Presentation
Migrating legacy heterogeneous infrastructure to a SOA based platform in a complex DoD Netcentric Environment
In this session we first describe unique integration requirements and characteristics of a large complex DoD System of Systems (SoS), identify and document inherent integration risks followed by critical issues and unique integration challenges posed by these SoS. That is followed by the architectural principles which provide the required underpinnings for meeting these integration challenges. We then describe the approach for solving these integration issues and the levels of integration required with more in-depth focus on Infrastructure Integration.

In the second part of the session we describe how IBM’s IT infrastructure optimization methodology and modeling tools were modified to develop an approach for migrating DoD’s heterogeneous legacy infrastructure to a SOA platform.
