Enterprise Architecture
Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software creates software systems to address business requirements quickly and cost-effectively. The time and money saved on development is wasted if the evaluation of the system is deferred, which leads...
to performance issues. To manage these issues, Infosys' experts propose a review of the architecture from a performance perspective. It will identify and resolve performance issues early in the lifecycle. This white paper covers critical areas of COTS-based systems that must be reviewed in such an exercise.
This article proposes a practitioner’s toolkit for assessing enterprise wide process modeling initiatives using Composite Enterprise Process Modeling (CEProM) framework. The assessment framework...
would assist practitioners to assess an organization’s state of affairs relating to maturity and implementation of enterprise process modeling.

In this white paper, our experts evaluate all established meta-models and frameworks of Enterprise Business Architecture and extract the key ingredients...
to build a meta-model of their own. This composite meta-model, they say, can lead to a better definition of business architecture and consequently, effective business analysis.

Service Oriented Architecture(SOA)
In a dynamic business environment, service versioning is a business imperative since consumers do not update to the latest service version promptly. Service versioning minimizes...
the impact of change made to a service on the consumer's experience.
In this two-part series, Infosys' experts address change management concerns, and highlight issues involved in service versioning and approaches to achieve successful versioning, the architectural impact of versioning, and different techniques to manage the impact of versioning.
Enterprise architecture (EA) ensures business-IT alignment. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) bridges the gap between business and IT through well defined, business...
aligned services.
The objectives of EA and SOA are quite similar. However, while EA is a framework that covers all dimensions of enterprise IT architecture, SOA provides an architectural strategy that uses the concept of a 'service' as the underpinning business-IT alignment entity. This article highlights the dependencies between an EA framework and an SOA strategy from an artifact point of view.

Enterprises are gravitating towards service-oriented architecture (SOA) to re-design their IT for the future. As with all other technologies, the adoption of SOA involves risks. These risks often manifest themselves...
during an SOA solution implementation and arise primarily due to insufficient detailing in the design of the SOA. This paper identifies some of the risks across different viewpoints of an overall SOA-based enterprise architecture. Awareness of these risks can help designers and architects adopt appropriate measures to continuously evaluate and mitigate them.
Systems Integration
Data Centers operate in a dynamic landscape. Applications and data in the production environment change constantly and get replicated to a remote Disaster Recovery...
facility on a regular basis. To develop an effective Data Center migration strategy, you need to evaluate all the facets of your IT environment.
Our e-book proposes an end-to-end approach to migrate large Data Center environments. Our approach helps you meet regulatory requirements, realize cost efficiencies, and improve availability and recoverability of business IT services.
Traditional server consolidation achieves cost reduction through consolidation of hardware and software but often compromises performance, availability...
and agility. Server consolidation using virtualization technology offers simplified architecture while reducing... costs and enhancing agility and flexibility of an enterprise. This paper showcases the benefits of virtualization using Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors to consolidate servers and reduce total cost of ownership.
The need to achieve system performance in a way that reduces risk and improves cost-effectiveness and time-to-market for performance-critical systems is one of the principal goals of...
IS organizations. It requires a holistic and quantitative approach to performance, without compromising on other system qualities such as flexibility, maintainability, reliability and usability. Infosys has put into practice such an approach by combining practices in performance engineering with client delivery experience. Adapted to ensure collaboration among globally distributed application development teams, it combines performance modeling with benchmarking, tuning and optimization to deliver high-performance systems.
