 Presentation
Service-Oriented Network Architecture in Action
In this session, Craig Hinkley, VP of Architecture & Technology for Cisco IT, will discuss how Cisco is executing a major transformation of their Commerce Business platform with SOA as a strategic enabler. A cornerstone of the successful execution of this project is Cisco's Service-Oriented Network Architecture, which uses "service virtualization" to help roll out new applications and services faster and more reliably with a level of business agility not seen before. Craig will also discuss the concept of the borderless enterprise and how the orchestration and abstraction of services away from the consumer of the service is critical in this new technology era where internal service infrastructure is blurring with that providing external services. The line between the enterprise, the customer, the employee, and business and personal is blurring, and the network architecture must be able to support this transition.
