SOA and Real Life

Real Life Client Benefits of Cloud Computing and SOA

2012-01-17T09:51:00.000-05:00

A summary of the technology achievements and benefits I was responsible for at my previous client:

Load Balanced Private Cloud:

Ability to “scale out” and “scale up” all web applications as well as searchable databases
On-demand ramp up of resources to accommodate infinite additional traffic
Instant cloning capability through virtualization – no additional resource configurations required
Content Delivery Network (CDN) – all media (images, videos, etc.) distributed through Akamai’s CDN, with infinite horizontal scalability

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Services available for all business processes – search, listing process, tracking, reporting
Achieves perfect alignment of business needs and IT infrastructure
Lower development costs, faster integration, rapid assembly, shortens deployment time and reduces risk of failure
Results in more agility and business profitability

Automated Location and Property SEO

Geo-spatial database integration with infinite SEO scalability for locations
Incorporates all locations types: country, state, metro area, city, postal code and neighborhoods enhancing the user’s search experience
Active listings decoupled from inactive listings at the data layer to remove search/listing display load while maintaining SEO page cache

Technology Marketing Tools

Daily saved searches/property alerts automatically pushed to the user’s Inbox
OpenEMM setup for weekly newsletter

LeadViewer.com

Custom built high performance business-rules engine
Scalable to accommodate lead routing from an infinite number of clients (web applications, mobile applications, etc.)
Location based routing capabilities, with price ranges and subscriber capacity handling
No incremental subscriber cost

No preaching, no "just theory" lessons - this works and can definitely be achieved.

TrendMicro - wake up IT, c'mon now!

2011-09-13T21:18:00.001-04:00

So we just found out Houses.com that TrendMicro was categorizing Houses.com as UNSAFE. Really? I understand if it was myhousesreviews.com, allcoolhouses.com, etc. BUT A TOP LEVEL DOMAIN name like houses.com?

Mr. CTO/CIO what are you doing here? You're trying to compete with heavyweights McAfee and Norton, little things like this matter Sir/Ma'am! Fix your algorithm please. Now http://www.houses.com is finally SAFE, but categorized as Auctions??? Why, because we list Home Auctions on the website?

Yes, I am critical because I do all I can in my space to be the best at what we do. TrendMicro, so should you...

Drafted First Fantasy Football Team

2011-08-06T15:19:00.000-04:00

I wanted to get an idea of how players are ranked, what others are drafting, where Ron Mexico is being drafted, etc. So 2 days ago I drafted my first fantasy football team. For those who know me, I do about 10 team a year, so getting a head start is not a bad team. Yes, they are all money teams - not a serious gambler, but people in money leagues are more serious, attend the draft, participate each week, etc.

Ended up drafting 11th (snake draft). I prefer PPR leagues. Each week I need:
1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex (RB/WR), 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST

Not too bad a draft... Worried about my RB2 a little, but should have plenty of WRs as trade bait later on:

Round 1 (11): Megatron (WR) - AJ and Roddy White already gone
Round 2 (2): Mendenhall (RB) - who else runs the ball in Steeler town
Round 3: Gates (TE) - he puts up mad PPR numbers, worth a high pick if he can replicate last year
Round 4: DeSean Jackson (WR) - not bad for a WR2
Round 5: Addai (RB) - maybe should have taken Felix Jones, but Addai is a monster PPR RB unless he gets hurt
Round 6: Percy Harvin (WR) - can't go wrong with this Flex
Round 7: Ryan Torrain (RB) - Reggie Bush got drafted 1 pick before
Round 8: Mike Thomas (WR) - not bad last year, only good WR in Jac
Round 9: Jay Cutler (QB) - say what you want, but the boy can throw
Round 10: Mike Sims-Walker (WR) - Bradford needs someone to thrown to in St. Louis
Round 11: Thomas Jones (RB) - the only RB left in the draft that did something last year
Round 12: Mike Williams (Sea) - let's see some of last year's stats and we have some trade bait
Round 13: Kyle Orton (QB) - poor guy, gets no love, LOVE HIM! Broncos will keep him, last year he was great, could be good trade bait or end up being a QB1
Round 14: Atlanta Falcons (DST) - not just another Defense, one that will be better than last year
Round 15: Mason Crosby (K) - kicker, who cares
Round 16: Visante Shiancoe (TE) - just in case Gates gets hurt, it's not like McDabb has someone other than Percy Harvin to throw to.

And that's that! Drafting another tonight, will do 1 every 2-3 days.

Domain for sale - 'soaportal.com'

2011-07-28T10:38:00.000-04:00

Back in January 2006, I purchased both soahub.com and soaportal.com. I wanted to create an information portal dedicated to nothing but Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and didn't know which domain would work best. I launched SOAHub.com and never did anything with soaportal.com.

Since then, SOAHub.com has become what I expected it to - search on Google for anything from 'SOA Consulting', 'SOA Solutions', 'SOA Services', 'SOA Jobs', 'SOA News' and 'SOA Forum' and we should be in the top 10.

If anyone is interested in 'soaportal.com', please contact us. You can use the contact us form on SOAHub.com, or the contact us form on XWebServices.com.

Property.com Domain Names Acquired by Leading Online Real Estate Group to Capture Share of $11 Trillion Commercial Property Market

2011-07-20T15:32:00.003-04:00

Condo.com and Houses.com, two leading online residential real estate portals, today announced the acquisition of the category domain names Property.com and Properties.com. Property.com is well-positioned to succeed as the Company’s third real estate portal, differentiated by the additional property types offered within the massive commercial real estate market. The site will showcase office space, retail properties, multi-family buildings, industrial and warehouse space, land, and residential properties from all over the world.
-------------------------------------------------------

Condo.com and Houses.com, two leading online residential real estate portals, today announced the acquisition of the category domain names: Property.com and Properties.com. Property.com is well-positioned to succeed as the Company’s third real estate portal, differentiated by the additional property types offered within the massive commercial real estate market. In addition to a comprehensive database of residential inventory, the site will showcase office space, retail properties, multi-family buildings, warehouses, industrial space and land from all over the world.

Richard Swerdlow, CEO of Condo.com, Houses.com and now Property.com stated "the acquisition made perfect sense for us. We are now able to leverage our online real estate platform, licensing and team to expand into the broader global commercial property market - including office, retail, industrial and land. It is exciting to have the opportunity to create leading online real estate portals across all property types, satisfying a growing global demand from property owners, buyers and sellers that are increasingly using the web for property searches.” The commercial real estate market is one of the largest asset classes in the United States with over $11 trillion in value and the potential size of the marketing and data services industry for commercial real estate professionals is approximately $30 billion. “We hope to secure market share through the use of our platform and category domain expertise,” he added. The combination doubles the Company’s potential market size.

The domains were acquired from Rick Schwartz, an entrepreneur known as the “Domain King” who previously sold Candy.com, iReport.com and other high-trafficked domains, and who also puts on a leading domain name industry trade show. Owning the category domain name provides traffic, enhanced name recall and brand credibility that would otherwise take years to build. Schwartz stated "it was only a matter of time before these domains ended up in the right hands. I am very happy to be partners with the Condo.com and Houses.com team and know that with the proper execution of their plan for the domains, we will have an extremely valuable web asset.” Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition is well-timed with the momentum in the online real estate market, including Zillow’s (Nasdaq: Z) successful IPO today.

Property.com (http://www.property.com) will be launched in Q4 2011.

About Houses.com and Condo.com

Houses.com and Condo.com are the world’s largest marketplaces for houses and condominiums. The sites showcase over 4 million properties for sale, rent and vacation in the United States and 70+ countries around the world. The sites receive 1.5 million+ visitors per month and cost-effectively deliver exposure and qualified leads to builders, real estate professionals and homeowners. In addition to property for sale and rent, site visitors have access to a wide variety of real estate-related products and services including mortgages, credit repair, home improvement, moving and more. The Company is privately held and headquartered in Miami, Florida. For more information, please visit Houses.com (http://www.houses.com) and Condo.com (http://www.condo.com).

You can read the entire article on Yahoo News as well. Yes, the 2 websites already running are built on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and so will Property.com. And Yes, we are leveraging the cloud.

Here comes your Houses, Property and Condo CIO

2011-07-18T18:11:00.001-04:00

And... It's done. I am now the CIO for:

Houses.com: Homes For Sale, Buy Real Estate, Housing Sales
Property.com: Property For Sale – Find Properties – Property Search (coming very, very soon, service oriented of course)

Of course, we also have:

Properties.com: Properties For Sale – Find Properties – Properties Search

SOA and Cloud - I was right before, and will continue to be right

2011-07-18T18:06:00.000-04:00

Let's see...

Back in 2002, I took this small company's (if you check my LinkedIn profile, you'll get it) Web Architecture and made happen MyMerchantOffice.com and MyAgentOffice.com. At the time I fought hard to get "web" into their "business model", which was mostly paper based and relied on FoxPro for anything and everything. Just checked a couple of LinkedIn profiles for the people I fought with, and sure enough, FoxPro is nowhere to be found, and now they are all .NET Senior Developers - righhhhhhhttttttt...

DCOM and then SOA??? I was considered an "outcast", I was "complicating" things, but I stuck to my guns and all my apps even back then were service oriented, loosely coupled, etc. Hey, I saw it coming!

Then in 2005 I created my own Web Services, SOA Solution and SOA Services company and immediately launched SOAHub - Service Oriented Architecture Portal.

Getting lots of Google love for SOAHub.com. "SOA News", "SOA Jobs", "SOA Forum" are nothing compared to the money makers - "SOA Consulting", "SOA Implementation", "SOA Solutions", "SOA Services". Beating the big dogs, IBM, Oracle, you name it.

So what's next? Of course Cloud and SOA. I let all the "cloud pundits" beat their drums, and we are we are today. But I see it coming, so this Marine is present and accounted for:

Cloud SOA Hub - Everything Cloud Computing and Service Oriented Architecture related

And not to get scammed:

SOA Cloud Hub - Everything Service Oriented Architecture and Cloud Computing related

Sorry USAA, Oracle of Omaha's Lizard is right for me

2011-07-13T17:54:00.001-04:00

For the first time in a long time, I needed to buy car insurance. Since I will be in Miami for some time, I had to leave my beloved Mercury Insurance policy in California after 13 years.

The first place I tried was a Mercury Insurance agent in Florida. The poor lady was very nice, but she was shocked at how little I paid in California and advised me to not even waste my time with Mercury, because in Florida their policies are outrageous. AAA was right around the corner, and since I have been a Premier Member, I figured I could finally get something for my "Premier" extra money I spend every year - never understood what I get extra, probably never will, time to move on. The lady at AAA was very nice and worked with me on a policy, tried Metlife and AAA, both of them turned out to be fairly expensive.

So I went home wondering if I could still get a good deal like I had in California. My record is not perfect, but it's still pretty good. No reason to pay an enormous amount for insurance if I don't have to. So, after seeing the ads on TV for USAA, I decided to give them a try. Online of course  Their policy was actually cheaper than both Metlife and AAA, so I figured I would purchase it.

Then I tried Geico. And sure enough, the Lizard delivered the SAVINGS!!! Thanks to my prior US Marine Corps service and my Navy Federal Credit Union accounts I keep open with $10 in them, I was able to receive a discount of $63 for my 6 month policy. Way to go Geico, you have a new customer.

Forum Systems Extends SOA and Cloud Governance Capabilities to Secure Managed File Transfer

2011-07-13T10:34:00.000-04:00

Forum Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Crosscheck Networks, Inc., today announced significant enhancements to its flagship Forum Sentry Gateway delivering real-time, protocol-independent, secure exchange of documents of any size among trading partners. Legacy Managed File Transfer (MFT) deployments can now leverage existing investments while extending and migrating their deployments to modern SOA and Cloud services.

This announcement follows closely on the heels of the introduction of Forum Sentry's Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities. It also reflects a dominant consolidation and migration trend toward Cloud and SOA Governance that enables centralized policy management, monitoring and security enforcement across the plethora of old and new message formats and protocols common within large companies.

Developed in the 1970s, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has long been the networking standard of choice for financial services, healthcare and government organizations to facilitate high-volume exchange of information including 401(k) participant data, X-rays and other diagnostic information, and tax documentation, respectively.

It's Now or Never - Investing in Your SOA Now Eases Challenges in the Future

2009-07-13T14:59:00.000-04:00

As more and more Web services integrate into core processing systems, the reliability and performance of these Web services becomes a primary goal for businesses. Companies must ensure that the Web services deployed are as sound as possible, because they serve as the backend driver for business processes such as customer-facing applications, CRMs, SCMs, etc. Outages for such critical components could cost companies large losses due to the business disruption.

This paper is the first in a series of three papers. It outlines the technical challenges in evolving Web services at the early stages of the SDLC, specifically from a testing perspective, and describes the main activities involved in addressing these challenges. The second paper will build on top of this paper by describing the challenges at the team level and how to establish an infrastructure to drive an efficient collaboration process and mitigate software risk with a visible quality process. The third paper in the series will explain how these challenges evolve at the organizational scale, and the environment that needs to be established for business risk mitigation within a more evolved SOA.

Global Telecoms Face 'Catch 22' as Order Fallouts Steal $38 Million Per Year

2009-05-12T16:28:00.000-04:00

More than half of telecommunications companies (54%) lose up to 10% of their annual revenues - up to $38 million a year - through failed transactions, according to research commissioned by Progress Software Corporation.

More than half of telecommunications companies (54%) lose up to 10% of their annual revenues - up to $38 million a year - through failed transactions, according to research commissioned by Progress Software Corporation. The survey of CIOs, senior IT managers and department heads across 61 global telcos also revealed that 95% lost money owing to transaction failures.

Order fallout appears to be driven by the growth in the number of transactions with three quarters of those surveyed experiencing an average increase of 26% in 2008. Of those telcos reporting a rise in transactions, 73% percent saw an increase in the number of failures - with those telcos reporting an average 42% increase in failures.
