  1. Impact Comes to YouIBM SOA Connectivity

  2. What do we mean by SOA Connectivity? • Another term for “Application Integration” • Software that enables applications to connect to one another • Communications Protocols (Messaging) • i.e., the method used to exchange information • Protocol and Information Mediation (Brokering/ESB) • i.e., the translation of protocols and messages into something each sending and receiving system understands. • Event Identification and Distribution (Brokering/ESB) • i.e., the interception, analysis, and manipulation of the “content” of messages “in-flight” (routing, event processing) • A necessary underpinning for Business Process Management.

  6. COBOL, C, C++, RPG, …others. HTTP, FTP, … C, C++, .NET C# Web Services Microsoft Java / JEE Other Interfaces XMS SOAP JMS .NET (C#) MQ Interface The solution to Universal Connectivity  IBM WebSphere MQ Features: • Supports the broadest range of APIs, programming languages and OS platforms • Provides the only JMS engine that can be implemented on “any” standards-compliant JEE server • Provides rich web services interfaces meeting customer needs for WS-Reliability • Offers a broad range of qualities of service and messaging methods including publish/subscribe • Provides Low Latency and Extended Security editions • Offers the most scalable, most manageable messaging system available • Assures transactional message delivery end-to-end. WebSphere MQ can dramatically reduce application infrastructure costs by providing a single manageable distributed infrastructure for all application messaging traffic. Multiple APIs WebSphere MQ AIX Windows OS/400 zLinux HP-UX zOS Solaris Linux NSS OVMS 80+ platform configurations

  7. XMS MQI JMS (Java) .Net (C#) FTP/HTTP COBOL, C, C++ C, C++ Files JBOSS Microsoft WAS Single unifying message backbone Oracle BEA Windows Comms Framework RPG, Other SOAP C#  Universal Messaging Backbone • Business Problem: • Companies use a variety of messaging systems (MQ, FTP, HTTP, variety of JMS, Microsoft MSMQ). • JMS is often considered a unifier, but every JEE app server has its own JMS engine that uses its own proprietary wire format (i.e., JMS systems don’t talk to one another). • Plus JMS only supports Java. What about C, C++, C#, COBOL, etc. • Result: Companies incur the cost of managing and connecting many different messaging systems. • Who is impacted: • CIO • What is impacted: • Difficulties getting systems connected. • Expensive to manage networks. • Solution: • Standardize all messaging on WebSphere MQ and reduce your messaging costs: • Supports a wide variety of APIs and systems • Acts as the JMS provider under ANY JEE servers • Integrates all Microsoft and legacy systems • Provides the most assured scalable manageable messaging backbone • Provides reliability for Web Services traffic

  8. Integrated Applications  Reliable Web Services • Business Problem: • Companies are increasing their Web Services traffic. • HTTP is the common choice for transport, BUT HTTP is NOT RELIABLE. • The WS-Reliability is what everybody is waiting for but WS-Reliability is still a long way from real. • Who is impacted: • CIOs, IT • What is impacted: • Web Services implementations lose critical business transactions. MQ SOAP client Existing HTTP apps AJAX JEE Web server HTTP Topics Queues New Customer New Customer New_Customer WebSphere MQ Bridge for HTTP MQ Service Definitions • Solution: • WebSphere MQ provides a reliable, manageable backbone for Web Services. • Three customer scenarios: • Client wants to run Web Services over a reliable protocol (MQ)  MQ SOAP Client • Client has services already written to HTTP but wants MQ  MQ-HTTP Bridge • Client wants to register existing MQ apps as services MQ Services Definitions

  9.  Data Security (e.g. for the Payment Card Industry (PCI)) • Problem: • Data security is becoming increasingly more important to many businesses. • A major driver is the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) driven by issuers of all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diner’s Club). • Non-compliant companies who deal in credit card records face heavy fines from card issuer or acquirer banks if they are not compliant. • Companies MUST: (1) Use a firewall to protect cardholder data, (2) Encrypt all emails and messages, (3) Encrypt all data at rest (e.g., in message queues) • Who is impacted: • Any company dealing in credit card information: • Retailers, Hospitality, Transportation, Financial Services, Healthcare/Education, Public Sector, Telecommunications, Utilities • What is impacted: • Heavy fines if not compliant. Firewall Encryption Access Control • Solution: • WebSphere MQ Extended Security Edition (an upgrade to WebSphere MQ): • Provides encryption of data in queues as well as explicit access control to message queues. • WebSphere DataPower (XS40 Security Appliance or XI50 Integration Appliance): • Provides firewall and data encryption.

  10.  Managed File Transfer • Problem: • Today most companies rely on basic FTP and home-grown code that often lacks: • Auditability- can I show in an audit where my files went where and when? • Security- who can access files and documents in transit? • Reliability- do I know if the whole file or batch actually arrived? • Who is impacted: • CIOs, CFOs, CEOs • What is impacted: • Integrity of data transfers • Lack of auditability • Solution: • WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition V7.0Provides: • Ability to centrally manage and audit transfers of files and documents throughout the enterprise • Delivery of a Managed File Transfer solution that enables files of all sizes to be moved reliably and securely • Consolidation of messaging and file transfer infrastructure into single backbone - MQ
