One of the benefits of BizTalk 2006 in that it doesn’t cause so much fear of deployment is that it is not a radical architecture change from BTS04, but rather a set of very significant, but incremental, improvements to the base BTS04 architecture and feature set. Besides, there are already several BTS06 deployments around the world (see [url]http://blogs.msdn.com/bpidcustomerresponseteam/archive/2006/03/27/562292.aspx[/url]), and is very estable, at least in my experience (and it’s so much better to work with you won’t be disappointed).
As for the sql clustering, I’m not sure, but if SQL 2005 Standard supports clustering (I think it supports two-way clusters), I don’t know why BizTalk 2006 wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it.

BTS06 was never meant to be released on Nov2005, that was always meant to be just the marketing product launch to make it coincide with the SQL and VS launch. However, it was always known that RTM would be a few months after that (I agree the press releases were a little confusing).
As for the rest, no, you cannot run BTS04 with SQL 2005, it is not supported and doesn’t work.

Hello!
Please bare with me. I have no experience with bizTalk Server but I am in position to evaluate and recommend bizTalk Server deployment.
Having no experience with the software, I am afraid of recommending the newest version because of percieved lack of overall experience with its implementation, new features, bugs and best practices.
That is the reason I consider using the older version (2004). However, there is potential problem with bts 2004 too. Based on the requirements I need to put messageBox database on clustered database server. If I use mssql server 2000 I have to use expensive Enterprise Edition.
MSSQL Server 2005 standard edition supports clustering but I don’t know if it can be used as db server where messageBox database is placed.Please let me know your opinion on my dilema (bts 2004 or 2006) and also if I can use mssql server 2005 with bts 2004.

Well, I have long experience with microsoft products and I was scared by the info that bts 2006 was scheduled to be released in November 2005 but it was released in March 27th instead. Btw, is it right, maybe I got it wrong?

This is certainly encouraging. 🙂

The problem was not with bts 2006 taking advantage of clustering.My problem was I wanted to stay with bts 2004, but to still take advantage of sql server 2005 se clustering and i was not sure if there is a problem using sql server 2005 db server for hosting messageBox db from bts 2004.
Thank you for the link, I have yet to take a look there. After reading I may come back with more questions.
