MSE now SOA certified

SOA Software has expanded certification of the .NET Framework to include the Microsoft Managed Services Engine (MSE) as a Governed Service Platform.

Building on previous certifications of Microsoft BizTalk Server and the .NET Framework, this expansion allows customers to use MSE as part of a heterogeneous enterprise SOA environment, sharing services with other commercial SOA platforms like SAP NetWeaver, IBM WebSphere, BEA, and Oracle, as well as RedHat and other open source providers. SOA Software has provided custom WCF bindings and an extensible channel stack to provide additional governance capabilities to enterprises using the MSE for service virtualisation.

Security administrators can centrally define policies for services through SOA Software’s Policy Manager for automated governance approval processes. Once approved, the MSE can use the policy exposed via WS-MetadataExchange to ensure consistent policy enforcement at multiple levels of granularity.
