SOA Operations

Superior SOA Operations Drive Greater Business Responsiveness

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) can greatly contribute to business responsiveness by more easily enabling processes and services to respond to changing business conditions in real time. But managing SOA operations can be complex—and without innovative management solutions, it can be challenging to achieve a cost-effective, high-performance, scalable SOA runtime environment. For SOA operations to be effective, you need centralized management solutions with end-to-end visibility into the dynamic, loosely coupled, SOA environment. For enterprises that want market-leading solutions for SOA operations, Progress Software has the answer.

Progress Software Offers Innovative Solutions for Improving SOA Operations

Progress® Actional® for SOA operations delivers the functionality you need to optimize service-oriented architecture deployments. Actional’s non-invasive approach to managing SOA operations is made possible by technology that provides global views without the need for extensive coding and manual configuration. Actional gives you greater visibility into how services are being used and by whom, while improving IT productivity and reducing SOA development time and costs.

Actional provides tools for fast and accurate root-cause analysis of policy violations, exceptions, and other service processing issues. Violations automatically trigger an alert that creates a snapshot of the transaction causing the violation, allowing you to quickly pinpoint problems. Actional also provides:

• End-to-end visibility into service-level availability and SOA operations performance.
• Non-invasive approach to managing SOA operations, for cost-effective, enterprise-class scalability without the need for costly SOA management servers.
