whitepaper Live Webcast: Virtual Service Oriented Grids: Transforming the Enterprise2008-04-22 Intel
  One of the most powerful features of computing grids is the capability of being able to identify and allocate resources needed to build and run an application on demand and in almost real time, without months of negotiation or waiting for the hardware procurement cycle to facilitate it.

While most discussions in the industry have been focused on the enhanced performance from grid computing in niche applications, the overlooked real payoff from combining grids with virtualization and service orientation will come in terms of a quantum jump in capability for business agility and flexibility.

With grid computing, three entities - data, storage, and processing - can be allocated independently and metered precisely to support most business goals. Thus, allowing a solution provider to put together a business application that best fit the goals of the application from anywhere in the world. This solution can be assembled from a combination of in-sourced and out-sourced components working seamlessly.

Join this live webcast with Q&A and featuring Enrique Castro-Leon, Enterprise and Data Center Architect and Technology strategist, Intel Corporation and Jackson He, Lead Architect, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel Corporation and hosted by James Hilliard of TechRepublic to learn how organizations can transform their enterprise via a virtual service oriented grids.

whitepaper IT Manager Webcast: Taking Control of Your Services With Service Virtualization (Level 200)2008-02-07 Microsoft
  Organizations are starting to reach the limits of their initial Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) efforts because of an inability to control, maintain, and trust their services for mission-critical applications. Service virtualization enables to overcome some of the limitations of service implementations by managing endpoints, operations, and policies, instead of Web Services Description Language (WSDL) tools. This webcast looks at the Managed Services Engine (MSE), a solution developed by Microsoft Services that facilitates service virtualization by applying Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Microsoft SQL Server. It provides an overview of the architecture that utilizes emerging patterns such as service repositories, runtime brokers, and dynamic behaviors that can support runtime execution through metadata and configuration.

This webcast looks at how organizations can attain a higher level of value from SOA through the development of a service life cycle management strategy. It looks at the end-to-end service life cycle, from service design, development, and deployment to versioning and retirement. The attendee will learn about the significance of infrastructure elements, such as repositories, registries, and intermediaries to facilitate and coordinate those stages.
