TECHNOLOGY VISION ROADMAP

***Lets begin by taking a look at the evolution of real-time enterprises.

The INFRASTRUCTURE layer began with single computers that got networked into a LAN and then into a distributed WAN called the Internet.

Similarly, the Services that leveraged the Internet called the web services layer began with simple work-flows and business processes as crafted by business users of enterprise information.

As multi-vendor applications and data needed to be available, Enterprise Application Integrators (EAI) like Tibco and Webmethods have deployed EAI infrastructures in a classic hub-and-spoke architecture. Most enterprise web-services are deployed on these custom-built back-end EAI deployments.

However, the journey towards becoming a real-time enterprise requires four fundamental requirements that cannot be met AFFORDABLY both in terms of time and money by current back-end EAI deployments.Real-time Enterprises demand:A real-time availability and adaptability of business processes by business-users, thereby necessitating the solutions to be trivially easy to install, debug and deploy, and we will take a look at some examples.Performance that leverages the growing infrastructure bandwidth and availability Scalability from the dynamically fluid front-office requirements to the easy integration into the back-end EAI as well as enabling devices of any type including the mobile wireless devices to be a part of the new real-time enterprise nervous systemAnd most critically the solutions need to easily integrate into existing EAI back-ends and provide a path to new and developing architectures and benefits such as the peer-to-peer architectures - AFFORDABLY*Lets take a closer look at Enterprise Information Architectures that are members of the Service Grid.

The Networking and Compute Hardware forms the foundation.Traditional EAI systems, like Tibco solutions, form the next layer of integrated applications.And in the last few years, the Web Services vendors form the layer closest to the consumers of the information customers, partners, employees and key business-users.

When put to the test by business-users modifying business-processes, there exists a HUGE CHASM between solutions in either layer. The CIO, stuck with a mandate of bridging these two is facing technical and budget solutions such as:Business-users want Drag and Drop simplicity and responsiveness of creating workflows by tying various services together, without the usual 4-6 week delay and a lot of expense. Making a change in their workflow should be as easy as manipulating a spreadsheet!In the age of doing more with less, each additional service or the task of modifying each additional service should not have have to involve expensive consultants and custom-code per change!As eBusiness information gets global, it is imperative that the deployment and debugging of the overall solution can be done securely from remote locations for all the obvious benefits.CEOs are demanding long-term ROI and TCO benefits of their next investment. Building solutions that adhere to open standards maximize TCO potential by ensuring lower risks of being locked into proprietary solutions. And finally, customers are tired of vendor lock-ins such as Microsofts .NET v/s Suns Java, or solutions geared towards business-users but not rich and powerful enough for developers, or having to choose between extending the traditional hub-and-spoke v/s the peer-to-peer choices.

Net: As customers get more power over vendors in the current economy, they are demanding each of the critical items without having to trade one off against the other.

Tifosi is the ONLY Web-Services Operating Platform that delivers to all of these requirements as we shall discuss through this presentation now.*There are several end-markets that can benefit from Tifosi as a Services Integration Platform, as shown in the top-tier. Based on feedback from our customers over the years, integrating diverse applications within businesses is our first target market. Our initial successes in this market as evinced by our recent $3.5-Million win at POSCO, Korea is a testimony to Forresters finding in a recent report on the size of the EAI market. Forrester claims that the global-3500 companies will spend an average of $6.4-Million EACH in 2003 on their EAI needs.

With Tifosi, we have enabled the centralization of key administrative tasks such as Security and Applications while enabling a network of Tifosi Peer Servers (at $1k/each in volumes) to exchange data in a peer-to-peer fashion.

You get the best of both worlds: Centralized control, and a fluid, limitless scalability with the Peer Servers.

With Tifosi, you can shrink your 12-24 month EAI projects down to 3-6months, at costs that are a magnitude lower than current budgets for EAI. *Before we get to discussing details of the FioranoESB, here is a high-level view of incumbent architectures.

Most of the current Hub-and-Spoke middleware (some with shared storage), requires every single message between the integrated applications to have to traverse a centralized Integration Server the HUB.

These architectures deploy a publish/subscribe model which forces each service (as we have defined it) to embed in it all the routing information for the message itself consisting of topics and queues that come into play.Burying the routing into the service itself has a debilitating effect: The services are not easily reusable.

Other penalties with the hub-and-spoke architecture include: (read through the list on the right).

Now, lets take a closer look at how Fiorano solves these problems at an architectural level.

*Hub-and-Spoke architecture deficiencies addressed and resolved by the Fiorano ESB Architecture include:In a hub/spoke system, all data and control information flows through the hub (and how we are different)The hub is a single point of failure; the way out is multiple hubs which incur exponentially growing costs (ditto)Business logic is split between the hub and each spoke; hence, changes are difficult to implement and result in linearly increasing overhead costs (ditto)Mapping distributed business processes onto centralized hub-and-spoke architectures is unnatural and become prohibitively difficult to scale (ditto)Most importantly, hub-and-spoke architectures are most amenable for DEVELOPERS as end-users, and due to their inherent complexity, difficult for business-users. (ditto)*Think of FioranoESB as consisting of three layers and all messages as consisting of DATA and CONTROL packets:

The top layer consists of Fiorano Peer Servers with their local store/forward and security controls. A ring of arbitrary number of Peer Servers enable peer-peer DATA routing.

FioranoMQ forms an Intelligent Messaging backbone that load-balances all CONTROL messaging traffic to an arbitrary number of centralized Fiorano Enterprise Servers. So, for instance, when you create/modify this service (point to the CRM box in the left hand Peer), it gets registered into a reusable services palette with control signals to the FMQ backbone and on down to ALL connected Fiorano Enterprise Servers (FESs).FioranoMQ leads JMS messaging servers in performance and scalability metrics, and is interoperable with other MQ-products.

And finally, the FESs provide an innately fault-tolerant support for FioranoESB deployments with centralized tasks as mentioned in an earlier slide: Security, Application repository and so on.

FioranoESB can be easily inserted into existing EAI deployments by bridging between FioranoMQ and the resident JMS messaging servers. Some of our customers are deploying FioranoESB in a hybrid mode, and once they see the benefits with FioranoESB within the context of their requirements, the FioranoESB Effect spreads across their current EAI deployments drawn by a clearly superior ROI as measured by customers themselves.*This is a summary of three high-level benefits with FioranoESB.

The benefits versus competitive architectures are: (read the right hand boxes)

*This is the next level look at each benefit, and the FACTORS leading to these benefits.

We contend that Scalable Performance is THE metric to be used instead of just performance or scalability in isolation. Heres how a combination of FESs (Control traffic) and Fiorano Peers (Data) help CTOs achieve fine-grain VISIBILITY and control over scalable performance. (Talk through the Aggregate Traffic on the LHS/bottom)

There are several factors driving up the ROI (Returns on Investment) of EAI solutions. A key driver is the notion of Reusable Services. It should be possible for programmers to create and register their services into a centralized palette and have it be instantaneously available to any business-user within the enterprise seeking to alter/create a business process to match a new business scenario. These reusable services are analogous to the macros in a spreadsheet.

We spoke earlier of how incumbent pub/sub paradigms force the embedding of routing information into each service rendering the reusability of services as a complex, expensive proposition.

Fiorano ESB enables reusable services as shown in these two examples (numbered boxes on the RHS).In the first case, you could take EXISTING/Legacy applications, write or take an off-the-shelf adapter for this service, wrap them with code as enabled by a Services-wizard, and voila! you have just ESBized your legacy service.

The critical difference between the Fiorano ESB approach vs. the incumbent approach is that with the Fiorano ESB model, the developer can (if desired) be completely oblivious to any notion of Topics and Queues. That is, the developer does not have to even maintain a Topic/Queue hierarchy, since all Topics/Queues are created at runtime on demand as dictated by the business-flow requirements.

In the second case, you could write a new service without having to worry about embedding ANY routing overheads. You have two APIs, with N:inputs and X:outputs. This is your programmers sandbox. When plugged into the FioranoESB Network (consisting of distributed Peers and Fiorano Enteprise Servers riding the FMQ backbone) when plugged into this network, FioranoESB instantaneously creates all the routing information needed to ensure correct functionality as expected with incumbent solutions.*Lets talk about Reliability - and High Availability.

Recall our earlier slide about the 3-tier IT stack. Assuming that the foundation-layer and the applications-layer are RELIABLE, the entire enterprise applications and data the lifeblood of any modern business are now ONLY as reliable as the Services Integration Platform! Most incumbent solutions address reliability by demanding redundant replication of the Integration Servers which are an expensive proposition, and add further complexity.

With Fiorano ESB, High Availability is BUILT-INTO each component of the stack.

At the highest level, each a SERVICE can designate another instance (on another machine) as its fall-back in case of its failure. This enables a SERVICE level failover, and as we have defined it, a workflow/distributed application is a collection of services.

At the Peer server level, each Peer can designate a secondary and a tertiary target in case of a failover. Its local store/forward state-engine, as well as queues and messages are instantaneously replicated onto the secondary and tertiary Peers enabling a message level failover.In the event of any messages in transit during a Peer failure, the messages can be retrieved from the secondary Peer. The Peers, by backing each other up in real-time AND ensuring no loss of messages due to any failed Peer constitute a SELF-HEALING FioranoESB Network.

The FioranoMQ servers can be deployed in a fault-tolerant active/standby configuration, or as a server-cluster to achieve higher reliability spread across multiple machines.

And finally, the FESs act in a manner similar to the Peers, with the difference being in the content that is replicated and failed over between FESs.

When either a Peer or a FES is re-inserted into the network, it syncs-up to current operational levels transparent to the business-users using Fiorano-powered business processes.

Reminder: Role-based Security and access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can administer, monitor and control all the availability aspects that form a robust highly available system, as discussed in the next slide.

*Lets talk about Security.

An Enterprise Service Grids Security and Governance policy includes empowering security administrators to limit access and control of a business process at the user, service, and component levels. Fine-grained security support enables a seamless security implementation inside and outside corporate firewalls. Messages can be securely transported using HTTPS and SSL protocols (client and server-side certificates and authentication supported). Security certificates can be stored redundantly in multiple Enterprise Servers (ES) across the Enterprise Service Grid network.

*The power of an ESB to solve an Enterprises integration problems has been discussed by several leading Technology Analysts such as Gartner, IDC, Saint Consulting and others. Says Steve Craggs, VP of the EAI Industry Consortium ESBs offer an excellent basis for integration, delivering a flexible and adaptable environment that enables integration projects to be put in place productively, effectively and in a staged manner. Adds Roy Schulte, Vice President Research at Gartner Inc. An ESB can be a sensible first step toward a systematic Enterprise Nervous System because it provides the basic connectivity backbone. It can interoperate with a variety of disparate application servers simultaneously, smoothing over technical differences and also providing services for communication and integration.
