Improve SOA Performance with Parallel Computing

Performance of critical business applications significantly impacts an organization's success. Many organizations are finding that not only is faster performance required to stay abreast of the competition, but also new and growing applications and business units are requiring an order of magnitude increase in performance. Compounding the complexity of this growing performance challenge is the popularity and rapid adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA), which can often lead to adverse performance implications to existing IT systems.The solution may be in Software Pipelines, which provides a scalable, flexible paradigm for implementing parallel processing. This article is the first in a series that explains how you can use Software Pipelines to address the performance challenge by applying a sensible and practical approach to parallel processing in typical, if demanding, business applications.
