SOA Software Adds Governance to BizTalk Server R2


WorkBench uses a Microsoft toolkit to build Web services governance

By David Worthington
September 12, 2007 — 
Microsoft often relies on partner ISVs to extend the out-of-the-box functionality to meet enterprise customers' requirements. The latest example comes in the realm of SOA governance. With the release of BizTalk Server 2006 R2, Microsoft has partnered with SOA Software to offer essential governance capabilities for BizTalk.

SOA Software WorkBench was released simultaneously with BizTalk R2 yesterday, and adds governance capabilities such as closed-loop governance, dynamic policy enforcement and implementation, trust mediation and bridging, and uniform policy management to BizTalk Server.

WorkBench also integrates with Microsoft’s new ESB Guidance Toolkit. The toolkit, which is available from Microsoft CodePlex, provides architectural guidance, patterns, practices, and a set of BizTalk Server and .NET components that ISVs can use to develop an enterprise service bus using Microsoft technology.

Biz Talk 2006 R2 includes .NET Framework 3.0, which provides Web services integration using features found in the Windows Communication Framework, including support for the WS-* specifications.

The R2 release is central to Microsoft’s nascent RFID strategy—quite literally—at the middle of an integrated stack of RFID data, back-end systems and line-of-business applications. Microsoft plans to offer industry-specific supply-chain solutions.

BizTalk’s Developer and Standard editions are still the torchbearers, but there is a new addition to the BizTalk family, the Branch Edition. This permits a hub-and-spoke approach to deployments, which takes into consideration events that affect business processes but do not occur at the home office. It provides a local BizTalk repository that relies on a central installation of BizTalk Enterprise Edition, and lacks the Enterprise Edition’s development tools.

“The combination of SOA Software’s SOA Governance solution and Microsoft’s BizTalk Server 2006 R2 provides customers with an enterprise-class solution for SOA governance, security, mediation and management,” said Steven Martin, director of the Connected Systems Division at Microsoft. “SOA Software’s integration with BizTalk Server drives additional security, reliability and performance of the services consumed and exposed by BizTalk Server.”
