Migrating off
Microsoft BizTalk
to Peregrine Connect

Challenge

I need a modern integration solution that scales faster than BizTalk Server but won’t blow up my bottom line. Is there a simple way to migrate off of BizTalk Server?

BizTalk Server’s MessageBox persistent architecture puts a drag on scalability and performance. And the number of CPUs required to reach the performance envelope of modern distributed applications makes BizTalk a costly integration option.

Solution

Peregrine’s reliable and durable messaging, application integration, and web service capabilities are built to grow with your business. Make the migration to Peregrine today.

Build flexible solutions that adapt to your needs

Peregrine is designed for request-response, low latency and high throughput integration scenarios that BizTalk Server is not equipped to handle effectively.

Peregrine’s application architecture features an optional stateless business processing environment that reduces latency and increases concurrency through asynchronous configuration options. And Peregrine doesn’t need a MessageBox-like database in the middle of message interaction or service orchestration, which further reduces latency while increasing concurrency.

Test and debug while you design

You won’t need to compile and deploy Peregrine business processes and workflows for testing. Peregrine’s Business Process and Workflow Designers support in-place testing, simulation and debugging, so you can run test messages through processes and workflows directly in the designer.

Peregrine’s built-in .NET debugger lets you set breakpoints to enable easy step-by-step debugging through both activities and custom programming code. And because Peregrine compiles business processes and workflows at time of execution, you’ll save considerable development time compared to BizTalk Server.

Reduce hardware and licensing costs

A recent comparison study revealed that replacing an actual BizTalk solution with Peregrine helped:

• Reduce software licensing costs by 12x
• Reduce annual support costs by 20x
• Improve overall solution performance 
• Streamline solution maintenance
• Reduce solution implementation costs

The Peregrine-based solution was approximately 8.5x faster than the BizTalk Server-based solution. The existing BizTalk solution required 8 BizTalk servers with 32 total CPUs, and 2 SQL Servers with 8 CPUs. While Peregrine required only 1 Peregrine server with 2 CPUs, and 1 SQL Server with 2 CPUs.
