Pervasive Software has selected the Microsoft Windows Azure platform for its hosted business-to-business data interchange service, Pervasive BusinessXchange WebDI.

The company recently deepened its engagement with Microsoft through participation in the Front Runner for Windows Azure Platform programme and the Microsoft Metro Early Adopter Program. Pervasive WebDI, a .Net application, also applied for and was selected for the Windows Azure platform Deep Dive program, an on-site immersion experience during which Pervasive technologists gained in-depth exposure to Windows Azure platform technologies and best practices.

“We are excited about the rich features of the Windows Azure platform including its elastic computing, reliable storage and dynamic service management components,” said Mike Hoskins, Pervasive chief technology officer and general manager of Pervasive integration products. “Together these components comprise a dependable cloud platform that is also massively scalable. We’ve also been impressed with Microsoft’s level of partnership commitment and support, which lets us confidently design a smooth, seamless transition for our WebDI customer base of more than 1,000 users.”

“Over the past several years, Microsoft has worked with Pervasive across many technologies and initiatives,” said Prashant Ketkar, Windows Azure senior director product marketing. “We are excited to extend these opportunities as Pervasive builds on its culture of innovation by adopting powerful new technologies including the Windows Azure platform. We welcome Pervasive WebDI to the fast-growing array of Windows Azure platform-hosted solutions.”
