BizTalk running in Azure (IaaS)

    • Use case :
    • First step in the cloud adoption
    • Eliminate hardware procurement lead times
    • Reduce time and cost to setup and maintain BizTalk environments
    • Move applications from on premise and back
  • Create a virtual network in Azure and enable connectivity to on-premise network
  • User logs into Azure Portal
  • User creates a new VM and selects BizTalk stock image
  • User specifics BizTalk environment topology and adds them to existing virtual network
  • New VMs are provisioned for user in Azure IaaS
  • User logs into the provisioned VM which has BizTalk installed and configured and starts using it.
  • Targeting same Windows 8 timeframe
  • Microsoft will provide guidance on performance
  • MSDTC support in Azure?
  • It is supported now in IaaS and was brought in to support BizTalk
  • All features that work on premise will work in IaaS
