Choose an ESB topology to fit your business model
Selecting the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) topology that most closely matches the design of your business is an important step in applying service-oriented architecture (SOA) principles to achieve your business transformation goals. This step brings your IT infrastructure into alignment with your business design in light of your style of governance. Topology describes those properties of a geometric shape that remain unchanged by deformation. An ESB topology, therefore, is composed of related ESB segments with their properties and relationships. Both the structure of the business and the company s approach to governance -- in other words, the placement of decision-making authority within the organization -- should dictate the visibility and management of ESB-enabled services. Choosing the ESB topology that best fits your business structure and governance approach maximizes business benefit. This article analyzes some multisegment ESB topology patterns in view of this paradigm and offers guidance to help you make this important choice.
