BEA Unveils SOA 360 at BEAWorld Customer Conference (AMR)

BEA Systems outlined its next-generation SOA platform—called SOA 360—at its recent BEAWorld conference, attended by just more than 2,000 customers (mostly developers and architects). BEA is combining its three core product lines—Aqualogic, Weblogic, and Tuxedo—into a single platform based on something called the “micro-service architecture.” Essentially, they are taking SOA to heart in their product lines, service-enabling the core components and bringing them together into a single platform. In addition, they announced something called Workplace 360, a common tooling platform for all potential constituents (architects, business analysts, developers, and IT operations) that need to build or manage the BEA platform.
