My latest MSDN Magazine article entitled SOA Simplified: Service Virtualization with the Managed Services Engine hit the Web towards the end of last week. It focuses on simplifying large-scale SOA ecosystems by leveraging the concept of service virtualization as an abstraction for managing services over time. Microsoft Services provides a technical solution for implementing service virtualization called the Managed Services Engine (MSE). This article introduces the concepts of service virtualization and shows you how to get started with the MSE today. Hope you enjoy it.
You can download the MSE bits from CodePlex along with some installation guides, documentation, and some helpful screencast videos that illustrate exactly how to get started. Definitely worth checking out.
