BizTalk Server Performance Benchmark Wizard

In case you have missed it, about two weeks ago a few members of the BizTalk Server and the SQL Server Customer Advisory Teams (CAT) have released to Codeplex, a vey useful BizTalk performance benchmarking tool.

The BizTalk Benchmark Wizard checks the performance of your BizTalk Server installation using pre-existing scenarios and validates it against some known results. Essentially it provides an answer to the question:” Are you getting the most throughput performance out of of your BizTalk Server installation?”
If the answer is no – you better follow the BizTalk Server 2009 Performance Optimization Guide.

The idea for the tool was conceived by BizTalk MVP Mikael Hakansson and the actual project involved a few Microsoft employees: Ewan Fairweather from the BizTalk Server CAT and  other members from the SQL Server CAT.

For a full description of the project check out these blog posts:
