Experts say SOA technology should adopt cloud computing pricing Model

SOA expert Dave ' Let's face the problem: there is no guarantee that SOA technology is successful in the enterprise, ' says Linthicum. We paid millions of dollars before the server went online, and then we found out that the SOA project didn't meet our expectations, and the project failed. This kind of thing is not very familiar?

' I'm not blaming the SOA technology vendors for the failure, Linthicum said. In many instances, SOA architects did not ask the right questions, nor did they test them. When you do this SOA project, the failure is taken for granted. However, if you look at this issue from an SOA architect's point of view, they will say that they have to increase the cost of SOA when the budget allows them, and that the technology can be specifically conceived to work as advertised.

Cloud computing providers offer a pricing model based on usage charges. If the technology doesn't work, you can cancel the service as if it were powered off. Therefore, the cloud provider should provide good service under the stimulation of interest. Otherwise, their income will fall sharply. In fact, cloud service providers are taking risks rather than users taking risks.

So why not use the cloud pricing model for field-applied SOA technologies? They can only get paid if they provide value. If there is no value, they will not get income. ' I and those who pay for linthicum SOA projects seem to think this is fairly fair, ' he said.

Here's the challenge: any SOA technology vendor should make sure that its technology can add value to an enterprise SOA project, and that it should spend money to justify what it says is true. Offering a pricing option based on a service may charge more for a change in risk. In so doing, you will really support your technology. And you will provide more value in the future, spurred by this interest.

SOA technology vendors are moving in this direction as service-based pricing approaches become increasingly popular and cloud computing continues to add traction.
