Build SOA applications on industry’s high performing Java EE Application Server-Oracle WebLogic Server!

Organizations should keep pace with dynamic business needs. For an IT enterprise, this may translate to making its software infrastructure so robust as to withstand the competition and the dynamic business needs of customers. SOA has anyways solved this problem by making the services loosely coupled, platform independent, coarse-grained, and flexible so that they can be easily aligned to the business goals.
 
As per the Gartner report(See: http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=125868), the IT industry is expecting 80% of application software revenue growth from the products based on SOA, so the applications responsiveness becomes very critical. Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS), a proven high performance application server provides a solid platform for building and deploying SOA applications.

The WLS architecture consists of domains each of which are a logical grouping of one admin server, many managed servers and many clusters. These provide high scalability, reliability, enabling failover and load balancing for many types of distributed applications including SOA.

In a WebLogic Server cluster, application processing can continue even when a server instance fails as we can cluster application components by deploying them on multiple server instances in a cluster. So, if a server instance on which a component is running fails, another server instance on which that component is deployed can continue application processing enabling the high availability of services.

It provides extreme scalability as the capacity of an application deployed on a WebLogic Server cluster can be increased dynamically to meet demand. You can add server instances to a cluster without interruption of service so that the application continues to run without impact to clients and end users.

Streamlined management can be done by configuring and monitoring application server instances across clusters and domains from a unified management environment. We can even identify the critical bottlenecks by profiling, monitoring, and managing applications in production without impacting the runtime behavior.

The connection and configuration problems can be reduced with easy linkage to Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Oracle applications. It is easy to configure and add domains. Configuring to different managed servers can also be done with ease, to support fail over and load balancing.
