The component asks the bartender via Web Services:
“Gimme a beer”
Bartender:
“What kind of beer?”
The component thinks a minute.
“I didn’t know you’d have more than one. I just want a beer.”
Bartender:
“What kind of beer?”
Component:
“A plain one.”
Bartender:
“What’s plain beer? How about a bud?”

One of the concerns with cloud bursting specifically for the use of
addressing seasonal scaling needs is that cloud computing environments are
not necessarily PCI-friendly.
But there may be a solution that allows the application to maintain its
PCI-compliance and still make use of cloud computing environments for
seasonal scaling efficiency.
Cloud bursting, a.k.a. overdraft protection, is a great concept but in some
situations, such as those involving PCI-compliance, it can be difficult if
not impossible to actually implement. The financial advantages to cloud
bursting for organizations requiring additional capacity on only a seasonal
basis are well understood, but the regulatory issues that surround such
implementations hinder adoption of this method to address cost-effective
capacity increases when necessarily only for short periods of time.
But what if we archit... (more)
Gordon Smith in Silicon Republic has a nice article today on the analyst
coverage of the recent Vordel-Axway news. He summarizes the responses from
Gartner and Forrester analysts. He notes that:
Industry analysts have welcomed the news last week that Ireland’s Vordel is
to be acquired by the French software group Axway. Paolo Malinverno, a
vice-president of research with Gartner, has been tracking both companies for
several years. He classified the deal as the combination of a leader in the
enterprise B2B space with a smaller, focused player specialising in API
management and SOA governance. “This unites an industry leader with a much
more innovative company and literally unifies the market and multiplies it,
to some extent,” he said. “It’s a good match and it’s definitely a
case where the total is greater than the sum of the elements.” Stefan

The fact that you're reading this article means that you are probably
planning a service-oriented architecture (SOA) initiative and recognize that
some level of governance is required in order to be successful. If you are
like most people in this position, you are also somewhat confused as to the
meaning of SOA governance. Governance is the current buzzword, and combining
governance with SOA creates a phrase that every independent software vendor
(ISV) wants a piece of. How do you sort out what is marketing hype from what
is truly valuable and relevant to your organization's SOA efforts?
Governance Scope Within an IT Organization
Much of the hype around SOA governance has been focused on operational
governance. Defining, tracking, and managing factors like service-level
agreements (e.g., average response time, peak response time, average
throughput, peak throughput) ... (more)
