"Cloud and SOA are not really synonymous; they're more supportive of each other...SOA enables cloud computing." - Mamoon Yunus
"There are three or four things that can get you to a place to take advantage of cloud computing..." - John Woolbright
It's not often I record a podcast with two other speakers, but I recently had the opportunity to do so with Mamoon Yunus, CEO of Crosscheck, and John Woolbright, current CIO of Omega Financial and former CTO of Synovus Financial.
It's an in-depth podcast in which both speakers sound off on the following hot topics:
- The architectural moving parts that are necessary for building SOA
- Defining cloud computing
- SOA and cloud: synonymous or not?
- Whether the current economy is hurting or helping cloud/SOA adoption
In the second half of the podcast, Woolbright talks a bit about the real-life business applications Synovus Financial built based on SOA. He also compares and contrasts the scale and scope of the deployments at Synovus and Omega, and explains why he choose certain components and what the advantages and disadvantages of each approach were.
