.Net architecture with mule soft
- 1. .NET architecture with MuleSoft
- 2. 2 Overview For .NET centric organizations, the options available to IT for connecting applications and services across diverse code bases on-premises and in the cloud are limited. This whitepaper outlines the critical elements to consider when evaluating solutions to move away from custom integration code while leveraging .NET investments to deliver a next generation service oriented architecture (SOA).
- 3. 3 TRADITIONAL SOA SOLUTIONS HANDCUFF IT TO .NET Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port SOA was envisioned (and sold) to help IT organizations optimize agility, minimize time and reduce the cost required to develop software solutions for constantly changing business needs. However, for many, this grand SOA vision has become bogged down in complexity, expense, and rigidity, the very things it was designed to solve. The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) has evolved as the core infrastructure and tool set required for enabling SOA, but the ESB tools from most vendors fail to deliver on the SOA vision because they:
- 4. 4 Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port Require hefty upfront investments in software, hardware infrastructure, and armies of expensive consultants to implement Focus too much on a single vendor or platform, for example; requiring organizations to choose .NET or Java, but not both. Most ESB vendors do not invest sufficiently in adapters for platforms and applications from other vendors Use development models and tools that are complex and rigid, making it very expensive to hire and train integration specialists to create or maintain data connections
- 5. 5 Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port Next generation integration platforms deliver SOA, SaaS integration, and APIs The challenges that SOA attempted to solve are still impacting the enterprise today, however over time the challenges have evolved, and are forcing technology leaders to rethink their IT initiatives. Organizations that have embraced this evolution are part of a new breed of companies; the New Enterprise. The New Enterprise is changing IT architectures to deal with the following mega trends
- 6. 6 MULTI-PLATFORM, HETEROGENEOUS ENVIRONMENTS Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port Enterprise architects often attempt to reduce complexity by confining their organizations to a single vendor, platform, or development language. This approach limits future flexibility. It is inevitable that departments or teams will have preferences or requirements that drive them to adopt an alternative technology. Company mergers and legacy systems introduce additional complexities that require a different approach to account for the many different language patterns, custom applications and connection services
- 7. 7 CLOUD Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port Cloud computing has radically changed how enterprises think about their IT architecture. With business groups banging down the doors to get access to new, more powerful Software as a Service (SaaS) products such as Salesforce.com and Workday, IT organizations have had to rush to customize their infrastructure to keep up with services and security demands. In the new cloud connected world more and more of these applications are based in multiple languages, including Java or other functional languages, and the best solutions may not fall within current developer skillsets.
- 8. 8 ROBUST CONNECTIVITY Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port You shouldnât have to spend your time building connections to an integration platform, look for a robust adaptor and connector network that quickly gets you up and running both on-premises and in the cloud. When the need arises, an open SDK and 3rd party marketplace greatly increases the pool of applications and protocols you have access to. Itâs critical to ask the question: how frequently are new connectors and adaptors created for my integration platform?
- 9. 9 ROBUST CONNECTIVITY Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port MuleSoftâs Anypoint TM Platform addresses the needs of .NET customers in the New Enterprise. Along with over 120 connectors to the most popular SaaS applications and on-premises systems, MuleSoft has developed Anypoint Connectors for Microsoft to address the needs of Microsoft centric IT organizations. Included connectors: MSMQ AMQP Active Directory SOAP/WS* (WCF interoperability) REST (ASP .NET WebAPI interoperability and native JSON support) SharePoint SQL Server Microsoft Dynamics GP Dynamics CRM Dynamics Online Excel/CSV Yammer
