| Abstract: |
The processing of messages between endpoints including message distribution and transformation, message management and message-level security is a core requirement of realizing Service Oriented Architecture. In this report, we look at how Application-Oriented Networking (AON) devices recently launched by Cisco introduce a new approach to this requirement by plugging into the heart of the network. |
| Backgrounder: |
Some might desire that the perfect SOA world would be one of stability and harmony where Services are always available, messages flow directly and reliably to their correct destination, standards prevail, and everyone uses the same schema.
However, the real goal of SOA is to deliver business and IT agility. Though Service Levels might be expected today to be sustained at 99.99%, the goal of SOA should be to dynamically use new and alternative Services and providers, where disparate Services and schemas might be deliberately differentiated for competitive advantage and where endpoints constantly change to balance the shifting demands placed upon federated resources. In such a world, security and trust can never be assumed, and must be constantly established and re-established throughout the network.
