Complete
Virtualization
We provide sophisticated
modeling tools that help you maintain a virtual
representation of all SOA applications, resources,
and compliance baselines.
Virtualization refers
to Object Modeling, which is one of our key differentiators.
Object Modeling is a tool for creating a virtual
representation of a physical system. Within SOAComply™,
the full range, diversity, and relationships among
your SOA applications, systems, and networks can
be represented by virtual objects. Organizations
that lack sophisticated object modeling tools
can’t operationalize or manage their SOAs
effectively.

| SOAComply™
allows you to create and manage three classes
of virtual objects:
Resource
Objects, which represent real resources
associated with an application.
Resources can be internal, meaning that
they are system resources known to SOAComply™
and managed through either a SOAComply™
agent or a compatible standards-based agent,
or external, meaning that they represent
an external environment from which SOAComply™
can acquire status information but for which
SOAComply™ cannot maintain its own
model of resources.
Application Objects, which represent
applications for which compliance information
is collected. There is one default
application, which is the System Baseline
application, which defines no states of
its own but rather simply reflects any system/resource
states defined for various operating systems,
administrative groupings, and other criteria.
Process Objects, which represent
contexts for which compliance status is
to be obtained. In effect, a process
object is a query about the state of the
installation based on presumptive operating
state information contained in the object.
Other object types can
be defined as needed. The SOAComply™
architecture is extensible.
