AmberPoint Announces Support for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009

AmberPoint announced its support for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009, the latest version of Microsoft’s service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) server. The combination of AmberPoint’s composite application management solutions and Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 enables enterprises to achieve comprehensive management capabilities as they bring together application components both within their organizations and across organizational boundaries.

“We’re glad to have AmberPoint’s support for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009. To succeed with SOA, organizations need end-to-end management of services and the transactions flowing across their IT environments,” said Darrell Cavens, director of product management for BizTalk Server at Microsoft Corp. “AmberPoint brings visibility and control to service networks, enabling our customers to maximize their return on investment in SOA and optimize the performance of their distributed applications.”

With solutions from AmberPoint, enterprises implementing composite applications can better understand system behavior, manage each transaction flowing across their distributed environments, and implement policies that automate performance management, remedy exceptional conditions and uphold security. Significantly, they can do all this without special coding to the application components or message tags. AmberPoint’s non-invasive architecture allows SOA applications to evolve and grow without constant recoding to system components.

AmberPoint’s support for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 builds on a multifaceted relationship with Microsoft reaching back the past several years:

  • AmberPoint runs on the Microsoft .NET Framework
  • AmberPoint software ships with Microsoft Visual Studio
  • Premier status in the Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program

Combined with our leading management solutions, this brings forth new opportunities for enterprises to increase the business value they gain from their distributed systems.”
