BEA reveals SOA 360

TAGS: SOA

BEA Systems Chairman/CEO Alfred Chuang on Tuesday touted BEA's SOA 360 platform, which takes all of the company's technology and puts it under a single environment for SOA.

While Chuang did not provide many specific details, he attempted to express the essence of the platform, which he said separates applications from the business process.

Featured in the platform is a microservice architecture built with SOA principals in mind, Chuang said. Interfaces are exposed for third parties to take advantage of, he said. The architecture features third party products as well as BEA's Tuxedo and AquaLogic products.

The Workspace 360 component of SOA 360 offers a platform for developing, deploying and maintaining SOA applications and also for future upgrades. It is designed to bring enterprise architects, business analysts and developers to the same table.

"BEA SOA 360 is the company's competitive weapon that will enable the company to deliver innovation that can adapt faster and more flexibly to changing business conditions," according to BEA.

Chuang's presentation has focused pretty much exclusively on SOA. "I'm here to tell you with confidence that SOA is very real," Chuang said.

BEA also touted its Guardian Support Services offering for pre-emptive IT support.
