SOA AND CLOUD COMPUTI NG
One can consider cloud
computing the extension of SOA
out to cloud-delivered resources,
such as storage-as-a-service,
data-as-a-service, platform-as-a-
service -- you get the idea.
The trick is to determine which
services, information, and
processes are good candidates to
reside in the clouds, as well as
which cloud services should be
abstracted within the existing or
emerging SOA.
Bick Group 2010
THREE LAYERS OF CLOUD
COMPUTI NG
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Finished applications that you rent and customize
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Developer platform that abstracts the infrastructure, OS and middleware to
drive developer productivity
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Deployment platform that abstracts the infrastructure

A Connectivity Explosion
Applications, formats, APIs, protocols,
standards, etc.
Connected business partners
Connectivity neither trivial nor static:
Incompatible structures, semantics,
business rules
No mature standards
Changes abound
Not easy to create robust Web services
interfaces
Connectivity becomes more challenging than ever

I T I S SKEPTI CAL
IT is understandably skittish
about cloud computing.
However, many of the cloud
computing resources out there
will actually provide better
service than on-premise.
Security and performance are
still issues.
Also, control.

CONSI DERI NG CLOUDS
However, not so fast.
Not all computing
resources should
exist in the clouds,
private or public.
Cloud computing is not
always cost effective.
Do your homework
before making the move.

CLOUD COMPUTI NG
A Fit When:
Processes, applications, and data
are largely independent
Points of integration are
well defined
Lower level of security is fine
Core internal enterprise
architecture is healthy
Web is the
desired platform
Cost is an issue
Applications are new
Not A Fit When:
Processes, applications, and data
are largely coupled
Points of integration are
not well defined
Higher level of security is required
Core internal enterprise
architecture needs work
The application requires
a native interface
Cost is an issue
Application is legacy

PATH TO THE CLOUDS
Path to clouds: start with
the architecture
Understand:
Mission drivers
Information under
management
Existing services under
management
Core business processes

STEPPI NG TO THE CLOUDS
1. Access the mission.
2. Access the culture.
3. Access the value.
4. Understand your data.
5. Understand your services.
6. Understand your processes.
7. Understand the cloud
resources.
8. Identify candidate data.
9. Identify candidate services
10. Identify candidate processes.
11. Create a governance strategy.
12. Create a security strategy.
13. Bind candidate services to data
and processes.
14. Relocate services, processes,
and information.
15. Implement security.
