Agenda

• The new world of integration• IPaaS• Dell Boomi• Snaplogic• IBM Castiron• MuleSoft CloudHub• Informatica Cloud• Windows Azure EAI

IaaS, iPaaS, Cloud Integration?

Enterprise Integration?

But Things Have Changed….

A SaaS World

Entire Cloud Ecosystems

Is Not Just About SaaS

Is About Designing, Building and Leveraging Entire Cloud

Ecosystems

Cloud Integration

• B2B Messaging• Cloud to cloud integration• Cloud to on-premise integration• On-premise to cloud integration• On-premise to on-premise????????

Introducing the Integration Platform as a Service

An Ipass IS

• Messaging and integration capabilities delivered as a service

• Seamless integration with SaaS providers

• Secure connectivity to on-premise systems

• Rapid development and integration templates

The Market Leaders

• Dell Boomi• Snaplogic• IBM CastIron• MuleSoft CloudHub• Informatica Cloud• Interesting Vendors: Microsoft

Connectors, Filters• Flows are packaged in Applications•

Management Through CloudHub Console

Development in Mule Studio

MuleSoft Analysis

• Pros: – Symmetric on-premise cloud

experience– Large Connector ecosystem– Vibrant partner community– Extensive deployment footprint

• Cons:– CloudHub is not a collaborative

environment– Mostly seen as an on-premise engine

Informatica Cloud

• Cons:– Agent dependency– Lack of Extensibility– Sequential Models

Windows Azure EAI & EDI

Service Bus EDI & EAI

• Service Bus Connect• Rich Messaging Endpoints• B2B Messaging

Rich Messaging Endpoints

Message Processing Bridges

SB Connect

• SBConnect: An application that hosts the Management API that runs in the ManagementService.svc WCF web service. This WCF web service runs continuously monitoring the LOB Relay.

• LOB Relay: When a LOB component is added, an application with the same name is also created. This application hosts the RuntimeService.svc WCF web service. A runtime service is created for every LOB component in the Bridge Configuration application. So if there are 15 LOB components in the Bridge Configuration application, there will be at least 15 RuntimeService.svc WCF web services IIS.

B2B Messaging

• Trading Partners• Business Profiles

Summary

• IPaaS is becoming a driving force in enterprise integration solutions

• IPaaS is not only about integrating with SaaS systems but about leveraging cloud computing as the infrastructure to deliver integration solutions

• The old wave of integration platforms falls short to deliver in a cloud and SaaS dominant world.

• Start small, iterate
