Microsoft will consolidate Commerce Server, BizTalk Server and Content Management Server into one set of technologies code-named "Jupiter" that will be released in two stages in 2003 and 2004, the company disclosed Tuesday during the opening keynote of the MEC 2002 conference in Anaheim, Calif. "The 'Jupiter' vision aims to enable the connected business by bringing Microsoft's current e-business servers together into a more unified environment," Microsoft explained in a statement.

The current versions of the products are Commerce Server 2002, BizTalk Server 2002 and Content Management Server 2001. Microsoft announced this week that Content Management Server 2002 will ship by the end of the year.
