Threats
With high transfer volumes, there is the risk of a
performance bottleneck, if it is not separated
from normal traffic (for example, separate bulk
channel)
This form of architecture is ideal for:
Very high performance requirements (event-driven architecture)
1:N data distribution (for example, broadcasting)
N:1 database (for example, data warehouse)
Service-oriented architecture

The core of a service-oriented architecture, and the main distinction between this
form of architecture and those described earlier, is the fact that business processes
and applications are no longer coded as complex program structures, but are
orchestrated as independent, distributed service calls.

An ESB is used as the central integration component for service calls. It has similar
properties to those of the integration platform in hub-and-spoke architecture, or of the
bus in pipeline architecture. A SWOT analysis is shown in the following table

Strengths
Low follow-up costs
Very flexible architecture
Compliance with standards
Supported by all major software
houses
Opportunities
Individual systems can be
implemented and orchestrated
easily
Weaknesses
High startup and infrastructure
costs
Requires a comprehensive SOA
strategy and governance
Threats
Lack of focus on relevant
business processes
