I am trying to find out if installing the WebSphere MQ V7.5 client within a Azure Worker Role or a server running Windows 2012 R2 on the IaaS platform is supported. I cannot find much on the IBM web site. My guess is I am going to have to contact someone within IBM but do not know witch group to contact.
IBM Provides Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for Amazon Web Services and promotes it fairly heavily. If they had the equivalent for Azure I'm sure they would also promote it openly. There doesn't appear to be much online though you can extend on-premise MQ to Azure via some tecniques but that's not truly MQ in Azure.

I was looking for the way to connect my Azure Web App using a hybrid connection to my On Premise Database server, Oracle Linux.
Any suggestions?
greetings.
Unfortunately, Hybrid Connection Manager does not Support for Linux. The Hybrid Connections feature requires a relay agent in the network that hosts your Hybrid Connection endpoint. The reply agent (HCM) is not supported on anything earlier than Windows Server 2012. Refer to this doc: Azure App Service Hybrid Connections.
Also, you can vote this for HCM Support for Linux so that Azure App Service Team will receive your feedback and will have a support plan in the future.
It is recommended to run Oracle Software on Azure which brings scalability, flexibility, security, and performance to your Oracle workloads—while reducing the cost of infrastructure management. You can see the list of Oracle images.
Can I use or integrate any software in Bluemix such as Apache Spark? Or does Bluemix limits the developers to using software products and services that are available in the platform?
Bluemix provides a catalog of services as a convenient way to access those capabilities within your application. The platform handles user creation and credential handling within the service for your app.
But you're not forced to use those services. If you have an externally hosted service that you need to use in your app, you are free to do so.
If you want to host your own service instance within the Bluemix environment, you can make use the the IBM Container service, or a Softlayer hosted virtual machine.
IBM Bluemix has a very good hybrid cloud story. You are not limited to using software product or services that are available within the Bluemix platform.
If you have a software product that you would like to integrate with Bluemix, it is best to host them within Bluemix using Bluemix container or Bluemix VM to minimize the latency between your Bluemix application and the software you like to run.
If you have a third party service that is offered outside of Bluemix or if you prefer to host your software on-premise, there is a suite of services in the Integration category on Bluemix (e.g. Secure Gateway and Cloud Integration) that provides secure connectivity from Bluemix to other applications and data sources running on-premise or in other clouds.
I have a question about the BizTalk Adapter Service for BizTalk Services. I know that the adapter runs in IIS - I would like to know if that is only necessary for development or for run-time too?
Because I would like to use BizTalk Services to insert XML messages into an Azure SQL:
Using Azure BizTalk Services to Insert XML Messages into an Azure SQL Server
Would I need to provide a server just for hosting the adapter? If so, that wouldn't make much sense to me
roxor, I believe that you are correct in the suspicion that you need to host the adapter service and I agree that it makes no sense. I simply do not think this is a scenario currently 'properly' covered by BizTalk Services.
The adapter service has been introduced to support integration with
several on-premises systems, SQL Server amongst them -
The BizTalk Adapter Service feature allows an application in the cloud
to communicate with a Line-of-Business (LOB) system on-premise, in
your network, behind your firewall. Using the LOB adapters in the
BizTalk Adapter Pack (BAP), a BizTalk Adapter Service application can
execute LOB operations to the following on-premise LOB systems: •
Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle Database
• Oracle E-Business Suite
• SAP
• Siebel eBusiness Applications

It does that by utilising Windows Azure Service Bus' Relay service. I don't think that Windows Azure SQL Database natively fits the model and although I can see how it can be done it does seem very awkward and quite pointless. In my humble opinion this article shouldn't have been published.
I would imagine that integration with SQL Database would be added to WABS natively eventually, until then, if it was down to me, I'd front it with a web service. Makes sense architecturally anyway.
yes Adapter service is required during runtime .
the role of Adapter service is to pick the message from service bus relay and send it to Azure SQL DB .
i am checking how it works if Adapter service is in stop state .
you can refer the article for more knowledge of BiztalK adapter Service

Current my company delivers our software to our customers through a Citrix Xenapp Server. As administrators we are able to launch instances of the servers and our customers are only able to launch their specific application
My Question is does Windows Azure also offer this type of environment. I am looking to deploy a new version of our application and I am leaning towards Azure, but if that is the direction we go in I would like to migrate all of our existing system to Azure and not maintain both Azure and Citrix ?
Or If directly not possible, then can we have alternative like
Windows Azure with Citrix XenDesktop ?
I mean Citrix has released XenDesktop 6.5 & 7. Same time Microsoft allows Guest OS which now combined will resolved the purpose ?
Will it be Virtual Desktop as a Service over Windows Azure ? Will it possible & solve the purpose ?
Yes, Citrix XenDesktop 7 can be deployed on Windows Azure, with support for features such as live session roaming, multiple device types and formats, and rich user-interface media experiences.
For the announcement refer to Citrix Enables High-Performance App and Desktop Delivery from Windows Azure.
For an explanation refer to Hosting Citrix Desktops from Windows Azure.
This ability is supported by Microsoft's RDS (Remote Desktop Services) Subscriber Access Licensing (SAL) available for Azure. For more information about licensing refer to this blog article: Remote Desktop Services are now allowed on Windows Azure and also to the latest Microsoft Product Use Rights docs.
I just started to read about this new technology...
Does someone have some knowledge about it?

Windows Azure is a cloud services
operating system that serves as the
development, service hosting, and
service management environment for the
Azure Services Platform. Windows Azure
provides developers with on-demand
compute and storage to host and manage
web applications on the internet
through Microsoft data centers.
So in summary, no you do not need a traditional web host if you used Microsoft's Azure. Note also that it is still only in Community Technology Preview and it isn't something you should be thinking about right now, IMHO.
