Leading Provider of Solutions for SOA Quality Joins HP, Infravio and Others to Promote End-to-End SOA Interoperability
Hollis, NH — June 12, 2006 — Mindreef®, Inc., a
leading provider of solutions that enable organizations to build and
maintain high quality service-oriented architectures (SOA), announced
that it has joined SOA Link – an industry initiative focused on
creating a complete solution for SOA governance and interoperability.
Announced in May 2006, SOA Link is a multi-vendor initiative organized
by Infravio, Inc., the SOA Governance Company. SOA Link was founded to
bring together multiple vendors that provide products for SOA
governance to mutually interoperate. It also serves as a catalog of
interoperable solutions in SOA and can assist IT buyers in establishing
product integrations or vendor alliances.
Through SOA Link, Mindreef joins AmberPoint, HP, Infravio, IONA, JBoss,
NetIQ and other SOA vendors in a commitment to providing interoperable
SOA solutions. Mindreef’s integrated tools support quality-driven SOA
by ensuring compliance to standards and best practices, enabling
efficient problem resolution, and facilitating service reuse.
Development teams at Wachovia, Fidelity National Financial, Charles
Schwab, and more than 1,000 companies worldwide use Mindreef products
to successfully build, test, and maintain effective Web services and
SOAs.
"Mindreef is a great addition to SOA Link," said Miko Matsumura, vice
president, marketing and technology standards at Infravio. "Mindreef’s
products in the SOA Link ecosystem will help assure the kind of service
quality and reliability which underlie agility and reuse.”
Quality-Driven SOA: A Foundational Approach
A key requirement for an SOA is that the components that comprise the
system be available at all times. This means that changes made to
individual components—either code, metadata, or a specific policy—must
be made dynamically. Combining a governance solution with a system for
dynamically analyzing and testing components ensures that changes are
checked for quality and interoperability prior to being re-introduced
into the SOA’s production environment.
Mindreef provides a comprehensive solution for SOA quality with Mindreef SOAPscope ServerTM.
An always-on, server based environment, SOAPscope Server works hand in
hand with governance solutions so that changes to an SOA system
component can be tested against all of the components with which it
interoperates before re-entering the ecosystem, ensuring that changes
will not negatively impact system quality.
"Mindreef is firmly committed to promoting quality-driven SOA, so we
consider joining SOA Link a positive step for us and our customers,"
said Frank Grossman, founder and president of Mindreef. "Driving
industry-wide SOA governance will greatly reduce the time it takes to
develop and deploy high quality, reusable Web services, while assuring
agility and adaptability as teams scale SOA to the enterprise level."
