AmberPoint, maker of Web services and services-oriented architecture (SOA) management and security products, this week garnered another $10.3 million in venture capital funding, bringing its total to more than $41 million.

The company says it will put the cash toward expanded engineering operations, customer support, sales and marketing efforts -- as well as continue to expand worldwide. The investor -- Meritech Capital Partners -- expressed confidence in AmberPoint's ability to win success in the Web services and SOA management and security market, according to a press release.

The AmberPoint investment -- as well as others in the SOA market -- could indicate that industry watchers anticipate SOA adoption to become mainstream, making the need for management and security tools more critical to enterprise customers.

Management software leaders such as BMC, CA, HP and IBM have all in the past year or so announced product strategies around managing Web services and SOA-based applications.

And recent acquisitions -- specifically, IBM of Collation and Mercury Interactive of Systinet -- show the need to move beyond simply monitoring availability to more active, real-time management of Web services and SOA applications at the transaction level is on the rise.
