Quickly discovering I wasn’t the only enterprise architect, services architecture type interested in cloud computing, I invited David Linthicum, SOA expert, enterprise architecture advocate, blogger, founder of Blue Mountain Labs, and all around nice guy, to speak at the March SOA Consortium meeting on the Intersections of SOA and Cloud Computing.
The podcast of Dave’s talk is now available from the SOA Consortium. What follows is the “blurb” on the podcast that I posted at SOA Consortium Insights. If like me, you are getting intentional in your cloud watching, I highly recommend this podcast.
“Linthicum opened by sharing the distinctions and connections between SOA and cloud computing. SOA is something you do, an architectural pattern. Cloud computing is an architectural option.

Introduced as “one of our more unusual sessions”. Session abstract:
“State government a hotbed of technology innovation – huh? But that’s exactly right. The Ohio Dept of Transportation has harnessed extensive infrastructure (thousands of sensors, historical & police data, etc.) and cloud services to create a rich solution. Through a series of demos, this session will showcase for delegates how the Buckeye State has created a rich user experiences for residents, visitors and internal staff conducting detailed traffic analysis. In doing so, we will see how the IT team looked beyond just using cloud services, to combining with what’s on premise, and then becoming a supplier of these services to others. We will also share follow-up resources that attendees can review for further reference and follow-up, including access to code libraries, code snippets from the discussion. Join the two presenters and see for yourself the combination of on-premise & services in action.”
Session speakers are Brian H. Prince, an Architect Evangelist with Microsoft and Steve Milroy,a solution architect with OnTerra Systems. The ODOT architect is home in Ohio, economy & travel restrictions. Sound familiar?
The session is doing a demo of buckeye traffic, a publicly available site. more >>

Jeff Bauer from Forbes.com starts by describing his business challenge: Make real-time quotes available the website, do it fast & cheap and the history of real-time quote availability and how the owners, availability and price of real-time data has changed overtime.
Decided to use BATS exchange for real-time data, gave them access to streaming data, but the data was in a raw format. Forbes didn’t have the infrastructure to transform the raw data into response to real-time stock quote requests. Forbes is a publishing company, not a technology provider.
Forbes.com decided to partner with Xignite. more >>
