Flamenco WSM On-Demand

A managed WSM service for enterprises that want to outsource IT infrastructure. Flamenco WSM on-demand also appeals to enterprises who want to pilot WSM capabilities quickly and easily without a major upfront investment.

From a single interface, you manage all the Web Services in your enterprise and even across firewalls, regardless of what platform they were created on or what application is requesting them. Think of Flamenco WSM as a soft appliance--it plugs into your network and takes control of inbound and outbound SOAP messages. As Web Services deployments grow, you need a single point of visibility into and control over your organization's mission critical Web Services and their consumption of other's Web Services. That's Flamenco WSM.

Heartbeat Architecture

Flamenco WSM utilizes a patent-pending, heartbeat architecture with distributed proxies that create an abstraction layer for Web Services management. This facilitates reuse of code - the underlying applications and services are never touched. All of which makes Web Services more economical, and easier to deploy and maintain.

Flamenco WSM Proxies are federated - the same principle as DNS - and managed by a single Flamenco WSM controller, no matter how many proxies you're running. Flamenco WSM addresses both your provider-side and requester-side management issues. You can even deploy WSM Proxies to partners outside your firewall for maximum security and monitoring. We call Flamenco WSM network-attached smart infrastructure: It's lightweight, fast and scalable. Think of it as reliable distributed computing software.

Scalability

Your organization may be starting out small with Web Services, but the real value will come as Web Services scale. Flamenco WSM lets you scale a Web Services deployment easily:

It makes it easy for you to systematically roll out your services with provisioning features (helpful tip: Your Web Services won't deliver business benefits until they're being used).

It facilitates reuse of common code, thus freeing your developers from having to build security and manageability into every service and calling application.
