Grid Methodist Biztalk Server-based Enterprise Service Bus Design

With the fast development of enterprise informationization process, more information systems have been constructed. Interface and services provided by each system are growing, and data interaction and integration between related systems are becoming more important. Without effective IT measures, these resources will not be efficiently explored and utilized. There are several drawbacks of point-to-point data exchange:the same data of a system, as a service provider, is likely to be invoked by a couple of systems through different interfaces; as a service user, the system is unable to know what services could be provided by other systems, which means low collaboration efficiency. To improve collaboration efficiency between systems and resource reuse, Enterprise Service Bus (EBS) is needed.First, what's discussed is what's going on and what problems are there regarding data integration in Gewei's IT systems. The necessity of building a BizTalk Server-based ESB is clearly stated. Starting from that, the key technologies of BizTalk Server are used to analyze the major functions and core process of ESB. Then IT infrastructure and system architectures of Gewei's ESB are analyzed in depth, focusing on service interface, service directory and management portal subsystems. There are a few advantages of the application of BizTalk Server-based ESB in Gewei, cutting the cost of inter-system coordination, improving system flexibility, and enhancing the ability of information invoking and service management.
