Organizations that have adopted Platform as a Service (PaaS) environments have reported significant
savings when compared to individual development teams managing their own solitary technology stacks.
In PaaS environments, you can design, test, and
deploy your application to the cloud without
the cost and complexity of purchasing and
managing the underlying hardware and software
and provisioning the hosting capabilities. Your
provider supplies the networks, servers, storage,
and other services required to host your platform.
Oracle SOA Cloud Service provides a PaaS
computing platform solution for running Oracle
SOA and Oracle Service Bus applications in the
cloud. Oracle SOA provides a complete set of
service infrastructure components for designing,
deploying, and managing composite applications.
Oracle Service Bus is a configuration-based,
policy-driven enterprise service bus that provides
capabilities for service discovery and mediation,
rapid service provisioning and deployment, and
governance.

You can also provision Oracle API Manager,

which facilitates the creation of APIs that expose
the functionality of backend systems or other
services. These APIs are published for use by
application developers and are managed and
monitored at runtime.
You have complete and unrestricted
administrative access to your application
environment in the cloud.

Introduction

Oracle SOA Cloud Service provides a rich variety of features that enable you to save time and
money.

Reduce Costs
You can reduce IT maintenance
and administrative costs.
Oracle handles all platform
provisioning, installation,
and domain configuration.
Oracle SOA Cloud Service
is subscription-based. You
only pay when using the
service. No large investment in
hardware and no IT expertise
are required, which lets you
concentrate on the design,
testing, and deployment of
integration solutions.

Create Test Environments

in the Cloud

Monitor and Manage Your

Environment

You can quickly subscribe to

Oracle SOA Cloud Service
to create application test
environments in the cloud.
There is no need to provision
and configure your own
servers. Move workloads to
the cloud, from cloud to cloud,
and from cloud to on-premises
environments. When your
testing is done, you can release
your subscription.

You can start backups,

patching, scaling, and
recoveries with minimal
configuration on the cloud
Service Console page. All these
tasks are handled for you by
Oracle.

Use API Manager Cloud Service to create and publish APIs that provide secure access to your existing
backend services and data, or provide access to other capabilities built in SOA Cloud Service or
Integration Cloud Service. Enhance your APIs with descriptive metadata to facilitate their discovery and
allow consumers to learn more about them.

Easily Discover APIs

API Manager Cloud Service includes
a portal for API consumers to
discover, understand, and use
your published APIs. Application
developers can search for APIs to use
in their applications, register to use
APIs, and track API performance.

Oracle SOA Cloud Service provides access to cloud and on-premises applications through a variety of
feature-rich adapters. For example, Oracle SOA Cloud Service provides support for key cloud adapters
(Salesforce, RightNow, and others), on-premises adapters (SAP, EBusiness Suite, and others), and onpremises adapter technologies (FTP, AQ, JMS, Coherence, LDAP, and others).
Accelerate business growth and
innovation while expanding
relationships with business
partners, external application
developers, and other user
communities by building and
publishing APIs that share
enterprise services and data in the
cloud.

Cloud-to-Cloud Integrations
Introduction
Save Time and Money

You can create cloud-to-cloud application integrations with Oracle SOA Cloud Service. For
example, you can connect an Oracle Sales Cloud adapter new customer account to a RightNow
organization. This ability lets a customer who purchased a product through Oracle Sales Cloud
receive support through the RightNow system. Using Oracle SOA Cloud Service, you can create a
seamless user experience for customers, employees, and partners.

As another example, you have an on-premises order fulfillment and shipping application that
must receive the same sales event from Oracle Sales Cloud. By using the advanced routing and
orchestration capabilities of Oracle SOA components in the cloud, you can model this complex
integration and enable your business process to occur in real time, providing a rich customer
experience.

Cloud to On-Premises Integrations

Introduction
Save Time and Money
Manage APIs

You can extend your enterprise to the cloud and deploy Oracle SOA projects where you need
them. For example, you can integrate an Oracle Sales Cloud new customer account with a Siebel
application. This integration enables a customer that purchases a product through Oracle Sales
Cloud to receive support for that product through the Siebel system. For this same Oracle Sales
Cloud event, you can also synchronize the customer account information to an on-premises
finance application to ensure that the billing and accounts receivable modules receive payment
from the customer.

You can connect to on-premises applications through Oracle Messaging Cloud Service for
asynchronous messaging, with web services to an on-premises Oracle Service Bus or Oracle SOA
infrastructure through a web proxy in the DMZ, or through SSH tunneling.

You can use the Oracle Messaging Cloud Service to connect Oracle SOA Cloud Service to
applications. The Oracle SOA Cloud Service project/composite writes to the message queue in
Oracle Messaging Cloud Service, and the on-premises Oracle SOA or Oracle Service Bus reads
from the queue.

Design, Test, and Deploy

Easy to Design
There is no steep learning curve with
Oracle SOA Cloud Service. You design
your application as you always have with
on-premises Oracle JDeveloper.

Easy to Deploy
You create an application archive in
on-premises Oracle JDeveloper, then
deploy the archive transparently to the
cloud with your choice of tool: Oracle
Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware
Control, WLST command, or ant script.

Easy to Test

At some point in the

development phase, you will
need to test your application.
Creating an on-premises
test environment can be
challenging due to hardware
requirements and complex
environment configurations.
As an alternative, you can
quickly create development
and test environments in the
cloud. You can transparently
move test workloads to the
cloud, from cloud to cloud,
and from the cloud back to onpremises environments.

Hosted Instance Administration

When you need to upgrade your hosted
instances with the latest patches, scale up or
down, or perform backup and recovery of data
on your hosts, Oracle performs these tasks for
you with minimal configuration on the Cloud
Service Console page.

Application Administration
You can manage your cloud application with
the same browser-based tools that you have
always used: Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion
Middleware Control, Oracle WebLogic Server
Administration Console, Oracle SOA Composer,
and Oracle Service Bus Console. Each tool
works the same as it does in an on-premises
environment.

Virtual Machine Access

You have virtual machine root access to your
hosted instances in the cloud for running
scripts or performing other administrative tasks
from the command line. For example, you can
run WLST commands, ant scripts, or other
command line programs.

Integrate with Other Services

Oracle SOA Cloud Service is fully integrated with other cloud services.

Subscribe
To subscribe to Oracle SOA Cloud Service,
you run a simple provisioning wizard
and select your choice of domain type
(standalone Oracle SOA with technology
adapters, standalone Oracle Service Bus
with technology adapters, Oracle SOA and
Oracle Service Bus together with technology
adapters, or Oracle API Manager) and node
configuration.
The subscription provides all the basic
features, plus simplified node cluster
provisioning; simplified configuration

to preexisting DBaaS and SaaS environments;

and cloud self-management tools for automated
backup/recovery, patching, and scaling, local and
central monitoring and management, centralized
provisioning, comprehensive APIs, and upgrading.
After you make your selections, Oracle handles
all node provisioning, installation, and domain
configuration. Your only prerequisite is to first
subscribe to Oracle Database Cloud Service, which
provides the database to use, and Oracle Storage
Cloud Service, which provides the storage space.
For information about subscribing, contact your
Oracle Account Manager and visit the Oracle Cloud
website at cloud.oracle.com.
