What Is “Oslo”? What Are the Product and Technology Components That Will Be Delivered?
“Oslo” is the latest in a series of long-term investments in SOA and business process management (BPM) technologies that enable the development of distributed applications. At the Microsoft SOA & Business Process Conference, we will disclose the targeted investment areas and the associated priorities. These product investments are part of a multirelease investment that will help advance the Dynamic IT initiative — specifically in the areas that are services-enabled and model-driven.
There are five primary areas of investment targeted by “Oslo” development efforts:
· Framework. The .NET Framework “4” release will make further investments in model-driven development as part of our WCF and Workflow Foundation (WF) technologies. This will be the logical successor to the .NET Framework 3.5 release happening later this calendar year.
· Server. This release will continue to evolve our BizTalk family of products as the distributed platform for highly scalable SOA and BPM solutions. BizTalk Server “6” will build deeply on top of both WCF and WF as its core foundation, and deliver the capability to develop, manage and deploy composite applications.
· Services. Extending the early BizTalk Services incubation (currently available at http://labs.biztalk.net), the BizTalk Services “1” release will deliver a commercial release of hosted services that enable cross-organizational composite application scenarios. This includes expanded capabilities around hosted messaging, identity and workflow capabilities.
· Tools. These investments will advance the application life-cycle management capabilities of Visual Studio Team System and provide support for an expanded range of roles. Furthermore, Visual Studio “10” will provide deep support for model-driven design and deployment of composite applications.
· Repository. There will also be investments aligning the metadata repositories across the Server & Tools Business products. System Center “5,” Visual Studio “10” and BizTalk Server “6” will utilize a common repository technology for managing, versioning and deploying models.
