Chalk me up as someone who's interested in how any of the registry/ repository products are being leveraged in the real world today, good or bad. I know all about the potential of these products, however, I've yet to have the opportunity to have first hand experience. Given recent publications on eBizQ, my blog, Aberdeen's research report, and Joe's SOA in Action blog, my interest is high. Specifically:
1) What's the percentage of people still using these tools strictly to assist developers in finding out what services are currently available? 2) Of those users, what have been the keys to ensuring it gets used or inhibitors (e.g. IDE integration)? 3) What's the percentage that are actually trying to integrate the registry/repository with enforcement infrastructure (e.g. AmberPoint, Actional, IBM DataPower, Cisco Reactivity)? 4) Of those users, what policy domains are being leveraged (e.g. security, routing) and where is policy management occurring? (i.e. Is the reg/rep strictly being used as a centralized policy store, effectively a view on the policies that have been pushed into the infrastructure?) 5) Is anyone integrating the reg/rep with an automated build environment or source code management system (e.g. CruiseControl, Visual Studio Team System, ClearCase, etc.)? On those last three, I'm really interested in whether companies have performed those types of integrations simply because the vendors said they could, or if they're actually seeing some significant operational benefits from it. Often, the only case studies you see are vendor sponsored, and may not actually represent what's really going on behind the scenes. -tb On Apr 17, 2007, at 8:36 AM, Gervas Douglas wrote: > --- In [email protected], "soalakota" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> I've been asked by a colleague in or enterprise services >> department to >> track down any horror stories associated with the Systinet 2 product >> suite.
