Sample Executive Summary from a Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture Workshop

This whitepaper offers an in-depth study of the Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) wokshop and the real-world problems faced by the customer. Although the authors have found that many customers are dealing with similar challenges - ranging from Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption through lean data center consolidation - each SONA workshop is customized to address the unique challenges of each customer. The main problem this customer asked Cisco to address was how to migrate several business-critical applications from one data center to another. The migration was necessitated by the consolidation of data centers following a merger and acquisition.
