Road Map for EAI/EDI

Question

Hi,

can you tell us, when Service Bus EAI/EDI will become generally available a) within azure and b) on premise ?

Wishes,

Manfred

Answer 1

Hi Manfred,

We completed our first CTP and it is a little early to comment on the exact GA date. However if there are scenarios that are blocked because of some missing capabilities, do let us know. Based on your feedback we might be able to add those capabilities into the service - a good example of this is supporting "delete agreement" in EDI, which was updated last week.

Thank you!

Hi Karthik,

thx for your answer. Will ther be an on-premise-version? Or do we have to use biz-talk on premise.

That's the plan for the next BizTalk Server release: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/biztalk_server_team_blog/archive/2011/12/08/biztalk-server-2010-r2.aspx

Thx for this info. But the question was:

   Will ther be an [windows azure service bus] on-premise-version? Or do we have to use biz-talk on premise?

Another related question would be, how will someone be able to test their bridges, transforms, etc without having an Azure instance somewhere? How will the UAT vs Production models work?
