BEA Announces SOA 360; Industry's Most Unified SOA Platform to Transform and Optimize Business

BEAWORLD 2006 - SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BEA Systems, Inc. today unveiled its plans for the BEA SOA 360 platform. The BEA SOA 360 platform is intended to deliver the industry's most unified Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform for business transformation and optimization, in order to help to improve cost structures and to grow new revenue streams. The BEA SOA 360 platform is uniquely architected with the newly unveiled BEA microService Architecture (mSA). The SOA 360 platform spans the three BEA product families -- Tuxedo, WebLogic(R) and AquaLogic -- and is supported by the newly previewed SOA collaborative tooling environment, BEA WorkSpace 360. BEA WorkSpace 360 is intended as the industry's first unified SOA tools to bring business analysts, architects, developers and IT operations professionals into a shared workspace for collaboration and interaction.

Critical to the adoption of shared or syndicated services is executive leadership sponsorship and the reliability and availability of SOA-based services. The BEA SOA for Executives is the first BEA suite of SOA consulting and education services for senior IT executives and is designed to help empower executives to invest in SOA and lead change within their organizations by conveying the business value of SOA. BEA also unveiled today its patent-pending BEA Guardian Support Service, which represents a radical departure from the traditional break-fix support model employed by the enterprise software industry, potentially eliminating the burden of reactive and proactive support services.

"BEA approaches every market opportunity with innovation, architectural excellence and an unyielding standard of reliability and availability," said Alfred Chuang, chairman and chief executive officer, BEA Systems, Inc. "The BEA SOA 360 platform is the result of nearly $500 million in investment and the complete focus of the company. Unlike our competitors, we believe that SOA is not only a market opportunity, it is a fundamental approach to business, enterprise architecture and our platform itself."

Interview with Dan Malks, Deepak Alur, & John Crupi of JackBe

http://sys-con.tv/read/239153.htm Live from JavaOne 2006 in San Francisco By: SYS-CON TV Jun. 21, 2006 12:00 PM I liked the fact that Danny Malks mentioned how JackBe is moving towards "lightweight" platform solutions direction with r egards to the convergance of SOA and the client while utilalyzing AJAX technologies. Sounds like a software model that could help other independent software vendors (ISVs), service providers and enterprises deploy their services exposed by their SOA as software as a service (SaaS). In addition, to not only creating meaningfull mashups, but provide a lightweight admin platform to regulate those atomic messages. Interesting listen from the former Sun team who brought us the J2EE bible. Only thing I noticed is that I had to quickly turn down my volume when John Crupi spoke a couple of times. He's so loud. I wonder if he's always so loud? Web 2.0, Mashup, Enterprise 2.0, AJAX, SOA, Composite Applications, Platform, Framework, l...

DC Metro Police

This happened to one of my best friends who just so happens to be of Pakistany origen. By the way he actually was born and grew up in OHIO. Way to go Metro and DC Police. "Last week I entered the metro with my wife. As usual, we were in haste and wanted to just board the train by making our way through the crowded gates. I have a Smart-card and replenish it once every 2 weeks. As i walked through the gate, i had -$0.30 on my card. If anyone has a Smartcard, they know that the card lets you be negative to a certain amount, but when you refill the card you have to make up the difference. That is a benefit of the Smart Card. But Officer BF Johnson didn't think so. He stopped me in my tracks, ordered me to approach him. He then ordered me to hand over my license and called the station to check for any suspicious (Obviously terror-related) activity from my end. He was telling me "you are riding on a negative balance, you are stealing from the metro". Yeah, lets call th...
