SOA v/s Big SOA


SOA v/s Big SOA

• SOA as “service-orientation” - application design approach

• The basic goals of service-orientation are:

– to make an application easily accessible for diverse callers and

– to segregate the application’s capabilities from business

processes.

• Big SOA started as a simple methodology to put multiple applications under a single IT umbrella architecture.

• Big SOA is about wrapping all of your enterprise applications inside an overarching set of software and tools to create a “single system view”.
