Hewlett-Packard has introducedSOA governanceservices and software
to help drive SOA adoption andbusiness agility.
The set of
service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance software and
services will help companies drive increased SOA business value,
while reducing potential risks, such as service disruption to the
business, said HP.
In addition, HP announced the expansion of its Governance
Interoperability Framework (GIF), one of the industry's first set
of specifications for SOA governance interoperability.
SOA is an approach to delivering IT services in a secure and
manageable way that uses loosely connected, reusable and
standards-based technology that can be quickly aligned to changing
business needs.
It claims the HP Validation and Implementation Services for SOA
governance, performance and quality will help companies accelerate
delivery of SOA services, reduce risk and maximise reuse of SOA
services.
HP has also introduced services to install and configure HP SOA
Systinet and HP SOA Manager, to enable a quicker return on a
customer's software investment, HP said.
Also available is a new suite of SOA education and training
courses that help customers translate SOA concepts into effective,
governable service-based systems.
