The XML and Web Services Processing Challenge White Paper: Eliminating Content-Processing Bottlenecks»rank:by: ZapThink, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :Performing XML-aware content inspection is a difficult task. Network devices and application servers are already overloaded handling the basic TCP/IP and HTTP based functions that they were built for. Processing and inspecting XML on the network is a compute-intensive, multistep task. Each step consumes processing power and time, resulting in a challenging environment, especially if the business requires a solution that introduces no additional latency. Clearly, companies require a new class of solution in order to meet the increasing demand to understand, process, and manage XML and Web Services traffic ... |
The Path to Successful Web Services White Paper: Navigating the Pitfalls»rank: 5142909by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :Web Services are a reality in today's enterprise, but they're only the first step to building a more agile IT infrastructure. Using Web Services to solve integration problems reduces the cost of integration, to be sure, but the promise of substantial ROI is much greater as companies move toward Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). Such architectures can support flexible business processes and offer return on investment in the form of increased business agility. The best approach to building such an SOA, especially in light of today's tight IT budgets, is to take ... |

Is this new approach just another technology fad, or does it actually offer solutions to ITs perennial problems?As a matter of fact, todays Service-oriented architectures based on Web services leverage the lessons ... |
A Guide to Securing XML and Web Services White Paper»rank: 5860866by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg, Ronald D. Schmelzer
: :The quantity of XML crossing the enterprise network is dramatically increasing as the range and depth of uses that companies find for XML grows. This torrent of XML traffic offers substantial business value to enterprises, but it also offers a new set of risks. Companies are using Web Services today to facilitate integration with their most important systems, but XML, the heart of Web Services, is by its nature an open, human-readable format, and as a result offers little in the way of inherent security. It is critically important, therefore, ... |

Metadata: The Lifeblood of the SOA White Paper»rank: 3185873by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :Enterprises need information and application visibility across their IT environment, regardless of how far along they are in their plans to implement an enterprise-wide Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Without visibility into the workings of the systems, applications, and other elements of their IT infrastructure, businesses are unable to manage or improve their IT environment, and most importantly, meet their business requirements. Today, however, only a few companies have implemented SOAs. As companies build such architectures, the need for visibility becomes even more acute, because an SOA represents an abstraction layer that ... |
