Description

This was a joint project of the SOA Work Group and the Cloud Computing Work Group, which is now part of the Open Platform 3.0™ Forum.

Infrastructure Architecture is regarded by many as one of the three pillars of information technology, together with Business Architecture and Application Architecture. Service-Oriented Infrastructure results from applying the principles of service-orientation to this architectural pillar.

It is related to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) which is most commonly used to refer to the use of this principle in Application Architecture. A Service-Oriented Infrastructure forms an appropriate foundation for a service-oriented Application Architecture (and for other styles of Application Architecture also), and can be regarded as a natural part of a service-oriented Enterprise Architecture.

The project has fulfilled its objective, which was to produce an Open Group standard framework for service-oriented cloud computing infrastructure.
