Why SOA is doomed...

Companies still can't get hosted email to any decent level of uptime. Very few companies are going to depend on another online company to host their critical business apps. There are just way too many things that can go wrong. Every week you read about one or two online companies with outages because of hardware or software problems, getting hacked and having personal information stolen, being knocked offline with DDOS attacks, etc, etc, etc. I've been in this business for a lot of years and this isn't anything new. The public internet is just that...public. When you start doing business in the public domain, risk goes up exponentially. It most companies, the IT manager or CIO has the responsibility of analyzing risk and guiding the companies IT assets based on that analysis. The risks associated with allowing another company to host critical business applications accessed over the public internet still has too many risks for most in the business. I don't see that changing any time soon.
