Service-Oriented Architecture: An Integration Blueprint

Grid computing/Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP)

Grid computing and XTP are the new integration technologies, which are likely to become increasingly popular over the next few years.

• Grid computing: An infrastructure for the integrated, collaborative use of resources. Grids can be broken down into Data Grids, In-Memory Data Grids, Domain Entity Grids, and Domain Object Grids on the basis of their primary functionality, and are used in a wide range of applications.
• XTP: This is a distributed storage architecture, which allows for parallel application access. It is designed for distributed access to large, and very large, volumes of data.
