Features:
BizTalk Server 2009 will become generally available in the first
half of 2009, said Burley Kawasaki, director of product
management in the Connected Systems Division at Microsoft, and a
Community Technology Preview will be release before the end of
this year.
Application platform support will be extended to the .NET
Framework 3.5 SP1, SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and
Windows Server 2008. BizTalk Server will take advantage of
failover clustering features from Windows Server and will
support Hyper-V, MicrosoftÒs hypervisor.
Integration with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server adds ALM
functions such as automated builds, bug tracking, source
controls and multi-party development. The underlying BizTalk
project system for Visual Studio will also be improved, the
company says.
The new features require Visual Studio 2008, said Kawasaki. ÓA
lot of integration[s] we are doing builds on top of 2008 wave,Ô
he added.
WhatÒs more, BizTalk will have out-of-the-box Business Activity
Monitoring capabilities with SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services,
as well as supporting Unified Dimensional Model cubes and
real-time aggregations that are used in MicrosoftÒs
PerformancePoint Server 2007 business intelligence product.
