IONA Artix Registry/Repository

Artix Registry/Repository is:

• designed for complex, heterogeneous IT environments
• enables customers to design, build, deploy and manage a network of business services
• provides a complete system of record of services in a distributed SOA environment

The unique ability to drive and streamline the deployment of services into a distributed SOA network differentiates Artix Registry/Repository from all other governance solutions that only serve as an archive, resulting in:

• Increased services reuse - a searchable list of services with related metadata are available to all development teams to reduce the proliferation of redundant services
• Developer efficiency - metadata on existing services is used as a template for automatic service provisioning, reducing development cycles and promoting consistency
• Enforced governance - deployed services are validated against stored policies for managed SOA governance across the entire service lifecycle

Key Features

Capture and Discovery
Extracts contracts, configuration, and enterprise Qualities of Service (QoS) information about existing services and stores it as metadata in a searchable registry to facilitate service reuse and impact analysis

Service Provisioning
Automates new services configuration and creates customizable build scripts for compilation and packaging, eliminating error-prone and time-consuming manual provisioning

SOA Audit and Validation
Deployed services are validated against user definable rules for architectural consistency, schema usage and QoS application for continuous policy governance

Visual Service Manager
Eclipse-based tooling console edits rules, relationships and BPEL orchestrations, to help architects govern, audit usage, and identify areas of reuse within a SOA network
