WSO2: Bringing Cloud Computing and SOA Together November 2009
Evolving computing landscape
Software distribution channels Download and run on customer hardware Data center: Private Resource sharing: None implied Scaling: Single to cluster Buy appliance and plug-in Data center: Private Resource sharing: None Scaling: Single box Buy virtual machine and run on cloud platform Data center: Private or public Resource sharing: Virtual machines Scaling: Single to cluster to elastic Software as a service Data center: Public Resource sharing: Multi-tenant Scaling: Cluster or elastic
Motivations for Cloud Computing Self Service and Instant-On Elasticity and Pay-as-you-use Simplicity Good enough for the job Get your own back on the BOFH! ( http://bit.ly/8XknmH)
SOA & cloud computing
WSO2 SOA Platform
WSO2 cloud computing Cloud virtual machines: software virtual machines WSO2 products as Amazon EC2 & VMWare images Cloud connectors: connecting the cloud to the enterprise Cloud Services Gateway Service Accelerator Cloud services: SOA software as a service Governance as a Service Cloud middleware: building multi-tenant services & applications
 
Cloud Virtual Machines  for Amazon EC2 Virtual machines packaging all WSO2 SOA products Advantages Self-service deployment (swipe credit card) Zero configuration Pay-as-you-go Automatic scaling as load increases Initially supporting Amazon EC2 Plan to support other public clouds as well Amazon EC2 Pricing Introductory pricing: $0.01/hr for any machine Later (estimated): $1/hr for small machines, $1.50/hr for medium and $2/hr for large

Cloud Virtual Machines  for VMWare Virtual machines packaging all WSO2 SOA products Advantages Self-service deployment Zero configuration Automatic scaling as load increases Initially supporting VMWare Plan to support other private clouds as well Pricing is like any other server Starts at $8000/server
 
WSO2 Cloud Services Gateway
WSO2 Cloud Services Gateway Provides a managed, secure gateway between the cloud and services in the enterprise Applications API protection Service firewalling Private data access Outsourcing computations Security verification Public WSO2 Cloud Service Gateway Developer tool for any developer to experiment with CSG Available as a cloud virtual machine Pay-as-you-go Zero configuration Trivial to publish services from any WSO2 middleware in the enterprise
CSG - Architecture
WSO2 Service Accelerator Decouple QOS from backend services and plug them to  a layer that can process messages under high throughput. Powered by
 
Cloud services
Governance as a Service Offering an opportunity to manage Governance in the Cloud No software setup Each company can configure their own Governance Registry Can optionally publish some data publicly (e.g. B2B service entries) This is something customers are already doing Using Google Spreadsheets, etc Multitenant, hosted version of WSO2 Governance Registry Free to use for limited use Volume based pay-as-you-go after that Each tenant (domain) can have their own theme and manage their own user community Complete Self-service
 
Middleware for multi-tenancy Data management Provided by Governance Registry Identity / security management Provided by Identity Server Service hosting, mediation and management Provided by core Carbon framework User interfaces & portals Provided by Gadget server Billing and metering Management and monitoring Provided by BAM
Multi-tenant Applications
Cloud middleware Middleware for the cloud will be combination of multitenancy and other cloud functionality built into WSO2 Carbon, and WSO2 hosted service offerings of various parts of the SOA stack An evolving story – look out for information in early 2010
Summary of WSO2 cloud offerings
Cloud announcements & WSO2 Carbon WSO2 Carbon is our componentized SOA platform All WSO2 products are powered by WSO2 Carbon WSO2 Carbon core is being muti-tenant enabled and becoming middleware platform for cloud SOA WSO2 Cloud Services Gateway is essentially a few new Carbon components WSO2 Governance as a Service uses multi-tenant capacity now built into WSO2 Governance Registry Power of WSO2 Carbon at work!
WSO2 Openness Promise Any software you download from us is always open source Any service you use from us will support all applicable interoperable protocols and support relevant open data standards Any cloud virtual machines or appliances you buy from us will allow you to take complete control of your data For all services, cloud virtual machines and appliances, we will provide a “one button” mechanism to get a complete data export that can be loaded onto our corresponding open source product(s) No ifs, no buts, no gimmicks Open Source, Open Standards, Open Data, Open Services
Summary Comprehensive strategy covering all aspects of SOA and its reach into cloud computing Clear statement on openness Simple, straightforward value-driven pricing scheme Future Support for other cloud platforms including KVM and HyperV Full SOA *-as-a-Service Middleware for multitenancy
