- Friday, 21 May 2010 09:18
Microsoft Thursday released the beta of BizTalk Server 2010 and the release candidate of Windows Server AppFabric, two products that help developers produce scalable applications and services. These products form key elements of Redmond's plans to enable cloud-like scale-out capabilities to privately hosted and deployed systems.
BizTalk Server 2010 is the latest release of Microsoft's enterprise service bus product, used for integrating and connecting disparate enterprise applications. It makes it easier for applications to access each other's data, even when using different formats and data stores.
