The Secure Connectivity and Messaging Service in the Cloud

Service Bus provides secure messaging and connectivity capabilities that enable building distributed and disconnected applications in the cloud, as well as hybrid applications across both on-premise and the cloud. It enables using various communication and messaging protocols and patterns, and saves the need for the developer to worry about delivery assurance, reliable messaging and scale.

Service Bus is publicly available in Production for paying customers at http://windows.azure.com. You can also try out some of our latest and greatest features in our Free Labs Environment at http://portal.appfabriclabs.com.
