Platform for Advanced SOA Will Require Expertise in Many Technology Areas Strategic Planning Assumption: Through 2010, complexity of the application platform technology will continue to increase, widening the gap between the all-in-one generalists and the best-of-breed specialists; in favor of the generalists for the breadth and in favor of the specialists for the depth of their functional offering (0.8 probability). End-to-End Development Framework Common Metadata Repository g Portal Product, Rich Client User Interaction BPM Suite Business Process Management EII, MDM Data Integration Application Integration Integration Broker Event Server Complex Event Processing Application Server, TPM Transaction Processing Business Component Library Application Building Blocks Shared Middleware Infrastructure (RPC, MOM, WS) Gartner defined Application Platform Suite (APS) as a combination of a component-container platform (such as an application server), integration platform (such as an integration suite) and a user-interaction platform (such as a portal product). This three-tier definition essentially remains in place as the industry evolves, but the products and technologies that constitute the essential functionality of an APS are becoming more differentiated. An advanced APS, serving its three core functions consists of more than three technologies. The integration function is now represented by BPM tools, by data integration tools, including Enterprise Information Integration (EII) and Master Data Management (MDM) and by the ESB-based, service-oriented and event-driven integration brokers. The application servers consist of service-focused and separate event-focused servers. The portal products are expanded into Smart Enterprise Suites (SES) by addition of content and knowledge management. The extended APSs include the integrative layers of common development, metadata, security and systems management. Some vendors (BEA, IBM, Oracle, SAP) extend their APS with a library of pre-built reusable business components or packaged composite application extensions. The breadth of functionality makes it difficult for the generalists to achieve excellence in all areas of the APS technology, opening the platform market to partnerships of leading-edge specialists. Action Item: For best-of-breed platform technology, continue to look to specialist vendors; the irresistible benefits of one-stop shopping will come at the unavoidable cost of all-in-one solutions, uneven quality levels and vendor lock-in.

Microsoft Application Platform Key Points: The way we deliver on Connected Systems is through our Microsoft application platform. Today, we’re shipping three new products that augment the application platform that deliver: A trusted platform that enables organizations to make better decisions and obtain faster results. Text: Ten years ago, the conversations heard in the hallways of IT departments and application development centers were about application servers that touted tightly-coupled object systems and about individual products. But in the last decade, the conversations have shifted dramatically. Now you’re much more likely to hear conversations about entire sets of applications built on a consistent infrastructure using a consistent application model and built around Web services. Some analysts and pundits have dubbed this confluence the “superplatform”[1] – an integrated suite of products that provides organizations with an application server, web server, portal, integration broker, database, web services capabilities, a single integrated development environment, unified management and administration, and a smart client experience. At Microsoft, we simply call it the application platform. The Microsoft application platform is the way Microsoft delivers on Connected Systems and is the foundation of the competitive business and spans clients, servers, and devices, while providing the patterns and practices for creating reliable, enterprise-grade solutions. With the Microsoft application platform, organizations can build connected systems to bring together their people, processes, and information. The application platform brings IT assets and business processes into a cohesive whole, enabling deeper customer connections, integrated partners, empowered employees, and faster time to market. [1] http://www.burtongroup.com/research_consulting/doc.aspx?cid=699 We tried to pick some core building blocks and highlight the new things that are coming out. So in the bottom half is the server technologies, and we do a lot of work under the guise of our Windows Server System umbrella to make sure that these systems work well together. So you can be sure when we develop these things and work on them, the APIs used to write to are done in a consistent fashion, so when you use our development tools it's easier to write to them, whether it's SQL Server or BizTalk or SharePoint or other of the tools. Common execution formats, so when you actually build an application the CLR is the same and it will work across all of the different applications. It also means that security and manageability is done in a consistent way. Management: For the developers we use WMI for consistency in terms of how you write to and for management, and then we build Microsoft Management console plug-ins for all of our server tools and technologies so that you can manage them in a consistent fashion. Common identity systems through ADFS, so when you set the rights in one place it carries all the way through, from SharePoint potentially through the Windows Server and IIS down to SQL, depending on what the application does. So we work hard through Common Engineering Criteria to make sure that on the overall stack that the server components are all built to work together, and that's not just sort of run together, that's security, that's management, that's development, it's running the systems themselves. So that's a core part of the work we do, and with the latest releases for BizTalk, SQL and Visual Studio we've moved that forward, and I'll talk a little bit about that. And then, of course, a lot of what our customers ultimately interact with is the client end of the systems. And whether that's a portal, whether it's an Office application, whether it's a business app, one of ours like Dynamics or others, and ultimately the clients themselves, what Will was showing this morning, as well as devices, all of those hook into the overall platform as well. So we want to use the launch event to make sure we remind people that altogether we create and build a lot of technologies and products that come together to enable you to hopefully write better applications or build better applications and manage them in a way that you can empower your employees to make better decisions faster and that you can trust it's the platform to run your business on. Overall, the Microsoft application platform consists of: Microsoft Windows Server. The most productive infrastructure platform for powering connected applications, networks, and Web services from the workgroup to the data center, Microsoft Windows. The world’s most popular operating system for executing the most demanding business applications. Microsoft Windows Mobile.
