Introducing the IBM MQ Appliance by CQSA


Johannesburg, 22 Jan 2019

Since its emergence in the 1990s, many enterprises have adoptedmessaging middlewareas the company-wide integration backbone of choice, and by far the most successful message queuing product choice over the years has beenIBM MQ.

The asynchronous connectivity it offers has proved the ideal mechanism for linking different applications, sites and devices with queuing, providing the means to easily smooth out load spikes or connectivity issues.

IBM has continued to develop MQ enhancements and brought out new versions over time, constantly providing MQ support for IBM and non-IBM-related platforms and constantly upgrading functionality.

But, MQ has always been a software product deployed on general purpose servers, until now. The new IBM MQ Appliance brings the market-leading messaging middleware together with the tried and testedIBM DataPower platform, producing a purpose-builtMQ Appliancethat delivers all the functionality of MQ with many of the characteristics of the DataPower appliance. The result is an MQ deployment option that is pre-packaged, tested and tuned, uniform in functionality, secure, tamper-proof, locked down and remotely configurable.

The IBM MQ Appliance is, quite simply, MQ in a box.

The IBM MQ Appliance performs at levels far in excess of an equivalently priced server, and provides additional benefits:

* There is no OS to maintain;* Multiple queue managers on a single platform with network segregation capabilities;* Built-in high availability;* Built-in DR replication;* Built-in security (AMS); and many more features.

Take a look at the MQ Appliance animation video and give CQSA a call for further information.
