Gain Deep Visibility, Minimize Disruptions and ensure Compliance with SOA Management

* Extensive real-time metrics and alerts

* Snapshot problem transactions in real-time

* Detect and contain rogue service deployments

Coca-Cola is saving millions of dollars thanks to its implementation of SOA Management and Governance by using Software AG's solution called webMethods Insight. webMethods Insight extends operational visibility beyond the edge of your Integration Server into all systems in your heterogeneous infrastructure and helps minimize outages/failures, and ensures quick resolution when outages/failures do occur.

Service-Oriented Architecture is fast-growing in popularity, however it does present changes to typical application accountability structures. No longer can IT simply point to one application as the root cause of a disruption. A critical challenge confronting any SOA implementation is the need to manage services within a distributed environment for optimal performance and reliability. Lacking real-time visibility and control over the run-time environment, enterprises often struggle to anticipate operational changes, minimize subsequent disruptions, and ensure full compliance with SOA processes, policies and contracts. The first step in SOA Governance is to create a repository that catalogs your organization's web services and policies. The next step is SOA Management: the active monitoring of those processes and policies including alerts when failures occur to ensure a quick resolution. Establishing SOA Governance processes that your developers, project managers and architects are asked to follow might not be enough to control your distributed and heterogeneous architecture. By implementing SOA Management, you gain infrastructure-wide visibility that discovers services and their dependencies automatically. This requires monitoring your SOA infrastructure, giving you the ability to quickly troubleshoot the root cause of any disruption. A successful SOA Management solution will identify and send you a snapshot of individual transactions that violate policies to easily isolate the root cause of problems with no added overhead. The ability to know who is using services and how much service capacity is consumed by specific clients and users is critical to your overall success. The SOA Management capabilities are:
