“For current Microsoft Commerce Server customers,Microsoft will continue to honor mainstream and extended support of Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 through 2014 and 2019,respectively. Microsoft will not release future versions of Commerce Server,but Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2 will continue to be part of Microsoft’s official price list until July 2012. Both companies are working closely together to facilitate a smooth transition plan with customers. For more information,please visit http://www.commerceserver.net.”

Commerce Platforms those work with Sharepoint 2010

“Are there other options for Commerce and SharePoint 2010? –yes,in theory SharePoint will cooperate with any virtually any other commerce server solution. SharePoint would contain the detailed content,while the commerce component will handle payment and fulfilment.

Examples of other commerce solutions that will interoperate with SharePoint 2010 include:

Commerce Server 2009 R2 –http://www.microsoft.com/commerceserver/

Windows Azure –VM Role Jump Start

Windows Azure –VM Role Jump Start
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/Video/hh479556

What a VM Role Can Do
The VM Role is a perfect fit for the following scenarios:

  • Long running application installations
  • Error-prone application installations
  • Application installations requiring manual interaction

In these cases,a startup task will not work,thus the only solution is to use a VM Role.

Large Azure Deployments for Enterprise Applications

Using Windows Azure Regions efficiently

* Network latency* Availability “a region or data center might become offline and your application should be prepared to handle that scenario.”

Azure Table Service already provides some built-in support for crash recovery based on the idea of partitions that are replicated across different nodes (in different sub regions,for example North US and Central US),a SQL Azure database is not prepared for that scenario.
