Federated Integration HUB versus Point-to-Point Integration!

2024-05-30 Technology - LinkedIn Post

A Federated Integration Hub mathematically and logically beats a Point-to-Point capability and its economics every minute of every day.


The mathematical and logical benefits of a federated integration hub over point-to-point integration primarily involves reductions in the complexity and number of connections, which translates into more efficient and manageable integration systems in the long term - saving your IT Department from spending 70-80% of their support time just keeping the Lights On.


Number of Connections - With a Point-to-Point Integration method and using a system with ’n’ applications, each application needs to be directly connected to each other or other selected applications. The number of connections required is given by the formula for combinations

Connections = n(n-1)/2


This quadratic growth means that as the number of applications increases, the number of required connections increases rapidly; resulting in a complex and unmanageable network nightmare.


Whereas, in a Federated Integration Hub model, each application only needs to connect to the HUB once. Hence, the growth path is linear (1:1), more scalable, and more manageable. 


Other Key Hub Benefits - These mathematical advantages translate into practical benefits (multipliers in fact) that enhance the scalability, manageability, sustainability, and efficiency of integration systems.


These benefits may include improving overall systems reliability and business effectiveness through
