COBALT

Basic functionality of Biztalk contains the persistence of the data to databases in several points during the processing, and during processing the message is kept in the memory. Due to this Biztalk uses a lot of system resources when processing large files and creating a solution for this needs a very thorough planning and optimization. 

FRENDS Cobalt handles large file transfer scenarios efficiently and the configuration for one endpoint-to-endpoint transfer takes only minutes. Payloads of the files transferred with Cobalt solution are not persisted into database what increases the performance of transfer scenarios. Cobalt process handles the files and ensures successful execution for each file within the batch.

FRENDS Iron offers another pattern for slightly different kind of requirements. Workflows executing SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages can be deployed as Iron routines and FRENDS connection point capabilities allow flexible parametrization possibilities to executable SSIS packages.
