If you're involved in design, implementation or operations for solutions involving BizTalk Server 2009 - Ewan Fairweather from the Biztalk Rangers/ Customer Advisory Team is hosting a live meeting session tomorrow, details below:
Event Overview
As part of the Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 launch wave, the BizTalk Rangers and Technology Adoption Program (TAP) teams are conducting a performance lab to compare Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2, BizTalk Server 2009 (physical), and BizTalk Server 2009 on a Hyper-V platform. In this webcast, you hear from the product group about the performance characteristics of solutions deployed on different platforms. We outline the tests that we have performed and the results that we obtained, and we share common best practices for deployment. If you would like to understand the performance differences of BizTalk Server 2009 on Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Windows Server 2008, and Hyper-V platforms before the official guides are published, then this webcast is for you.

The guys in the BizTalk Customer Advisory Team (CAT) continue to publicise new best practise and lessons learned from troubleshooting enterprise deployments and the performance optimisation labs they run. Sharing knowledge and experience gained through optimising these high-performance, low-latency solutions helps the BTS user community improve performance and get better return on their BTS investment. .
.
I recently reviewed the latest Performance Optimization Guide for BizTalk Server 2009 and provided some feedback that was included in the guide around the SQL Server optimisations.If you're involved in designing or troubleshooting solutions built on BizTalk Server, it's well worth taking a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee377064(BTS.10).aspx .

As with any performance optimisation, getting the architecture right is critical and testing early in the project lifecyle will identify problems before they impact the business.
Happy tuning!
