Links that I have found interesting for November 12th:
- The cloud’s most important equation – If you build a traditional data center platform for your application, you worry about three variables: The amount of traffic to your site, your capacity to handle that traffic, and the user experience they get, such as latency. The equation looks like this:
User experience = Traffic / Capacity
As traffic increases, user experience gets worse and delay goes up. This is because each visit to your site consumes resources on your infrastructure, and some users wind up waiting for the app to respond. Networks get full; databases encounter record locking; message queues back up; and so on. Ultimately, some of your visitors have a lousy experience.
On-demand computing platforms fundamentally change how you deal with this, because as far as you’re concerned, they have infinite capacity.
- ABC's Of BPM – Forbes.com – This week, JargonSpy takes a look at Business Process Management (BPM) and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and one that is just emerging, Business Process Expert (BPX). From the JargonSpy's point of view, unless you start thinking of the first two as a matched set, and then find people to play the role described by the third, you are going to be in a world of pain.

I agree, if I understand correctly that BPM is complimentary to SOA . A single service alone can be valuable although adding many services together to develop a business process with the opportunity to change quickly is most valuable.
Do you need a cloud of servers to run BPM and SOA? Or do you think it is possible to run that on a small mainframe also? i.e iSeries
After reading your article I wrote a blog about this too as well as played around with the SOA registry and business process modeler. This is some good stuff. P.S the performance of WebSphere ESB and Process Server is killer on AIX 6.1 on a 2-way power box.
