Enterprise UDDI Services

Windows Server 2003 includes Enterprise UDDI Services, dynamic and flexible infrastructure for Web services discovery. This standards-based solution enables companies to run their own private UDDI service for intranet or extranet use.

UDDI Services helps companies organize and catalog programmatic resources. By applying categorization schemes such as geography, Quality of Service (QoS), or organization in UDDI Services, companies can establish a structured and standardized way to describe and discover services.

UDDI Services delivers strategic benefits to enterprises deploying Web services. As a core piece of Web services infrastructure in Windows Server 2003, UDDI Services makes it easy to discover, share, and re-use Web services and other programmable resources. This can improve developer and IT productivity, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and more reliable and manageable applications.

Developers can quickly find and re-use Web services available within the organization. IT administrators can catalog and manage the programmable resources in their network. With UDDI Services, companies can build and deploy smarter, more reliable applications.

Built on the .NET Framework, UDDI Services is a reliable and scalable solution that provides easy integration with enterprise technologies and tools. IT Managers can leverage native support for standard and custom categorization schemes, Microsoft SQL Server, and Windows authentication. UDDI Services is fully compliant with version 1.0 and 2.0 of the UDDI API. It includes an intuitive web interface and is fully localized to each of the 17 languages supported by the Windows Server 2003 family.
