Abstract:
The adoption of SOA in business computing environments is growing due to the promise of significant cost reduction in the planning, deployment and operation of IT projects. However, the organic transformation from legacy enterprise applications to SOA applications only has been seen mostly in large enterprises data center where services are centralized. Patterns of adoption of SOA, in combination with emerging technologies lead us to believe that the traditional data center owned by a large organization, i.e., the traditional monolithic data center, will evolve into a more federated form. This new dynamic will affect large and small business alike.
