Network Products

Network products need to be reliable and adaptable to the changing needs of your employees and customers. If your network products cannot meet your requirements, you may find you need to add in new functionality or to take on additional network monitoring products to keep your network products operational. Traditional software design can make additions of functionality and the creation of new network products difficult and time consuming. Service oriented architecture (SOA) offers an alternative solution, utilising modules of functionality in order to quickly create new applications rather than creating entire applications from scratch.

By registering with us, you will be given access to online guidebook son SOA provided by Oracle, leaders in service oriented architecture. You will also be contacted by a representative of Oracle to discuss the opportunities your business may have to create adaptable and reliable network products using service oriented architecture.

How does service oriented architecture work?

The essential basis of service oriented architecture is its modular nature. Service oriented architecture creates applications such as network products out of services, which are individual units of functionality that provide a specific business process. An application is formed by using middleware to define the relationships between services, so that they may interoperate effectively and correctly for the needs of a particular application. As large block of functional software may be reused, and are meant to be reused, service oriented architecture potentially allows for the creation of new network products and other applications on a much smaller timeframe than using traditional software design.

How can more reliable and adaptable network products be made using service oriented architecture?

As service oriented architecture is modular, it is theoretically quite simple to add a new set of functionalities to existing network products that have been designed with service oriented architecture in mind. You simply need to know what kind of functionality the network products or network management products require, find a suitable service or have a suitable service created, then add the service to the existing application and have the middleware changed to incorporate relationships with the newly added service. This potentially allows network products to have new functionality incorporated very quickly and possibly even at a very low cost. The needs that business have in their network products tend to be similar, so if another company using service oriented architecture for network products makes a service for a fairly vital and universal change in functionality, you may be able to purchase the use of that service which can end up being less expensive than taking on the development costs of new software.
