In today’s fast-evolving technology, organizations are looking at SOA as an architectural solution to provide a robust platform to connect and interoperate various services and applications across the enterprise. But as businesses undergo change, including mergers and acquisitions, the number of platforms, consumers and services can increase rapidly. With the rise in the number of services, the need for tracking and managing these services for better visibility and governance becomes evident.
Service Registry Framework addresses this need by maintaining a centralized repository cataloging all the business services and provide information on any existing services. It enables real-time monitoring of services and provides provision to identify exceptions that occur during Business Service execution with the detailed view. It also allows administrator configuration and facilitates service SLA configuration for all the critical Business Services.
In dynamically changing business environment, various challenges arise such as:
- Without a centralized repository of information about services, it is difficult to discover and access the right services for a task.
- Monitoring parameters such as availability, uptime, response time and traffic for each service becomes difficult without a single view of real-time data of all services.
- A lack of visibility and governance of services can lead to service proliferation and duplication as well as regulatory compliance issues.
- As businesses become more complex, managing policies, contracts, services, SLAs, internally or externally becomes challenging.
