BEA Joins Systinet SOA Governance Interoperability Framework
Tuesday 18 April 2006 - posted by Joe McKendrickCustomers using BEA AquaLogic Service Bus and AquaLogic Service Registry will have the capability to automatically consume information from other partners participating in the program.
Systinet announced that BEA Systems has joined the Systinet SOA Governance Interoperability Framework. The Systinet SOA Framework provides a standards-based approach to governing and managing SOA initiatives across multiple vendors and technologies.
By joining the Systinet SOA Governance Interoperability Framework, BEA customers benefit by “making their SOA deployments easier to manage, control, and scale while also dramatically improving the visibility and quality of SOA information,” according to a statement by Systinet. The relationship between the two vendors goes back a year to June 2005, when Systinet announced that BEA would OEM Systinet Registry as a BEA branded, distributed, and supported component of the AquaLogic product family.
Also being added as a participant of the Systinet SOA Governance Interoperability Framework is BEA AquaLogic Service Bus. AquaLogic Service Bus has the capability to automatically consume and share information to and from the AquaLogic Service Registry. With BEA's participation in the Governance Interoperability Framework, customers using AquaLogic Service Bus and AquaLogic Service Registry now have the capability to automatically consume information from other partners participating in the program.
""Effective SOA governance needs to span all domains of the architecture including security, integration, management, development, and orchestration," said Jeff Pendleton, vice president of marketing for BEA, in a prepared statement. "The Systinet SOA framework makes it possible to publish services and associated information to a reference system, AquaLogic Service Registry, in a standardized way, greatly improving and simplifying SOA governance."
"
The Systinet SOA framework is a set of technologies, standards, and best practices that enables easier interoperability between the SOA management, security, business integration, composite application, business intelligence, and enterprise information integrator vendors that are included in the framework. Through Systinet SOA framework, member companies have the ability to publish services and associated policies in a standardized way, be alerted about changes within the registry, and have access to metadata about the range of services that make up the customer's SOA. Ten partner companies already support the Systinet SOA Governance Interoperability Framework.
