To view on-demand webinar: http://ecast.opensystemsmedia.com/317 The world of enterprise infrastructure software is undergoing dramatic change. Driven by the need to improve efficiencies and optimize their businesses, companies that operate large, physical systems (sometimes called operational systems) at the operational edge are actively working to merge those systems with their IT business applications. Because enterprise and operational systems are designed around very different architectures, integrating these worlds into a coherent system-of-systems is a sobering technical challenge. For example, a typical industrial automation system might generate 10's of millions of discrete data points; how does the operational infrastructure move a dynamically changing subset of interest to the IT system's enterprise service bus without overwhelming the ESB and associated system resources? To meet the challenge, RTI has introduced RTI Connext, a next-generation software infrastructure that fully supports the business objective of integrating IT and OT (operational technology) systems. Based on the RTI DataBus™ which has been designed into hundreds of high-performance, distributed systems, RTI Connext combines the performance, scalability, and reliability needed by operational systems with the integration and flexible messaging capabilities of IT systems. Connext is the first edge-to-enterprise real-time SOA platform.

1. Edge-to-Enterprise Real-Time SOA
Curt Schacker
Chief Commercial Officer, RTI

2. What is an Edge-to-Enterprise Real-Time SOA?
• Communications infrastructure that supports both…
– Service Oriented Architecture Principles
• Well-established in Enterprise Computing
• Standardized Service Contracts, Loose Coupling, Abstraction,
Reusability, Discoverability, …
– Real-Time Principles
• Well-established in Embedded Computing
• Deterministic response times, low latency and jitter, extreme
reliability, …
• Solution to a quickly evolving business challenge
– Integration of two very different classes of systems
• Enterprise IT Systems
• Physical “Operational” Systems
