Heterogenous Integration

As the IT is maturing and so the enterprises, I see a lot of potential for heterogenous integration. Lot's of unkown challenges are there in the integration architecture. As the technology matures to new levels , opening doors for new ways of doing things , the complexities in the integration space can be potentially handled easily.

Blockchain for a "Secured" AADHAAR

AADHAAR  is gradually becoming the “Most Important” digital identity (like a social security number in US) for the citizens of India. It is considered to be more important than any other identities such as Passport, Driving License, PAN card etc. as it is being recognized as the “Mandatory” proof for the authenticity of an Indian citizen, for all the Govt. as well as private transactions, starting from availing the subsidized residential gas benefits  to operating a trading account or even getting a Passport. Because of this, the secured accessibility & immutability of that digital identity is very critical. The AADHAR card once issued to a citizen should not be subjected to change especially in terms of AADHAAR number, name of the person etc.; Any compromise on AADHAR can lead to problems related to mistaken identity. Storing AADHAAR information in a Blockchain platform is a natural choice , as Blockchain offers "Cryptographically" secured decentralized storage...

Heterogeneous Cloud Integration

Heterogeneous integration is common scenario in the Enterprises where their IT portfolio is based on heterogeneous platforms. Various solution approaches such as message broker, messaging middleware, SOA – service based integration were employed to address heterogeneous integration challenges.   These solution approaches were good when the integration happens on premise, with in the data centers of an Enterprise. Problem here is non-availability of “elasticity”.   With the Enterprises started leveraging cloud platforms extensively for various solution aspects such as elastic computing, storage, it opens new capabilities that can be leveraged for heterogeneous integration. Also, similar to existing on premise scenario, Enterprises are also leveraging multiple cloud platforms to address their business needs. This scenario will pose same integration challenges as those that were faced within on premise datacenters   Within datacenters / on premise, integ...

Follow-up : Evaluating Application Architecture, Quantitatively

Since the publication of my article “Evaluating Application Architecture, Quantitatively” in the 23 rd issue of Microsoft’s The Architecture Journal , Iam receiving lots of questions / encouraging comments / wishes / suggestions. I never expected such a response back from the architects’ community around the world and result is this follow-up. In the article ‘Evaluating Application Architecture, Quantitatively’ which is outlining the framework for evaluating application architectures quantitatively, it is been specified that for a positive response to every question / statement in the questionnaire / checklist '1' will be assigned and '0' will be assigned for a negative response. When a set of questions / checklist is used for an application architecture evaluation, some of them may not be suitable for a particular context. Say for example, you are evaluating an application’s architecture that is meant for intranet only. So, in that context, assume that you are...
