| You can do the following to accomplish a distributed deployment topology
taking into account Scalability & High Availability:
Here is a brief description on how load is balanced on the BizTalk Servers:[vbcol=seagreen]
Scaling Out BizTalk Servers
The four BIZTALK tiers can be broadly viewed as follows:
Receiving Servers (RxHost)
FILE: Either local or UNC path
HTTP/SOAP: Multiple NLB servers (for example, Port: 80)
MSMQT: Multiple NLB servers (for example, {Port: 1801/3527)
FTP/SQL: Multiple Receiving servers
Processing Servers (PxHost)
Multiple orchestration servers
Transmitting Servers (TxHost)
Multiple sending servers
Tracking Servers (TrkHost)
One or more Tracking servers[vbcol=seagreen]
The BizTalk Service (BTSNTSvc.exe)
The BizTalk service is not a cluster-aware service and does not need to be
installed on a cluster. High Availability is provided by setting up
multiple redundant servers at each tier. The BizTalk Server functionality
can conceptually be divided into four tiers: Receiving, Processing,
Transmitting, and Database. At the Receiving tier, depending on the
transports used to solve the business needs, either NLB (Network Load
Balancing) can be used for the following transports HTTP/SOAP/MSMQT or
multiple servers can be deployed to provide high availability. At the
Processing (Orchestration) tier where business process workflows are
executed, multiple servers can be deployed to share the work and provide
high availability. At the transmitting tier for all transports, multiple
servers can be deployed to share the work and provide high availability.
The BizTalk service makes extensive use of memory and, depending on the
transport used, may extensively use system resources. For example, FILE
transport needs access to the file IO system. HTTP and SOAP use the HTTP
transport and require IIS. The SSO service instances use RPC to communicate
with the SSO-Master Secret Server. All BizTalk service instances use MSDTC
to commit or roll back transactions. It is not necessary to have SQL
installed locally on the BizTalk machines as long as SQL client
connectivity tools are installed. This BizTalk service also hosts the
Tracking Sub-Service and the MSMQT Sub-Service.[vbcol=seagreen]
Scaling Out SQL Servers[vbcol=seagreen]
BizTalk servers are by design stateless with no data persisted locally. All
data is stored in a central location within the SQL Server databases. It is
the SQL Server databases, specifically the BizTalk Management database,
which brings multiple BizTalk servers together as a single group. BizTalk
has a hard dependency on SQL Server being installed. Because SQL Server is
essential to the running of the BizTalk service, it is strongly recommended
that SQL be installed in a Highly Available manner on an MSCS cluster,
using either RAID5 or SAN disks with backup power supply. These databases
should be backed up regularly using SQL Server best practices. The BizTalk
service is designed to automatically recover from a SQL Server connection
failure. Depending on the features configured, multiple databases are
created.[vbcol=seagreen]
HOSTS & HOST Instances[vbcol=seagreen]
BizTalk Server 2004 is designed to provide convenience and flexibility for
management of multiple servers that are part of a BizTalk Server Group from
a centralized location. Management and maintenance of multiple BizTalk
servers is simplified by abstracting away the physical servers from the
roles the servers play using the concept of Hosts, which are logical
containers. Because of this level of indirection, the servers are not
tightly bound to the roles they are designated to perform.
By adding servers, called Host Instances, into Hosts the servers take on
the responsibility of performing the tasks that the Hosts are designated to
play. This design simplifies the process of adding, removing, starting, and
stopping specific BizTalk Host Instances without impacting other running
BizTalk Host Instances. Thus, servers are updated in real-time without
impacting availability. The design is also flexible enough to have one
server perform multiple tasks, such as Receiving, Processing, and
Transmitting. These tasks can further be configured to run in separate
address spaces by defining multiple Hosts and adding the same server to
each of the Hosts. Hosts can be configured with different security
credentials, thereby restricting access to certain functionality.[vbcol=seagreen]
