Microsoft Aims to Bring Apache and .NET Together

Software titan Microsoft is taking a significant step toward appeasing
the open source community by integrating its .NET Framework into the
Apache Web server, the world's most popular back-end software for
serving up Web pages.
Although Microsoft isn't working directly with the Apache Software
Foundation, the Redmond, WA, company has announced a deal with
Covalent Technologies, a San Francisco-based consulting firm that
specializes in Apache implementations throughout the enterprise. Under
the deal, the companies announced that Apache 2.0, as available in
Covalent's Enterprise Ready Server, is now compatible with Microsoft
ASP.NET -- a server-side, object-oriented programming tool that is an
integral part of Microsoft's .NET vision.
For Microsoft, the announcement, which was made at an open source
developer conference in San Diego hosted by O'Reilly, demonstrates how
important Web services (and, hence, its much-touted .NET Framework)
has become. Supporting Apache flies directly in the face of its own
Internet Information Server, or IIS, development efforts. But
Microsoft still wants developers to adopt ASP.NET code even if it
means allowing them to turn to Apache at the expense of IIS.
"It's a sign that ASP.NET is just that important to them," said Jim
Zemlin, vice president of marketing at Covalent.
Traditionally, the operations side of an IT department has relied
heavily on Apache as opposed to IIS because of its greater security.
However, with the February release of Visual Studio .NET, IT
developers have increasingly been creating programs that obligated
their operations counterparts to use IIS. That is, until today.
The combination of ASP.NET, Covalent's Apache product, and Windows
2000 provides a strong enterprise solution allowing development and
operations groups to independently utilize technologies that meet
their needs, Covalent said in its prepared remarks.
The news comes a day after Microsoft promised to integrate .NET
applications with Oracle databases. But Wednesday's Apache
announcement is the strongest signal to date that Microsoft is trying
to abide by its promise to promote cross-platform integration.
"It's good to hear Microsoft is going to work with [Apache], they have
told us that cross-platform integration is big," said Jay Pitzer, vice
president of sales and marketing at NetEdge Software, a Wake Forest,
N.C.-based consulting firm that uses .NET extensively for systems
integration.
As for undermining Microsoft's own proprietary Web server software
that also announced today along with its final preview version of its
.NET Server, Pitzer explained that Microsoft is simply realizing that
is the cost of doing business.
"They realize that the world doesn't revolve around them. In the big
enterprise, there are so many different types of systems and Microsoft
has done a great job to provide a platform for multiple platforms to
engage each other."
