These slides supplement a blog series that reviews classic integration requirements and outlines four new requirements that are driving the demand for cloud integration in the enterprise. The four new requirements are: 1. Resiliency to changes 2. Fluidity in hybrid deployments 3. Non-existent lifecycle management of the platform 4. A modern platform for SMACT To learn more, visit: http://www.snaplogic.com/blog.

#1 Resiliency To Changes

Schema changes

API changes

New data field requirements

Loose coupling

Late binding

Smart linking

Every little change doesn’t break integrations

Reduces rework

Makes the hub and spoke architecture possible without enforcing a canonical schema

PainPoints

PlatformExpectations

Why You Should Care

#2 Hybrid Architecture Fluidity

Apps move

Data source changes

Data gravity shifts

Multiple dashboards

Firewall holes

Deployment flexibility

Integrations shouldn’t break

Single dashboard for entire infrastructure

Standard HTTP and HTTPS

Responding to app and data source changes is expensive and causes critical delays

Impacts business agility

Dual management and monitoring of a distributed deployment is a nightmare

#3 Lifecycle Management of Integrations

New software versions

New connectors

Management of configurations and customizations in distributed environments

Self-upgrading cloud

and on-premise software

Global configurations

Automatic management of customizations

No IDEs

Always stay current with vendor innovation

No costly downtimes for patch application

No costly downtimes to upgrade configurations and customizations

#4 Modern Platform for SMACT

ETL vs. EAI dilemma

Social data

Mobile-enabling of apps

Exploding IoT and log data volumes

Elastic scale

Lightweight JSON (not XML)

Native REST support

Data streaming capabilities

No need for two platforms – one EAI and one ETL

Fewer skilled resources, lower licensing costs

Limited capacity planning for integration projects

Compact JSON means higher performance, lower hardware requirements, and mobile-ready applications

No mobile middleware necessary
