Analysis & Optimization
Optimization and Performance refers to the responsiveness and throughput of the system. Performance should be measured against of the Service Level Agreements (SLA). But the application architecture should do more than simply meet the SLA performance requirements – It should also allow for future growth and contingency.
Performance is an important consideration in any complex environment, and is generally expressed in terms of the response time, latency, or transactions per second. Each area has its own challenges and requirements for high performance. As an example, the key challenges for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) performance in Oracle Fusion environment are:
Performance is an important consideration in any complex environment, and is generally expressed in terms of the response time, latency, or transactions per second. Each area has its own challenges and requirements for high performance. As an example, the key challenges for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) performance in Oracle Fusion environment are:
- SOA is a distributed architecture. The SOA Service components and the consumers are highly distributed and communicate over the network. This would introduce network latency and other aggregation delays.
- SOA is built on the principles of loose coupling and location transparency. This introduces additional layers of abstraction in discovering and consuming SOA Services.
- Oftentimes, SOA involves intermediaries for mediation, monitoring, and management. This adds an additional cost to the performance.
- SOA requires support for heterogeneous platforms. This drives the need for standardized message formats and protocols that might not be the optimal from a performance standpoint. Creoal worked with one client to optimize its 2 TB Applications environment and reduced year end processing times by more than 40 percent.
