Description: 
BizTalk Server 2006 R2 provides the infrastructure to connect business systems with each other, regardless of the platform, whether in a single organization or across different organizations. It also allows users to define and execute processes based on those systems.

For example, an inventory application running on an IBM mainframe issues a request for a purchase order, a resource planning application running on a UNIX system issues the purchase order, and a fulfilment application running on Windows places the order. These applications communicate with each other through BizTalk Server, according to the rules the organization has defined for this process.

BizTalk Server communicates by means of software mechanisms called adapters. More than two dozen adapters are included, including Windows Communication Foundation for .NET 3.0, SOAP for XML and Web services, Oracle and IBM databases, and commonly used business software such as Siebel and PeopleSoft. Microsoft partners provide still more adapters, some at an extra cost.

This is a server license with one processor license. A separate license is required for each server processor that runs BizTalk Server. However, the number of licenses also depends on the number of server processors that are used by Windows Server (which is required for BizTalk Server; see the system requirements below). For example, if Windows Server uses four processors on a server, four BizTalk Server licenses are needed. No client access licenses (CALs) are needed.

Installing this product requires a license key and installation media. After your order is processed, instructions for obtaining the license key will be sent to your organization email address.
Features: 
  • Under the Software Assurance program, customers acquire the right to install any new release of products covered in the agreement during the term of their coverage.
  • The Orchestration Designer, BizTalk Editor, and BizTalk Mapper provide graphical means to define a business process and the rules it uses. The Business Rules Engine provides a way of evaluating a complex set of business rules.
  • BizTalk RFID enables RFID (radio frequency identification) devices to become fully compatible with the Microsoft platform. It also allows developers to create RFID processes, such as asset tracking and supply chain visibility, that are independent of underlying device types and protocols.
  • BizTalk Server supports Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), one of the most prevalent means by which entities exchange data electronically.
  • Business Activity Services (BAS) allows organizations to set up and manage interactions with trading partners.
