BizTalk Server 2013 has RTM’d and is available for download for MSDN subscribers.

We are excited to announce that BizTalk Server 2013 is now “Released to Manufacturing” (RTM)!

BizTalk Server 2013 will be available for download on MSDN starting today. The English locale SKUs will be available for purchase starting April 2013. Other language SKUs will be available for purchase starting May 2013. Host Integration Server 2013 will ship at a later date, however, BizTalk Server 2013 is fully compatible with Host Integration Server 2010.

This is the eighth release of BizTalk Server, another step in the on-going investments we are making in BizTalk.  As discussed in our Beta announcement, we’ve made improvements in the following areas:

• Improved Performance
• Simplified Development and Management Experience
• Cloud Connectivity
• Running BizTalk Server in the cloud (IaaS)
• Support for the latest platform and standards
