Web 2.0 and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) deliver greater business agility through the creation of highly distributed composite applications that orchestrate components or sub-systems to form higher-level functional systems or target applications. Composite applications can provide tremendous advantages in terms of flexibility, business agility and productivity.
Service Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) provides an architectural approach for connecting intelligent network services to enterprise applications to deliver superior business solutions. SONA provides a framework for network services to support composite applications, ensuring reliable, scalable, secure, and predictable performance across diverse network environments.
