Beyond BizTalk Server 2009 R2

In the releases beyond 2009 R2, BizTalk Server will continue to be Microsoft’s Integration Server, further facilitating the implementation of solutions such as Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Business to Business (B2B) Integration. Efficiently managing large scale deployments and ensuring business continuity for mission-critical workloads is going to continue to be crucial for EAI, ESB and B2B solutions. We are committed to continue innovating and enhancing the application development and lifecycle management experience of integration solutions with BizTalk Server. For future releases beyond BizTalk Server 2009 R2, we are planning to invest in the following main areas:

  • Deep Microsoft Application Platform Alignment

    Leveraging innovations in the platform including in .NET and in the Windows Server AppFabric to further enhance BizTalk Server’s enterprise-readiness by simplifying development, scalability, deployment and management capabilities.

  • Enterprise Connectivity for AppFabric

    Making it easier for .NET application built on the AppFabric to integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise applications such as Line Of Business (LOB) systems and with the existing Business-to-Business connectivity infrastructure.

  • On-Premise Server and Cloud Service Symmetry

    Facilitating the connection from on-premise applications to cloud services on Windows Azure platform and from cloud services to on-premise applications. Including the option to deploy some integration services as cloud services on the Windows Azure platform.

As part of the deep alignment and need to support a common programming model BizTalk Server will support WF. Microsoft is committed to investments our customers have in existing BizTalk technologies and we will continue to support BizTalk Server’s XLANG orchestration technology along with other artifacts in BizTalk Server.
