The Service Network

I've identified 100 services that could be considered part of an enterprise "Service Network". These services can be sub-divided into two categories:
A. Services that fulfill non-functional requirements (the ilities)
B. Services that are functional building blocks to modern applications.

The service network goes far beyond queues, routers and transforms. It serves as the foundation for creating a true service oriented enterprise. Some of the items will be found in 'service fabrics' others in a 'service bus', but most will not. Rather, most of the services will end up levaraging your fabric or bus.

I will contend that is the job of the architect to begin creating your enterprise wide service network - lay the fabric, plug in a bus... do what you must, but start your network. Implement a consistent foundation for the other services. Demand that your infrastructure vendor explain *how* these services come together in their offering. Know which are in scope - which are part of the vendors roadmap - and which are not. Set your expectations - create a plan - and get moving!

In addition, be aware that not all web service infrastructure vendors are service vendors. Many of them focus on the "Protocol Network". That is, the layer beneath the Service Network that provides functionality through protocol realization (SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, WS-*, protocol tooling, etc.) In many cases, these vendors also have service network offerings. It is good to understand where their offerings start and stop - and how they help enable consistency in the service network.
