BizTalk Server 2004: Microsoft Advisory Services Engagement Scenario - BizTalk Server Performance Issues

SUPPORT SOLUTION:
Note: This article discusses a scenario that may be addressed by Microsoft Advisory Services.Microsoft Advisory Services is an hourly fee-based, consultative support option that provides proactive support beyond your break-fix product maintenance needs. This is a remote, phone-based support option that includes working with the same technician for assistance with issues like product migration, code review, or new program development. This service is typically used for shorter engagements, and is designed for developers and IT professionals who do not require the traditional onsite consulting or sustained account management services that are available from other Microsoft support options.
This article also provides some self-help resources for this scenario.For additional information on Microsoft Advisory Services, including on how to engage, refer to this Microsoft web page:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=AdvisoryService

.Short description

Is BizTalk performing slower when you drop a huge number of messages? Does the performance degrade during high volume
Are you looking to improve the number of messages processes in a certain time?
Does these messages process faster outside BizTalk(Example making direct webservice call)
Large number of messages causes out of memory errors.
SQL resulting into blocking and deadlocks for BizTalk processing
Prolonged BizTalk throttling .Long description

Are you looking to change the performance throughput.
Is high memory/ high CPU/ SQL contention contributing to performance issues.
Are you looking for general advice on howto creates more scalable solutions. Example: adding more host.
Does your BizTalk server performance degrade when you have a burst of messages?
