About the Managed Services Engine

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 helps enterprises in not only jumpstarting their move to a Service Oriented model but also providing support to successfully manage the resulting massively distributed system. The MSE focuses on the “Service” and not just the “Message” or any other sub component. It fully supports service virtualization, which helps organizations deploy services faster, coordinate change management, and maximize the reuse of various service elements. In doing so, it provides the ability to support versioning, abstraction, management, routing, and runtime policy enforcement for Services. 

About Managed Services Engine CTP Release

The 6.2 CTP Release is the first of many 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.

I have the pleasure of working with MSE since its inception and I hope to blog about its features regularly in the future.
