“In this book, David Linthicum does that rarest of things: he manages to combine showing why SOA and Cloud Computing complement one another with a lucid game plan of how a business can take advantage of the synergies between them in concrete ways that will contribute to the bottom line.”
―Jeremy Geelan
Conference Chair, Cloud Computing Conference and Expo series
Sr. VP, SYS-CON Media and Events

Massive, disruptive change is coming to IT as Software as a Service (SaaS), SOA, mashups, Web 2.0, and cloud computing truly come of age. Now, one of the world’s leading IT innovators explains what it all means―coherently, thoroughly, and authoritatively.

Writing for IT executives, architects, and developers alike, world-renowned expert David S. Linthicum explains why the days of managing IT organizations as private fortresses will rapidly disappear as IT inevitably becomes a global community. He demonstrates how to run IT when critical elements of customer, product, and business data and processes extend far beyond the firewall―and how to use all that information to deliver real-time answers about everything from an individual customer’s credit to the location of a specific cargo container.

Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence in Your Enterprise offers a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges associated with this new world―and offers a step-by-step program for getting there with maximum return on investment and minimum risk. Using multiple examples, Linthicum:
  • Reviews the powerful cost, value, and risk-related drivers behind the move to cloud computing―and explains why the shift will accelerate
  • Explains the technical underpinnings, supporting technologies, and best-practice methods you’ll need to make the transition
  • Helps you objectively assess the promise of SaaS, Web 2.0, and SOA for your organization, quantify value, and make the business case
  • Walks you through evaluating your existing IT infrastructure and finding your most cost-effective, safest path to the “cloud”
  • Shows how to choose the right candidate data, services, and processes for your cloud computing initiatives
  • Guides you through building disruptive infrastructure and next-generation process platforms
  • Helps you bring effective, high-value governance to the clouds
If you’re ready to begin driving real competitive advantage from cloud computing, this book is the start-to-finish roadmap you need to make it happen.

Review

Praise for Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence in Your Enterprise
“Cloud computing is a hot topic today in business circles for its potential to transform IT service delivery and galvanize service-oriented architecture. David Linthicum is one of the foremost authorities in the strategic application of technology to business, and this book is required reading for those looking to reap the rewards of cloud computing in the enterprise.”
―Dion Hinchcliffe
Enterprise Web 2.0 Expert and ZDNet blogger,
President/CTO of Hinchcliffe & Company

“In this book, David Linthicum does that rarest of things: He manages to combine showing why SOA and cloud computing complement one another with a lucid game plan of how a business can take advantage of the synergies between them in concrete ways that will contribute to the bottom line.”
―Jeremy Geelan
Conference Chair, Cloud Computing Conference and Expo Series,
Senior Vice President, SYS-CON Media & Events

“This book cuts through all of the hype and confusion of cloud computing and brings us back to the basics of architecture. Finally, someone wrote a book that is not just about semantics but instead guides us through a methodical approach for delivering solutions in the cloud. I highly recommend this book!”
―Mike Kavis
Chief Technology Officer of MDot,
Vice President and Director of Social Technologies for CAEAP

“David Linthicum has a talent for explaining how technology issues impact business decisions and strategy. Linthicum never gives you just another technical discussion about the latest tech fad. Instead, he explains the technology and the relevant business issues that both business and IT audiences need to understand before investing in cloud computing.”
―Loraine Lawson
Award-winning journalist and blogger for IT Business Edge

“As cloud computing stokes the embers of the SOA hype, practitioners can count on pragmatic and opportunistic advice from Dave Linthicum. Cloud computing brings time-to-value to SOA by leveraging other people’s work. In this excellent guide book, Dave shares a step-by-step plan for organizations to determine which of their services, information, and processes are good candidates to reside in, and come from, the clouds.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Cloud Computing and SOA convergence Book review
Reviewed in the United States on 21 March 2011

This book is a fantastic read for anyone that is serious about Cloud Computing.David has written a book that is both practical as well as educational. He has managed to bring two extremely challenging topics together in a way that is both accessable and useful for both techncial and business people.

He has cut through alot of the hype that currently surrounds Cloud Computing and explains it as a facilitator of Service Oriented Architecture. This will allow both business and technical leaders and decision makers to better adopt "the cloud" by viewing it as one facet of an overall architectural strategy.

This book might be useful for people who do not have much programming experience or have never encountered anything in a data center before.
However, if you are a seasoned software development professional this book is not for you. Very general. Very few concrete examples. No coverage of technical specifics of real products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cloud and SOA as a strategy is clear, detailed in terms of the big picture, but not extensive in execution.
Reviewed in the United States on 31 October 2013
Verified Purchase
The book provides the reader a clear path from history, evolution, to how companies are leveraging the cloud to execute on innovative strategies. If your wanting to gain insights into the potential of a cloud strategy, have a solid understanding of IT, and at least an entry idea of SOA, this will be a good book to expand your knowledge. It's not as detailed and specific as other technical books. Nor was it intended to. I think the book is written for executives and leaders that need to grasp the big picture, and some of the details, without needing to, or wanting to, get into the weeds.

For anyone new to cloud computing, what it is, how to assess it suitability to your environment, challenges you need to consider, thought process to assist in making some crucial decisions - this is it. The first few chapters provides a good deal of information on the aspects to consider on whether or not clouds is for your organization. If cloud is suitable for your environment, the second set of chapters outlines a through process driven by SOA, particulars on what is/not cloud material etc. Great book on this subject.
