Application of the ESB Architecture for Distributed Monitoring of the SLA Requirements

Growing role of the cooperation between companies around the world causes the rise of meaning of the SLA agreements which are negotiated among companies. These agreements usually require a reliable and robust monitoring process, since their fulfilment is crucial for the coherence of the cooperation. In this paper we present the application of the ESB integration architecture in the specialized distributed monitoring system - the FiVO SLA monitoring system - which is used to monitor the resources and services shared among the cooperating companies. Different deployment models of this system are proposed and the results from their performance tests are presented.
