    8. SOA for Dummies?

    9. Integrating business applications through an ESB Main Point: The ESB is widely accepted as a key element at the heart of every successful SOA and provides the basis for a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services. An ESB performs 5 basic tasks as listed on the chart. Script: Many Smart SOA connectivity implementation efforts start with a messaging backbone or Enterprise Service Bus. The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) can help you achieve the goal of SOA – in fact the ESB is widely accepted as a key element at the heart of every successful SOA. The ESB is a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services. While there is no broad agreement on all of the capabilities which can comprise an ESB, this basic definition is generally accepted by leading analysts and vendors. For example, Roy Schulte of Gartner Group describes an ESB as “A lightweight connectivity infrastructure built using JMS, XML, and Web Services standards.” An ESB does five basic things: CONNECTS everything to everything It MATCHES & ROUTES communications between services It CONVERTS between different transport protocols It TRANSFORMS between different data formats It DISTRIBUTES business events Additional Information on Enterprise Service Bus An enterprise service bus (ESB) enables a business to make use of a comprehensive, flexible and consistent approach to integration while also reducing the complexity of the applications being integrated. Due to the complex and varying nature of business needs, ESB is an evolutional progression that unifies message oriented, event driven and service oriented approaches for integrating applications and service. Implementing an ESB facilitates greater reuse of IT assets by separating application logics and integration tasks, so you can reduce the number, size, and complexity of integration interfaces. In doing so, you can add or change services with minimal interruption to existing IT environment; reduce cost and risk involved as business changes and new opportunities arise. However simple or comprehensive your ESB infrastructure needs, IBM has the integration middleware that can meet them. IBM recognizes that a one size ESB will not meet everyone’s requirements. In our WebSphere portfolio we offer three different ESB’s. WebSphere ESB is ideal for customers who have other solutions on WebSphere Application Server, Portal, or BPM platform. Customers may achieve efficiencies in skills, cost, and time-to-value across middleware products if adding WebSphere ESB to their standards-based IT environment. On the other hand, for customers whose primary challenge is integrating a wide range of non-standard applications into the standards world, as well as those who make heavy use of WebSphere MQ will value the flexibility and depth of capability provided by WebSphere Message Broker. And for those who value the simple experience of drop-in installation and admin-based configuration, and require security at the message level, network level, and device level, WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance brings that in an integrated solution. Federated ESB: In the fast changing business environment, most enterprises will have multiple ESBs across business units. As business processes span organizational boundaries, businesses will need to enable integration across ESBs. Service governance, security, and management must be considered in a federated approach. IBM has several products that allow you to extend your ESB(s) into a federated model. ESB - the Connectivity entry point for SOA IBM delivers the most connected SOA for your business by linking together all types of data, applications, protocols and platforms, from sensors, handheld devices and applications to mainframe. IBM has put the ESB at the heart of its middleware strategy and offers three ESB products: WebSphere Enterprise Service: built on WebSphere Application Server for an integrated SOA platform. WebSphere Message Broker: built for universal connectivity and transformation in heterogeneous IT environments. WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50: purpose-built hardware ESB for simplified deployment and hardened security. Whichever implementation of an ESB is deployed to connect your business, either individually or in combination provides your business with a flexible connectivity infrastructure to power your SOA. Service Governance WebSphere Service Registry and Repository provides an integrated service metadata repository to govern services and manage service lifecycle. It promotes service visibility, consistency, and decreases service redundancy in your SOA. Service Security IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager propagates across services and federates across domains. Security is "decoupled" from the requesting application and business risk is reduced making security changes tracked. WebSphere DataPower XML Security Gateway XS40 and XML Accelerator XA35 Appliances extend ESB functionality in a hardware form factor with wirespeed performance to simplify, secure and accelerate your SOA deployment. Service Management IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA enables the management of services as first-class resources. It provides built-in and extensible alerts, situations, workflows and managed mediation primitives to enable powerful automation scenarios. Common Capabilites All ESB implementations should consider core capabilities for a complete ESB infrastructure. IBM has key core products to assist in building an ESB infrastructure. WebSphere MQ delivers the proven messaging backbone for SOA connectivity spanning across over 80 platform configurations while preserving data integrity end-to-end. WebSphere Transformation Extender offers universal transformation deployable anywhere in the enterprise, and provides consistent data transformation and validation across any infrastructure with its enterprise and industry packs. WebSphere Adapters helps you to service-enable packaged applications or other legacy assets so they can participate in an SOA. IBM makes Federated ESB real today One of the benefits of adopting a Service-Oriented Architecture is the ability to start your move to SOA no matter how your business runs today. As the leading provider of proven integration middleware, IBM can provide the ESB capabilities and supporting Federated components you need to implement a Federated model — today.Main Point: The ESB is widely accepted as a key element at the heart of every successful SOA and provides the basis for a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services.

    10. SOA Connectivity – Integration Across Your Business Main Point: The ESB is widely accepted as a key element at the heart of every successful SOA and provides the basis for a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services. Script: The ESB includes 2 primary functions… 1) Messaging, which is the reliable delivery of information where ever and when ever it’s needed. and 2) Service Enrichment, the augmentation of messages with routing information, data mediation and the distribution of business events. Together, these functions provide flexibility and “service virtualization”. What architects call “separation of concerns” – the clear separation between the applications which run the business (including business services and business processes) and the infrastructure for connecting applications and services together (ESB). This flexibility enables IT change with very limited impact – such as the update or replacement of a given business service, or the development of a new composite solution which leverages existing services. We saw this graphically when adding an externally serviced credit check in in our flash demo from a few minutes ago. The Messaging function can be accomplished with IBM’s WebSphere MQ and MQ File Transfer Edition Products. In many implementations message handling and routing is sufficient. However, if you required additional capabilities or Service Enrichment, you’ll want to deploy an ESB. IBM recognizes that a one size ESB will not meet everyone’s requirements. Therefore, in our WebSphere portfolio we offer 3 different ESB’s: a) WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus b) WebSphere Message Broker c) WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance WebSphere ESB is ideal for customers who have other solutions on WebSphere Application Server, Portal, or BPM platform. Customers may achieve efficiencies in skills, cost, and time-to-value across middleware products if adding WebSphere ESB to their standards-based IT environment. On the other hand, for customers whose primary challenge is integrating a wide range of non-standard applications into the standards world, as well as those who make heavy use of WebSphere MQ will value the flexibility and depth of capability provided by WebSphere Message Broker. And for those who value the simple experience of drop-in installation and admin-based configuration, and require security at the message level, network level, and device level, WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance brings that in an integrated solution. Visibility and Governance is the organization and cataloguing of SOA services according to your business needs. It enables consumers in an SOA to find and leverage the most appropriate service at anytime – facilitating easy reuse and efficiencies. In an enterprise with only a handful of services, the organization of those services might easy be managed with spreadsheets or some other manual method. Now consider an enterprise with as many as 100 or even 1000 services. Management of those services becomes critical to their easy and efficient. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository provides the solution, an easy to use set of service management tools which are interoperable with Messaging and ESB offerings. Additional Information: WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition (new!, v7.0, ann. 10/7, GA Dec 5, 2008) we’re adding file transfer services to WebSphere MQ - providing the Managed File Transfer solution for SOA.  70% of connectivity is done by a combination of FTP and homegrown coding.

Ann 7/1, eGA 7/25, GA 8/29) For helping customers effectively govern the lifecycle from service identification to service consumption, IBM offers a solution that covers the development and deployment phases of the service lifecycle – IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository Advanced Lifecycle Edition. WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition is a comprehensive design and runtime SOA repository built on a highly reliable, scalable and robust platform which includes out of the box templates and models for easy customer adoption. Under the covers, WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition is powered by IBM Rational Asset Manager (RAM) that manages information useful for developing, re-using and managing all types of reusable assets and IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR) that manages information useful for the runtime operation, management and development use of services. Increase Service Visibility and Promote Reuse WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition addresses many of the challenges discussed earlier related to service visibility, and promoting service reuse. During design time, you can easily create assets and organize them the way you want and quickly find them. During run / deploy time, you can automatically discover services in your environment, classify them and find the right service at the right time. By flexibly organizing assets and services during design and runtime, Architects and IT managers can increase service visibility that helps reduce redundancies and duplication, dramatically reducing costs, accelerating time to market and improving staff productivity. Create Trusted Source of High Quality Services WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition helps IT managers create a trusted source of high quality services. During design time, you can define roles and workflow to create, review and approve assets. During run / deploy time, you can set up role based access to introduce, promote and retire services. WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition assists you in following best practices by applying governance policies consistently. By associating policies with services, and making them available to service consumers, WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition allows IT managers to increase flexibility in providing customized services according to divergent needs of their clients. Responding more rapidly to customer requests leads to increased business opportunities and customer loyalty. Manage Changes & Improve Communication WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition helps manage changes to your services and improve team communication. During design time, consumers can rate assets, provide feedback and be notified when any changes happen. During run / deploy time, you can manage multiple versions of the service, and as services change all subscribers are notified. This greatly enhances team communication, allowing managers to manage growing number of services effectively and realize the ROI on their SOA investment Plan and Assess your Service Portfolio WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition allows you to generate a variety of metrics for your service portfolio. During design time, you can audit and report metrics based on asset activities. During run/ deploy time, you can audit updates to services and policies. This greatly enhances the ability of IT executives to continuously improve their services to the business, increasing customer satisfaction and minimizing unplanned service disruption and maintenance.

    12. Federated ESB’s a Reality of Advanced Connectivity Main Point: In the fast changing business environment, most enterprises will have multiple ESBs across business units. IBM has several products to unify and automate the management of multiple under-the-covers Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) environments to present this single view to the business. Script: In the fast changing business environment, most enterprises will have multiple ESBs across business units. Through acquisition or by design, one may end up with an enterprise that requires the integration of multiple SOA environments and multiple ESB’s. As business processes span organizational boundaries, businesses will need to enable federation across ESBs. For IT organizations to be able to effectively deliver content across the enterprise for new Web 2.0 and SOA needs, a few primary concerns have to be service governance, security, and management. IBM achieves this connectivity through ESB Federation, which allows us to seamlessly & effectively manage messages and service flows in this type of domain. The IBM solution also enables transaction integrity by improving quality of service for service interactions through Service virtualization, prioritization and SLA optimization and enforcement – used together with service management and service governance solutions. Additional Information: A Federated Enterprise Service Bus consists of multiple ESB domains working together to form a single, logical ESB infrastructure. An individual ESB domain establishes an access and control point for a collection of services. Federated ESB enables transaction integrity by improving quality of service for service interactions through Service virtualization – routes to multiple services to support horizontal scaling Service prioritization – allocates processing to critical transactions and users Service throttling / pooling – limits load to critical services Event sequencing – ensures proper ordering of interdependent events Service retry / failover – helps ensure client requests are fulfilled even if services are temporarily unavailable SLA optimization and enforcement – used together with service management and service registry solution, selects best available service, and identifies threshold breaches and takes corrective action Enhanced WSRR v6.2 (available now!

IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager (NEW! eGA Nov 4) IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager is designed to address the challenges of managing security policy by providing unified, centralized policy management and enforcement. With this solution, enterprise architects and security operations teams can enforce security policies across multiple policy enforcement points and throughout the policy lifecycle from authoring and publishing to enforcing and updating security policies. This solution provides a range of capabilities to help organizations implement an effective approach for meeting policy diverse requirements in complex SOA environments. IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager offers security as a service, decoupling the native authentication or authorization capabilities of an application to improve security and reduce the complexity of the IT infrastructure. Tivoli Security Policy Manager empowers organizations to transform business policies into enforceable instructions. Tivoli Security Policy Manager provides centralized administration management at every stage of the policy lifecycle. Tivoli Security Policy Manager integrates with key IT SOA components in an enterprise’s SOA environment—to import services from a registry like IBM WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository (WSRR), and to author, transform and distribute entitlements and message security policy administration across multiple enforcement points, including IBM WebSphere DataPower for Web services, and custom applications such as Java, .NET and mainframe applications. It also provides interoperability through collaboration on open standards service registries with Microsoft®, Oracle, SAP, Sun, and others. Additional details on TSPM: Externalizing security and simplifying policy management IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager offers security as a service, decoupling the native authentication or authorization capabilities of an application to improve security and reduce the complexity of the IT infrastructure. It enables provisioning of policies in a contextual manner, so that operational policies reflect business requirements. For example, a security administrator could use a single security tool to manage, delegate and track changes to all Web services and applications at an insurance company, using the common authentication framework of Tivoli Security Policy Manager to control access to applications. An application developer at the same insurance company could use the same tool to externalize access decisions and apply the authorization service, helping to reduce costs and time spent on access control. Runtime security services for consistent policy enforcement Tivoli Security Policy Manager empowers organizations to transform business policies into enforceable instructions. Its common, reusable Runtime Security Services (RTSS) policy engine provides the performance, scalability and reliability to help enforce policies consistently. Using this centrally administered and audited service, organizations can externalize security policy from their own business logic, replacing internalized policy with a common service to a centralized point of policy administration and audit. With Tivoli Security Policy Manager, high-level business policies can be readily transformed into lower-level operational instructions, which can in turn be deployed and enforced in the production environment. Centralized administration management for consistent policy management Tivoli Security Policy Manager provides centralized administration management at every stage of the policy lifecycle: Discovery of resources for creating policies, with multiple resource definitions such as Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) deployment descriptor and WSDL Policy authoring, including the ability to author policies based on rules and conditions, and based on roles, groups, attributes and contact Delegation of administration and separation of duties; for example, Admin User X can create policy and delegate the policy configuration to User Y in Operations Change management and version control to keep track of policy changes, versioning of policies, etc. Policy association, including combining multiple policies to devise an effective policy, as well as policy simulation, conflict resolution, and separation of duties Policy transformation, working in existing XACML and other environments and using WS-Security Policy for message protection policies Auditing and reporting, such as reporting of all policies authored by a particular administrator, or viewing most recent versions of a policy modified by a particular administrator Open standards for interoperability and integration Tivoli Security Policy Manager integrates with key IT SOA components in an enterprise’s SOA environment—to import services from a registry like IBM WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository (WSRR), and to author, transform and distribute entitlements and message security policy administration across multiple enforcement points, including IBM WebSphere DataPower for Web services, and custom applications such as Java, .NET and mainframe applications. It also provides interoperability through collaboration on open standards service registries with Microsoft®, Oracle, SAP, Sun, and others.

Message protection policies such as WS-Security Policy and XACML-based authorization policies. Java programming language and Web services programming models such as WS-Trust and XACML. IBM actively collaborates on open standards with industry leaders and participates in the open source identity framework Project Higgins, in association with the Eclipse Foundation.Main Point: In the fast changing business environment, most enterprises will have multiple ESBs across business units. IBM has several products to unify and automate the management of multiple under-the-covers Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) environments to present this single view to the business. Script: In the fast changing business environment, most enterprises will have multiple ESBs across business units. Through acquisition or by design, one may end up with an enterprise that requires the integration of multiple SOA environments and multiple ESB’s. As business processes span organizational boundaries, businesses will need to enable federation across ESBs. For IT organizations to be able to effectively deliver content across the enterprise for new Web 2.0 and SOA needs, a few primary concerns have to be service governance, security, and management. IBM achieves this connectivity through ESB Federation, which allows us to seamlessly & effectively manage messages and service flows in this type of domain. The IBM solution also enables transaction integrity by improving quality of service for service interactions through Service virtualization, prioritization and SLA optimization and enforcement – used together with service management and service governance solutions. Additional Information: A Federated Enterprise Service Bus consists of multiple ESB domains working together to form a single, logical ESB infrastructure. An individual ESB domain establishes an access and control point for a collection of services. Federated ESB enables transaction integrity by improving quality of service for service interactions through Service virtualization – routes to multiple services to support horizontal scaling Service prioritization – allocates processing to critical transactions and users Service throttling / pooling – limits load to critical services Event sequencing – ensures proper ordering of interdependent events Service retry / failover – helps ensure client requests are fulfilled even if services are temporarily unavailable SLA optimization and enforcement – used together with service management and service registry solution, selects best available service, and identifies threshold breaches and takes corrective action Enhanced WSRR v6.2 (available now!

Ann 7/1, eGA 7/25, GA 8/29) For helping customers effectively govern the lifecycle from service identification to service consumption, IBM offers a solution that covers the development and deployment phases of the service lifecycle – IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository Advanced Lifecycle Edition. WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition is a comprehensive design and runtime SOA repository built on a highly reliable, scalable and robust platform which includes out of the box templates and models for easy customer adoption. Under the covers, WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition is powered by IBM Rational Asset Manager (RAM) that manages information useful for developing, re-using and managing all types of reusable assets and IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR) that manages information useful for the runtime operation, management and development use of services. Increase Service Visibility and Promote Reuse WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition addresses many of the challenges discussed earlier related to service visibility, and promoting service reuse. During design time, you can easily create assets and organize them the way you want and quickly find them. During run / deploy time, you can automatically discover services in your environment, classify them and find the right service at the right time. By flexibly organizing assets and services during design and runtime, Architects and IT managers can increase service visibility that helps reduce redundancies and duplication, dramatically reducing costs, accelerating time to market and improving staff productivity. Create Trusted Source of High Quality Services WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition helps IT managers create a trusted source of high quality services. During design time, you can define roles and workflow to create, review and approve assets. During run / deploy time, you can set up role based access to introduce, promote and retire services. WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition assists you in following best practices by applying governance policies consistently. By associating policies with services, and making them available to service consumers, WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition allows IT managers to increase flexibility in providing customized services according to divergent needs of their clients. Responding more rapidly to customer requests leads to increased business opportunities and customer loyalty. Manage Changes & Improve Communication WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition helps manage changes to your services and improve team communication. During design time, consumers can rate assets, provide feedback and be notified when any changes happen. During run / deploy time, you can manage multiple versions of the service, and as services change all subscribers are notified. This greatly enhances team communication, allowing managers to manage growing number of services effectively and realize the ROI on their SOA investment Plan and Assess your Service Portfolio WSRR Advanced Lifecycle Edition allows you to generate a variety of metrics for your service portfolio. During design time, you can audit and report metrics based on asset activities. During run/ deploy time, you can audit updates to services and policies. This greatly enhances the ability of IT executives to continuously improve their services to the business, increasing customer satisfaction and minimizing unplanned service disruption and maintenance. IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager (NEW! eGA Nov 4) IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager is designed to address the challenges of managing security policy by providing unified, centralized policy management and enforcement. With this solution, enterprise architects and security operations teams can enforce security policies across multiple policy enforcement points and throughout the policy lifecycle from authoring and publishing to enforcing and updating security policies. This solution provides a range of capabilities to help organizations implement an effective approach for meeting policy diverse requirements in complex SOA environments. IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager offers security as a service, decoupling the native authentication or authorization capabilities of an application to improve security and reduce the complexity of the IT infrastructure. Tivoli Security Policy Manager empowers organizations to transform business policies into enforceable instructions. Tivoli Security Policy Manager provides centralized administration management at every stage of the policy lifecycle. Tivoli Security Policy Manager integrates with key IT SOA components in an enterprise’s SOA environment—to import services from a registry like IBM WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository (WSRR), and to author, transform and distribute entitlements and message security policy administration across multiple enforcement points, including IBM WebSphere DataPower for Web services, and custom applications such as Java, .NET and mainframe applications. It also provides interoperability through collaboration on open standards service registries with Microsoft®, Oracle, SAP, Sun, and others. Additional details on TSPM: Externalizing security and simplifying policy management IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager offers security as a service, decoupling the native authentication or authorization capabilities of an application to improve security and reduce the complexity of the IT infrastructure. It enables provisioning of policies in a contextual manner, so that operational policies reflect business requirements. For example, a security administrator could use a single security tool to manage, delegate and track changes to all Web services and applications at an insurance company, using the common authentication framework of Tivoli Security Policy Manager to control access to applications. An application developer at the same insurance company could use the same tool to externalize access decisions and apply the authorization service, helping to reduce costs and time spent on access control. Runtime security services for consistent policy enforcement Tivoli Security Policy Manager empowers organizations to transform business policies into enforceable instructions. Its common, reusable Runtime Security Services (RTSS) policy engine provides the performance, scalability and reliability to help enforce policies consistently. Using this centrally administered and audited service, organizations can externalize security policy from their own business logic, replacing internalized policy with a common service to a centralized point of policy administration and audit. With Tivoli Security Policy Manager, high-level business policies can be readily transformed into lower-level operational instructions, which can in turn be deployed and enforced in the production environment.
