Gijs’ BizTalk Notes

Last week during BTUG NL meeting and tomorrow at CloudExpo NL my focus was and will be on integration by means of Microsofts on-premise and cloud solutions. Most of the times, a hybrid solution will be needed where the cloud helps with scalability towards lots of small parties to be connected and tackling the security issues around integration through firewalls.

My sessions focus on how to use what technology in which situation and how to combine the technologies BizTalk Server, Windows Server AppFabric, Windows Azure AppFabric and SQL Azure.

The last slide(s) in my presentation will give some insight in what the near future will bring with regard to integration as a service.

Stay tuned!

See you tomorrow at CloudExpo (see cloudexpo.nl) in Jaarbeurs Utrecht @1500 hours?

I’ll be doing a presentation on BizTalk and the Cloud on the Dutch BizTalk User Group (BTUG NL) meeting on Dec 2. My session will be focused on architecture and best practices. See you there!

The article on Windows Azure AppFabric (by my collegue Steef-Jan Wiggers) has been published in the Dutch TechNet magazine’s October edition.

I’ll be presenting the following session at SharePoint Connections in the Hague, 28 & 29 Sept:

MSOL06: Fully Leverage the Microsoft Application Platform with SharePoint 2010

By using SharePoint 2010 as the universal user interface in your Service Oriented Architecture and using features such as human workflow, business intelligence and the integration services provided by the Microsoft Application Platform (BizTalk server and SQL server), companies improve the performance and reliability of their business processes.
