Marknadsföringsbeskrivning

IBM WebSphere MQ allows you to easily exchange information across different platforms, integrating existing business applications in the process. It assures reliable delivery of messages, dynamically distributes workload across available resources, and helps make programs portable. IBM WebSphere MQ delivers enhanced performance with integrated Java Messaging Support (JMS), making it the JMS provider of choice, and ensures that your data is delivered free from errors and safe from unauthorized access. It offers comprehensive security options using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the Internet standard for secure communication and simplifies development of Application Programming Interface (API) exits to allow monitoring and implementation of local standards.

Produktegenskaper

• Assured delivery
  WebSphere MQ can reduce the risk of data being lost when applications, Web services or networks fail. It also helps ensure that data is not duplicated and completes as a single unit of work or transaction. This assured delivery means that WebSphere MQ forms the backbone of many critical communication systems and is entrusted with delivering business-critical and high-value data. WebSphere MQ can deliver information either synchronously or asynchronously depending on the needs of the applications and Web services. It can also be configured to provide a less-robust quality of service for increased performance on less-critical data.
• Powerful development facilities
  WebSphere MQ simplifies integration tasks by providing a functionally rich - yet easy to use - application development interface that removes the data movement and storage logic from the application, helping users to focus on the business logic. WebSphere MQ provides a consistent application programming interface, MQI, throughout all its supported platforms, which helps make integrated programs portable. In addition to this de facto standard interface, WebSphere MQ also fully implements the industry standard Java Message Service (JMS) interface, including support for publish and subscribe messaging.
• Web services
  WebSphere MQ makes an ideal transport for adding reliability and traceability to SOAP interactions between Web services, especially as part of an SOA. Existing and batch applications that are Web services-enabled can also benefit from using WebSphere MQ in its asynchronous mode as a buffering mechanism, regulating the flow of requests made to these systems.
• Reliable file transfer
  WebSphere MQ reduces the time and skills required to be productive with a new File Transfer application that provides a simple GUI tool to move files over the MQ network with reliability. In addition, simple scripting commands for file transfer enable batches of files to be transferred, triggered by the operating system or by applications.
• Time-independent processing
  WebSphere MQ helps users send business information to other parts of their business or to Business Partners or customers without waiting for it to arrive. WebSphere MQ users feel safe knowing that as soon as recipients are able to receive it, the information will be delivered. This is particularly useful when the sender and recipient work in different time zones or in different countries. Time-independent (asynchronous) messaging decouples applications. When applications are running and the network is up, WebSphere MQ in asynchronous mode delivers messages just as quickly as in synchronous mode. Asynchronous messaging enables the messaging layer to cope better with situations where parts of the architecture are unavailable. If this happens, the messages are kept safe and data is eventually processed when it can be.
• Integrate virtually anything
  Most enterprises today are large, distributed organizations that have accumulated, written or acquired a range of diverse IT systems, often independently over time. In today's fast-paced business environment, organizations need to invest in using the power of integration to increase their responsiveness and flexibility, instead of wrestling with underlying network complexities to connect applications. Maintaining home-grown approaches for connecting applications wastefully diverts valuable skills and time away from higher-level integration concerns. Offloading these time-consuming tasks to WebSphere MQ frees systems integrators and application developers to apply their skills to higher-level integration challenges that bring further benefits to IT departments and to the business.
• Support for growth
  WebSphere MQ does more than just enable customers to manage the technology they have today more effectively. It gives them a clear path to the future - a flexible infrastructure in which they can develop and deploy applications faster and more cost effectively, without writing complex communications code. Both WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Application Server provide messaging resources that can form the foundation for a company's ESB, which can grow incrementally with their business needs.
