Microsoft® Hyper-V™ Server 2008 R2 is a stand-alone product that provides a reliable and optimized virtualization solution enabling organizations to improve server utilization and reduce costs. Since Hyper-V Server is a dedicated stand-alone product, which contains only the Windows Hypervisor, Windows Server driver model and virtualization components, it provides a small footprint and minimal overhead. It easily plugs into customers’ existing IT environments, leveraging their existing patching, provisioning, management, support tools, processes, and skills. Some of the new key new features that are available in Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 are live migration, cluster shared volume support and expanded processor and memory support for host systems.
IT Pros can easily to leverage their existing knowledge and skills with Microsoft virtualization products, as well as the collective knowledge of the community, minimizing any learning curve. In addition, with Microsoft providing comprehensive support for Microsoft applications and heterogeneous guest operating systems, customers can virtualize with confidence and peace of mind.
When to Use Hyper-V Server 2008 R2
Customers can use Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 for the following scenarios:
Test and Development
Server Consolidation
Branch Office Consolidation
Hosted Desktop Virtualization (VDI)
Customers should use Windows Server 2008 R2 to get application failover capabilities or flexible and cost-effective virtualization rights (one free virtual instance for Standard Edition, four free virtual instances for Enterprise Editions, and unlimited virtual instances for Datacenter Edition with the purchase of a license of Windows Server 2008), and flexible and cost-effective virtualization rights.
Here is a list of the features in Hyper-V Server 2008 R2.
Comprehensive Device Management
You now have comprehensive device management and solution deployment that spans mobile and fixed readers. With BizTalk Server RFID management capabilities you can manage multiple providers and devices end emulate devices. In addition, you are able to monitor and troubleshoot deployments using System Center Operations Manager.
Capture Business Relevant Data
Create, deploy and change business rules and event filtering to expose business relevant data and take the appropriate action based on incoming events. Through BizTalk’s Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) you can obtain end to end process visibility and analytics of RFID event flow during business process execution.
Support for Industry Standards
BizTalk Server RFID provides support for EPC Global standards like EPCIS, Tag Data Translator (TDT) and Low Level Reader Protocol.
Microsoft BizTalk RFID Mobile is an extension of the Microsoft BizTalk Server RFID platform to mobile devices. BizTalk RFID Mobile is an extensible platform for development, deployment and management of RFID, barcode and other sensor applications on mobile devices.
Faster Time to Market
Write applications once on Windows Mobile and Windows CE and run on multiple devices. By developing RFID applications on BizTalk’s RFID platform there is now a consistent application development experience across fixed and mobile readers. You will most likely want to integrate your data with existing business processes.
Empower Workers to Do More
With BizTalk RFID Mobile in the palm of their hands mobile workers will have access to information when and where they need it so that they can make decisions in real-time. Even if they don’t have network access, mobile workers will be able to perform critical operations and forward data to the server once there is a connection.
Enhanced Business Intelligence
New scenarios are now possible. You will now be able to capture more business relevant data and integrate that data with existing processes through BizTalk Server or replicate data to a SQL Server database. Bridge the gap between your core enterprise processes and your physical operations and assets.

Introduction
With the November 2006 release of .NET Framework 3.0, the wait is finally over for software professionals. The core components of this managed code programming model – Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) – has revolutionized the way software is programmed.
This article focuses on the different options available for communication between WCF and BTS06. While much of the discussion will also be applicable to BTS04, any discrepancies in implementation for BTS04 will be highlighted.
There is a WCF Adapter for BTS06 is available on the CodePlex Web site. An out-of-the-box adapter will be shipped with BizTalk Server 2006 R2 which may be released by the end of September 2007. An overview of the R2 WCF Adapter's capabilities is available at the following blog post. To try out the R2 WCF Adapter, download the BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Beta from the Microsoft Connect site.
However, you may need to integrate existing BizTalk-based applications with WCF to do the same. In this article we present various options to achieve interoperability in cases where upgrading to BizTalk Server 2006 R2 is not possible. The article merely outlines the approaches and does not deal with them in an exhaustive manner. Nor does it provide a benchmark to compare the approaches. You need to evaluate and choose one among the suggested techniques after taking into account the needs of your application.
Note: If you are upgrading to BizTalk 2006 R2, then working with WCF Adapter will be ideal due to the ease of use, deployment and management it offers.
