Service-Oriented Architecture
Service-Oriented Infrastructure
Service Orientation provides significant advantages for IT Infrastructure services. The main benefits are increased utilisation of individual resources (meaning less cost) and increased service levels as applications do not depend on the availability of any individual resource, but may use any one resource available in a pool.
Orchestrating Virtualized Components
The IT Infrastructure Technologies available today provide a full stack of options to deliver an end-to-end Service-Oriented service.
Each service within this domain can be virtualized via Schedulers and the required number of resources constituting a service can be managed via a highly automated provisioning process, ensuring standard quality and consistent behaviour of the Infrastructure Services. This applies to Servers, Storage, Networks, Directory Services, Databases: in fact for each component of the IT Infrastructure.
A Roadmap for SOI
Capgemini deploys a three-step model to bring the benefits of a Service-Oriented Infrastructure to an organization:
- A 3-day SOI Maturity Scan to assess the current state versus the best-in-class SOI implementation
- A 3-week Strategy & Mobilization engagement to define the Roadmap for the development of an SOI based ICT Infrastructure and to mobilize the organization around the plan
- An Implementation/Transition engagement to Design and Build the solution using Capgemini’s Infrastructure Design Framework.
