Software as a service: ASP and ASP aggregation

Published: 03 June 2002 Publication History

Abstract

The tutorial "Software as a Service: ASP and ASP aggregation" will give an introduction and overview of the concept of "renting" access to software to customers (subscribers). Application service providers (ASPs) are enterprises hosting one or more applications and provide access to subscribers over the Internet by means of browser technology. Furthermore, the underlying technologies are discussed to enable application hosting. The concept of ASP aggregation is introduced to provide a single access point and a single sign-on capability to subscribers sub-scribing to more than one hosted application in more than one ASP.

In this paper, Bussler attempts to give the reader an introduction to application service providers (ASPs), and to the concept of renting access to software. The author discusses ASPs, what services an ASP provides, and how ASP aggregation might work. Unfortunately, he is not completely successful in his attempt to educate the reader on what an ASP is and does. The author’s definition of an ASP is a little brief. He states that ASPs are accessed by their customers through the Internet. In fact, they are accessed through various technologies, from the Internet using virtual private networks (VPNs), to private-line wide area network (WAN) technology. Some customers even access ASPs through high-speed broadband or wireless connectivity. There might have even been room to discuss the advantages and hazards of all of these types of connectivity. The author then endeavors to discuss the various services that an ASP provides. This point is understated, as he says that the ASP also needs to backup data, omitting the concept of availability, disaster recovery, fault tolerance, resiliency, clustering, and mirroring. He states that provisioning, billing, single sign-on, and help desk are additional services of an ASP. The ASP’s customer sometimes does provisioning, while single sign-on is a dream, not a reality. Service level agreements (SLAs) are not mentioned; perhaps this was number two in his list of points, since this number was oddly left out. Finally, the author’s idea that an ASP aggregator could provide application integration capabilities is slightly strange. This type of enterprise application integration is best left to the system integrator, not an ASP. To make this tutorial more complete, the author might have turned his attention to providing a more accurate, complete definition of an ASP, and the real opportunities of an ASP aggregator.
