Interesting Links for February 5th

Links that I have found interesting for February 5th:

• Home – Phurnace Software – Phurnace Software helps you accelerate your delivery of production-ready Java EE™ applications. Our flagship product, Phurnace Deliver™, all but eliminates configuration-related errors, and dramatically reduces your dependency on scripting. Some of the world’s most advanced Java shops rely on Phurnace Software because we understand what it takes to manage and deploy enterprise applications.
• Thoughts and experiences of an enterprise architect: SOA – Dead or alive – I believe for virtualisation to become mainstream we would need ability to procure, provision & manage services in a location independant manner(a.k.a. in the cloud). We would need some form of semantic compatibility guarantees on the fly (kind of expected in semantic web). At this stage of evolution we may also see an ITIL like methodology evolving for business service management.
