whitepaper Microsoft Webcast: Infosys and Microsoft Present: Modernizing From Mainframes to Next-Generation IT Systems (Level 100)2008-07-16 Microsoft
  In a flattening world, agile companies will succeed because their underlying IT systems can rapidly adapt to changing business priorities. Companies are moving towards Software as a Service (SaaS) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide the required flexibility in IT systems, so that IT remains relevant to business. Mainframe applications built decades ago were never meant to support such a changing environment. The focus was on automating specific business processes and processing large volumes of information for the lowest cost possible. Speed of execution and not flexibility was the main criteria. Since Windows Server 2008 provides power and performance equivalent to hundreds of mainframe MIPS, the cost model on which earlier applications were written has been turned on its head.

whitepaper IT Manager Webcast: Taking Control of Your Services With Service Virtualization (Level 200)2008-02-07 Microsoft
  Organizations are starting to reach the limits of their initial Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) efforts because of an inability to control, maintain, and trust their services for mission-critical applications. Service virtualization enables to overcome some of the limitations of service implementations by managing endpoints, operations, and policies, instead of Web Services Description Language (WSDL) tools. This webcast looks at the Managed Services Engine (MSE), a solution developed by Microsoft Services that facilitates service virtualization by applying Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Microsoft SQL Server. It provides an overview of the architecture that utilizes emerging patterns such as service repositories, runtime brokers, and dynamic behaviors that can support runtime execution through metadata and configuration.
