02 Oct 2006 Grid technology and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) are merging, but how do you architect a solution that works within the SOA model and the grid model? In this tutorial, we will take a typical grid project and, using Web services standards, define the individual components in the grid so they operate within the SOA model. In this tutorial
This is a high-level architecture discussion, directed at IT architects and those responsible for IT design decisions for grid projects and applications in an SOA-based system. We will discuss the advantages of building a grid by breaking the grid application down to its building blocks and mapping them to the SOA model by turning each building block into a service that can be deployed on your SOA-based system. Follow along to see how SemiSili Inc., a fictitious small-business startup in the semiconductor space, reaps the benefits of SOA-enabling its grid. Topics covered: - Identifying grid components
- Splitting grid components into discrete units
- Applying the SOA model to the grid units
- Redeploying your grid through SOA
Prerequisites
The tutorial is a high-level architecture discussion, rather than a coding solution, that will cover how to identify grid elements, split them into services, and develop a solution that connects the services to rebuild the grid solution. For a good conceptual overview, see "Build grid applications based on SOA."
