Overview

The Managed Services Engine (MSE) is one approach to facilitating Enterprise SOA through service virtualization. Built upon the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and the Microsoft Server Platform, the MSE was developed by Microsoft Services as we helped customers address the challenges of SOA in the enterprise.

The MSE fully enables service virtualization through a Service Repository, which helps organizations deploy services faster, coordinate change management, and maximize the reuse of various service elements. In doing so, the MSE provides the ability to support versioning, abstraction, management, routing, and runtime policy enforcement for Services.

Status & Roadmap

The next CTP Release will be coming in May! This update will be updated for .NET 3.5 and will include updated channel and eventing models, UDDI integration, installer updates for distributed topologies, and numerous bug fixes.

The 6.2 CTP Release is the first of many public releases of the MSE on CodePlex. The intent of this version is to solicit feedback on the architecture, the components, their application, and the documentation. We will make periodic announcements concerning updates and upcoming releases.
