SOA Software
Announces Atmosphere Initiative for Cloud Services Governance Atmosphere products
are first to offer unified SOA and cloud services governance Los Angeles, CA – December 07, 2009 – SOA Software
today announced its Atmosphere cloud
services governance initiative. The Atmosphere initiative creates a
unifying brand for a suite of SOA and cloud services governance products the
company will deliver through 2010. The Atmosphere products will help companies
realize the enormous cost and agility benefits possible with the combination of
SOA and Cloud
services governance. “Governing the interactions between consumers and service
providers will be a mandate for any company using Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) or other cloud services and offerings. Even when the need for trust
is minimal, formally acknowledging that level of trust should be a mandate,”
said Daryl Plummer, Managing VP & Gartner Fellow at Gartner. “The
more you increase your dependence on cloud services, the more you will need to
establish and implement your required degree of trust between the consumers and
providers of the service. It will not be a "one size fits all"
determination.” The first product in the suite is Atmosphere Broker, a cloud
services broker providing service governance capabilities including visibility,
management, monitoring, measurement, provisioning, validation, and reporting
for cloud services. It can be deployed, at the service consumer, in the
cloud at the service provider, or as part of an independent cloud service
brokerage to govern access, performance, delivery of cloud services.
Atmosphere Broker includes advanced registry/repository, policy validation,
management, security and reporting capabilities. “Atmosphere products will help our customers and partners
realize the enormous benefits offered by the combination of SOA and Cloud
Computing,” said Paul Gigg, president and chief executive officer of SOA
Software. “SOA Software, already acknowledged by Gartner as a leader in
integrated SOA governance, is uniquely positioned to deliver unified SOA and
cloud services governance.” The Atmosphere product family will govern the plan,
build and run processes for SOA and cloud
services initiatives, helping customers in the following areas: ·
Integrate other initiatives such as legacy modernization and a move to
leverage open source into the overall planning process ·
Consolidate reporting into a single dashboard reflecting the combined
state of each Enterprise Service across all the strategic initiatives ·
Drive the adoption of multiple disruptive technologies at the same time
with an automated, predetermined process built into a single, consolidated
development repository ·
Automate development process governance to align with strategic
initiatives ·
Understand dependencies between Business Processes, Services and Cloud
service platforms ·
Provide visibility and management of a complex SDLC across multiple
development teams, actors, and disciplines, for example, require
application teams to submit appropriate service candidates before approving a
business process design ·
Enable component services to automatically inherit the SLA of the
overall business process and use it to drive the performance profile of cloud
platforms ·
Ensure that running services, and the infrastructure running them,
comply with policies identified for applications and business processes during
the planning process ·
Enhance the tasks supporting Root Cause Analysis across the enterprise
landscape ·
Provide automation of service SLAs & Capacity Management Atmosphere’s integrated set of products effectively
implement, enforce and audit common policies through the various stages of the
lifecycle and through process, service and cloud service platforms. This
allows cloud service platforms to automatically scale based on the SLAs
and measured performance of the services and processes. Pricing and Availability Available in Q1 2010, Atmosphere Broker will start at $50k
