Biztalk 2013 enterprise or standard

OK i have had my answer by a talk with a mvp.

I attached his blog here, for the people who can fall on this question and find it useful.

SANDRO PEREIRA BIZTALK BLOG – My notes about Enterprise Integration: BizTalk Server, Azure Service Bus, Logic Apps, API Management and everything Integration related.

his answer was this one, and it answers completely to my question:

Standard edition has a limitation of 5 Applications but you need to understand the concept of applications in BizTalk –

What Is a BizTalk Application? - BizTalk Server :

“The BizTalk application is a feature of BizTalk Server that makes it quicker and easier to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot BizTalk Server business
solutions. A BizTalk application is a logical grouping of the items, called “artifacts,” used in a BizTalk Server business solution. Artifacts are described in more detail later in this topic.”

This means you can only have 5 logic containers of BizTalk Artifacts, however inside that application (or logical container) you can have unlimited artifacts: ports, schemas, orchestration and so on.

Also, there is no association between Visual Studio project and a BizTalk Application, i.e., you can have several different BizTalk Visual Studio Solutions deployed to the same BizTalk Application.

Nevertheless, Standard edition have other important limitations that you need to be aware:

• Limited to 8 Cores, single server

• Single Message Box

You can have a look to the BizTalk Server 2013 Licensing Datasheet
and FAQ for more details

So if you have 5 orchestrations (flows) with 5 file transfer by ftp per example you can deploy them in the same BizTalk Application or divide them in a maximum number of 5 BizTalk Applications and you will
pay $2,485 per Core License (in a max limit of 8 cores)… so if you have a machine with 4 cores you will pay $9,940.

If you have 100 orchestrations (flows) with 100 file transfer you still pay the same if you divide/deploy them in a maximum number of 5 BizTalk Applications.

Standard edition will not allow you to create more that 5 BizTalk application – logical containers

I hope this will be quite usefull for everybody and thx agains to Sandro and his blog.

regards,
