Personnel cited as critical to SOA governance	16 November 2007
While technology and the setting of policies often are cited as critical to SOA governance, an HP official Thursday emphasized another key factor: Having the right personnel.During a Web conference, officials from HP, IBM, Software AG and WebLayers all discussed case studies in implementing SOA, recalling experiences at clients such as Thompson Financial, NASA, IBM itself, and an unidentified auto manufacturer. The online conference was entitled "Keys to Business-Critical SOA: Governance IV."Financial services solution provider Thompson was mentioned by both HP and WebLayers, who are providing products like HP Systinet services registry software and WebLayers Center for SOA governance."One thing I want to highlight that really made Thompson successful here also was that right at the beginning of the process, they made a very concerted effort to attract and retain top-notch SOA professionals who understood the importance of governance," said Kelly Emo, HP director of SOA software product marketing."They have more than 800 services in their central repository now," she said.Scandinavian Airlines deployed SOA to deal with changing requirements, said Miko Matsumura, Software AG vice president and deputy CTO."The thing I think they started to do was look toward SOA as a solution for getting a handle on these essentially complex requirements," Matsumura said."I think one of the biggest requirements is dealing with heterogeneity," he said. Different groups were dealing with .Net, Java, a Tibco enterprise service bus, and a BEA Systems application server. The airline began using the Software AG CentraSite repository for governance, Matsumura said.Software AG was able to provide the airline with more visibility and control, said Matsumura said."I think the thing that really resonates with this customer in particular is the concept that change and time inherently produces complexity within IT systems," he said."What governance provides essentially is a rational way of managing the change," by providing policies that ensure that complex combinations of things do not result in adverse consequences, said Matsumura.Working with an unnamed auto manufacturer, IBM established a "center of excellence" around SOA governance, said John Falkl, chief architect for SOA governance in the IBM Software Group. The goal of the center of excellence should be to promote SOA and the adoption of SOA, Falkl said.In working with the company, IBM saw a need to align business and IT, he said.HP also worked with NASA on its ECHO (Earth Observation System Clearinghouse) program, which supports the Earth-observing community. The project is primarily about data as a service, Emo said."What the NASA ECHO project did was instill a governance process and a consistent methodology for enabling all these data services to be published and used both inside NASA and by their partners while they maintained control over how the services were actually published," Emo said.SOA was used to support publication and discovery of data resources from a number of providers. The project now features 70 million services.WebLayers helped implement a new architecture at GE Money, a large financial services firm that had been spending $1.1 billion on IT with 70 percent of that going to maintenance, said Guy Loewy, CTO and co-founder of WebLayers. The company wanted to focus more on new development and previously had failed with two previous revamp attempts involving a mainframe and new technology from other companies."The challenge that they had was they wanted to have global control yet provide each country and specific project control over their own policy," Loewy said."The biggest challenge with SOA is around politics and control," he said.
Video distributor to FCC: Stop ISP traffic 'throttling'	15 November 2007
A distributor of online video content has filed a complaint with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, asking the agency to stop broadband providers from blocking or slowing p-to-p (peer-to-peer) traffic.The petition filed by Vuze, which uses the BitTorrent p-to-p protocol to distribute Web content, asks the FCC to set rules for network management by ISPs. Vuze's filing late Wednesday follows reports last month that cable broadband provider Comcast slows some p-to-p traffic, including BitTorrent.Broadband providers often promote their services as being necessary for watching video online, but then they slow access to a service such as Vuze's, said John Fernandes, Vuze's vice president of marketing. "They say that they're engaging in reasonable network management, but what they're doing is slowing down some traffic," he said.Vuze, which has partnerships with several movie studios, television networks, and PC game makers, wants to start a dialog with ISPs about what kind of network management is allowed, added Gilles BianRosa, the company's CEO. But the FCC needs to prohibit large-scale content blocking, what he called traffic "throttling," he said."The ISPs cannot decide unilaterally what to do with third-party Internet services such as us," BianRosa said. "We need to work with them to design a solution that works and is fair."By blocking or slowing video and other Web content, ISPs are fighting against customer demand for more multimedia services, BianRosa added. "We think that ISPs are spitting into the wind with that kind of approach," he said. "This kind of blocking has to stop."Representatives of two large broadband providers, Comcast and Verizon, didn't immediately respond to a request for comments on Vuze's FCC filing. Comcast has denied blocking Web content, but some broadband providers have opposed other attempts to create rules against blocking some types of traffic, saying they need to be able to ensure quality of service by managing their networks.The FCC has all the authority it needs to "address claims of unreasonable conduct," an AT&T spokesman said. "Broadband providers must have the ability to manage traffic to provide all consumers with high-quality service," he added. "Additional rules or legislation are totally unnecessary."Vuze's FCC petition is similar in some ways to calls by consumer groups and Internet-based firms for the FCC or the U.S. Congress to pass network neutrality rules, which would prohibit broadband providers from blocking or slowing Web content from competitors. The FCC has had an open inquiry into net neutrality rules since April, and a push to pass rules in Congress has stalled.But the Vuze proposal is more focused than net neutrality, BianRosa said. Net neutrality often includes other issues in addition to content blocking, including requirements for broadband and wireless providers to allow all legal devices to connect to their networks. Vuze is asking the FCC to "dig deeper" than the net neutrality debate, he said.Public Knowledge, a group promoting consumer rights on the Internet, praised the Vuze filing. Vuze is a good example of the harm caused by content blocking, said Gigi Sohn, Public Knowledge's president."Comcast's actions frustrate Vuze's business and force the company to devote resources to play a 'cat and mouse' game with Comcast in order to maintain superior service for its customers," Sohn said in an e-mail. "We hope the FCC acts promptly before even more harm is done to more consumers and to more companies."Earlier this week, a Comcast customer in California filed a lawsuit against the company, saying the provider has caused several Web-based programs to suffer performance problems. In late October, Public Knowledge and other members of the Open Internet Coalition filed a complaint about the alleged Comcast blocking with the FCC.Vuze, based in Palo Alto, Calif., distributes video in partnership with movie studios and television networks including the BBC, Showtime, and PBS. It also distributes PC games, music videos, and audio files. Company officials say the Vuze client has been installed by customers more than 12 million times since the company, formerly called Azureus, rebranded itself in January.
