriented Infrastructure and explains how Service Level Automation coupled with server and network virtualization can help align infrastructure and operations with business objectives.
SOA represents the latest stage in the evolution of application architecture. The migration from mainframe to client/server to Web-enabled distributed applications all required substantial changes to underlying data center infrastructure. Without those changes, the new architectures wouldn't have satisfied end users or scaled effectively. In this respect, SOA is no different. In fact, some might say that it stresses the existing application infrastructure further than any previous development.
