Abstract :
The Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) is to apply Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to IT Infrastructure. The role of IT is changing. IT infrastructure is not only associated with hardware, software, and network components any more, it is becoming more integrated with business operation strategies, and being operated as a business service as well. A Service Oriented Infrastructure Framework is introduced here, which consists of four categories of components: Service Planning, Service Systems, Service Management, and Service Stakeholders; while other SOI frameworks presented today mostly address the Service System category only. This SOI framework is helpful for SOI practice in establishing structure, life cycle, and governance.
