----------------------------------------------------------- From: MeetRajjan Message 1 in Discussion .NET Enterprise Servers<o:p></o:p> Microsoft also supplies several server products you might find useful when implementing and deploying Web services. The latest versions of these products, collectively known as the .NET Enterprise Servers, have been enhanced to support the Web and XML. The .NET Enterprise Servers include: l Application Center 2000, for deploying and managing your Web applications and Web services. l BizTalk� Server 2000, for business process orchestration and document interchange. BizTalk Server contains extensive support for XML and SOAP-based messages, transmitted over a variety of protocols, including HTTP, SSL, and SMTP. Developers who are most interested in exposing business processes to their business partners will likely build solutions based on BizTalk Server that end up fitting the definition of a Web Service, rather than explicitly setting out to implement Web services. l Commerce Server 2000, an application platform for building e-commerce Web applications. l Exchange Server 2000, for messaging and collaboration. Exchange 2000 includes the Microsoft Web Storage System, which provides hierarchical data storage of heterogeneous documents. XML is the native data format for many kinds of documents in the Web Storage System. Exchange is tightly integrated with IIS, to support SMTP, POP, and direct access to data via HTTP. Exchange provides a complete application platform for building collaborative workflow applications that work over the Web. As with BizTalk Server, developers who are most interested in building workflow applications will likely build solutions based on Exchange or Microsoft� SharePoint� Portal Server that end up fitting the definition of a Web Service, rather than explicitly setting out to implement Web services. l Host Integration Server 2000, for accessing mainframe applications and data stores. Host Integration Server is the evolution of Microsoft SNA Server. l Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000, which provides firewall and Web caching services. l Mobile Information Server 2001, for wireless access to enterprise data. SQL Server� 2000, for relational data storage. SQL Server 2000 includes extensive support for XML. Relational data can be queried and modified as XML, eliminating the need to handcraft formatting logic in your applications. You can also provide direct access to SQL Server data stores and OLAP cubes via HTTP, using the SQL Server XML services. If your Web Service simply handles queries for data without a great deal of business logic and you don't need to provide a SOAP-based interface, you might consider simply using SQL Server XML as the Web Service listener.
