Ready to Yamm! Read the Impact Analysis Article on Yammer Purchase By Microsoft

With the recent announcement of Yammer’s purchase by Microsoft, the social media software companies are already scrambling to figure out their strategies. Just last week, Oracle announced the acquisition of Involver, a social media company. This is Oracle’s third acquisition of a social media company in the last two months. Salesforce has also acquired Buddy Media in the social media space. This has left leaders like Jive scrambling to determine their next move.

We at Netwoven are pretty excited about this acquisition and the impact it will make on our customer’s social media strategies. Microsoft’s brilliant move is reminiscent of the acquisitions Microsoft made several years ago in the Collaboration, Web Content Management, and Business Intelligence space. For readers who are interested, we have outlined a summary of the moves Microsoft made and the impact on the technology landscape.

Request Management in SharePoint 2013

SharePoint 2013 has many cool features. The Request Management capability is one of them. This pairs up an old feature in 2010 called Resource Throttling with a new feature called Routing Rules. These Resource Rules allow you to redirect traffic coming into your farm based on the following properties:

• URL
• URLReferrer
• UserAgent
• Host
• IP
• HTTPMethod
• SoapAction
• CustomHeader

The operators that you can use on these rules are: StartsWith, EndsWith, Equals, and even RegEx. This is a very similar function that you may already have in your application load balancers (F5, Cisco).
