BEA AquaLogic™
SOA Management

SOA promises greater business agility through a flexible architecture, one that enables faster integration, lower development costs and rapid response to change. However, these gains in architectural and business flexibility are accompanied by a marked increase in the complexity. With services-based applications, an organization is tasked with understanding and controlling a live, dynamic network of interdependent services, one that evolves quickly and includes application components beyond the control of the IT staff.

Governing this de-centralized production system is critical to success with SOA.

BEA's industry-leading AquaLogic SOA Management, part of the BEA® Enterprise 360° offering, meets the challenge brought forth by SOA by simplifying visibility and control at each stage of the SOA lifecycle. It ensures the health and well being of services-based applications by making them easy to monitor and manage, more secure and easy to upgrade. With BEA AquaLogic SOA Management, enterprises implementing SOA can realize the full potential of their flexible, standards-based systems. They can better understand system behavior and implement policies that automate performance management, remedy exceptional conditions and uphold security. Significantly, they can do all this without requiring special coding to the services or message tags, which would limit the evolution of the network and thus stifle business agility.

BEA AquaLogic SOA Management delivers critical capabilities at each stage of the SOA lifecycle—from development through QA and into production. Its benefits include:

• Delivers a bird's eye view of operational health and service dependencies
• Brings predictability and control to SOA systems
• Detects and prevents service problems for federated, distributed environments
• Detects, diagnoses and remedies exceptions before they can impact business
• Lowers application-support costs and IT overheads—rapid diagnosis and problem resolution
• Meets the assurances of your SOA
