Mobile networks and the TCP/IP standard have enabled simple, straightforward physical connectivity to back office machines from mobile devices. However, accessing many of the resources on those machines, such as databases or even application code, requires software to be installed on the mobile device. This can be expensive, extremely difficult to maintain, brittle and for many of the simpler mobile devices, too resource hungry to run. With the advent of Cloud Computing, connecting to such back office resources in the Cloud is more important than ever.
The SOA Gateway solution from Risaris Limited enables mobile devices to access and update these back end resources in a simple and cost effective manner. It offers the following benefits:
- No software installation on the mobile device which offers a number of advantages:
- It means that very cheap, small mobile devices with limited resources can communicate with Enterprise systems.
- No software installation means no software to be kept up to date on the mobile device.
- It means that mobile devices can connect directly "out of the box" to these back end resources. Existing solutions to get at this data requires complex middleware to make this work.
- The standards used are identical to those used already for getting at unstructured data such as gifs, sound files, videos etc.
- These standards work very well within the Cloud infrastructure.
- The SOA Gateway allows access to data on all platforms from IBM zOS mainframes to *Nix systems to MS Windows providing one point of access to your back end systems.
- The SOA Gateway provides a simple application to application communication mechanism to enable access to applications running on these back end systems.
