Enforcing SOA Governance Policy with our Service Gateway

SOA Integrated Governance Today

SOA Governance is frequently pinpointed as the reason why service-oriented architecture-based IT projects may be considered successes or failures.

SOA Governance generally consists of three major components:

1) Design-time Governance: Refers to the phase in which services are designed and published with a service definition (WSDL). SOA repositories such as Software AG*'s CentraSite or IBM*'s WSRR solutions establish processes and controls associated with who can make changes to services, who receives notification when services change, and how impact analyses associated with those changes are typically addressed.

2) Runtime Governance: Refers to the phase in which the SOA runtime environment (an application server or an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)) relies on the repository to obtain service updates, associated policies, and other metadata that are required to make policy enforcement decisions.

3) Monitoring Phase: Refers to the final phase of governance, when service runtime quality of service (QOS) characteristics are made available to operators.

Intel's Comprehensive Gateway Security

Intel Expressway Service Gateway permits enterprises to develop a fully- integrated governance lifecycle for SOA, by delivering:

  • Standard UDDI support for SOA registry/repository solutions.
  • An integration framework and validated integration packages with proven SOA Repository solutions, such as CentraSite and IBM* WSRR.
  • A full run-time governance environment that's capable of enforcing policies designed in SOA repository solutions, and based on standards like WS-SecurityPolicy and WS-Policy.
  • A policy enrichment capability, which permits policy artifacts to be added that aren't yet supported by such standards.
  • A rich monitoring capability that can be integrated with Security Information Event Management (SIEM) services, or other monitoring solutions.
