Image
During the BizTalk Integration Summit a week a go the Windows Azure BizTalk Services (WABS) have been made available. This service is now a full grown part of the Windows Azure offering. For the BizTalk product group this is an important landmark. They have been working hard the last couple of years to accomplish this. They first had to lay down the foundation before they could deliver this service to what it is today. This brand new service in Windows Azure is meant to provide EAI or B2B services through the cloud. The EAI Service enables you to exchange data through different protocols and transform it to and from different formats. Similar to what the on premise BizTalk offers through mapping and routing. The B2B services offers Businesses to exchange data between their partners. You can view it as a new way of EDI data exchange other than a value added network ( VAN ). Concept of the BizTalk Service is as depicted below. The Windows Azure and BizTalk Services Portal. T
