Product Details

What is IBM MQ?

IBM MQ connects applications and microservices in private datacenters, across hybrid or multi-cloud environments, and at the edge of the enterprise. It allows businesses, from large enterprises to startups, to ensure every order, every payment, and every customer interaction counts. Messages between applications are delivered reliably once-and-only-once and applications are decoupled to enable rapid response to sudden traffic increases or system outages. Businesses can tap into the value of existing mission-critical data to gain real-time insights and ensure the safety of customer and business data with comprehensive security mechanisms.

  • The business objectives were to reduce costs initially and that base was more than met, it was our main objective delayed that is already ready.
  • The other proven objective of the second necessity was the times and reduce the intermittencies of disconnection of apps, IBM MQ has supported us a lot in this regard.
  • Security has always been a major issue, we cannot afford to afford an attack on our sensitive programs or a dangerous entry of attackers. IBM MQ has been able to shield us by default with configurations that allow us to solve security and the ability to give us extra security Gates.

  • The data that the program throws are wonderful, easy to extract and to share, and that makes the time we spend reduced considerably.
  • X applications and programs stay connected all the time, this is a fabulous support advantage.
  • The objectives as a company had to maximize the advantages of our products by testing them with the apps that we host on IBM have benefited greatly from the entire ecosystem.

  • In general, we are very satisfied with the quality of the connection, which is something that we in the marketing department can coordinate, and benefit from receiving data that translates into business decision-making.
  • It is something essential that we value daily.
  • On the other hand, the cost in my company has already been recovered, since the time we spent before in implementing the apps and the data that we received were included in a much longer time than we manage today, which is much less.

  • In the field of security, the infrastructure offers a great quality of locks so that anyone cannot enter easily, this is carefully managed and is a guaranteed boost when hiring it.
  • As for the time base that we used to spend before, it has reduced roaming and intermittence controls, it is fast and fluid so it has saved us a lot of time in tedious connections and repairs.
  • On the other hand, the productivity of applications that are more stable and can work simultaneously and with each other has increased.

  • The answer is yes, it has met business objectives, we determined that a program like this would increase commitment and speed when managing our data, and we achieved them.
  • We could say that the ability to transfer files has also made an improvement in the reduction of time, but you have to be careful; you have to have extra administration when transferring data in bulk mode because they can be lost.
