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.

while designing IBM MQ solution plan for Clustering as IBM MQ supports the creation of clustered environments, where multiple queue managers work together to ensure high availability and load balancing. This enables seamless failover and minimizes the risk of service interruptions. Also by implementing features like active-standby queue managers, build fault-tolerant architectures that ensure continuity of service in the event of hardware or software failures

The traffic of messages is the main reason, sometimes it does not work very well so there may be a chance of breakdown message delivery being late and there are so many competitors in the market. Sometimes messages are showing the error handling queue because of quality of protection mismatch and so on.

We never expected problems on application errors. The system was always available on production and lower enviroments. I remember a scheduled maintenance process on lower enviroments announced by IBM, but it took like 1 hour and was executed after midnight and the enext day we didn't have issues, so I'm assuming it went well

IBM MQ supports its surrounding applications when they require downtime for planned outages or unexpected outages. IBM MQ has many high-availability configurations which ensure that it remains available and resilient at all times.

Most of the critical applications rely on active/active setup , Mutlit-instance is a plus point of service reliability.
Lesser downtime when we do the patching. Recovery of the queue manager is fast .

MQ works very well with our DevOps ( Jenkins , Ansible ) we use it for
1) Regular MQ config backup
2) Message Replay ( using q-utility or dmpmqmsg)

The messages are delivered instantly with this software and it integrates with our technology stack, in terms of availability we only had one failure when we were doing some testing and integration with third parties, the features of this software make it always available and its deployment is easy for the company, it does not generate expenses due to failures.

IBM WebSphere allows for continuous operations even in the event of system failures. It helps to ensure that messages are delivered even under extreme conditions, making it a reliable and dependable solution for managing high-performing message-driven applications.

IBM MQ cluster is highly available and we are not faced any issues while using this tool. IBM MQ on Cloud provides high availability to handle outages or failures that might occur for individual workers on which queue managers are running, we use type of failure "Cold Disaster Recovery", shortened to "Cold DR" . Features like failover controller is great, that's why I had given rating 8 oit of 10.

Surely yes, the data that throw the apps demonstrate speaks for itself. More than 8000 hours of work where no app of more than 50 have paid to work, except when they have the updates and semiannual maintenance.

Absolutely yes, it maintains the connection of the programs so it is always alive 24/7. So far it has never left us alone, this has been fundamental to maintaining the testing of Hardware with rotating work teams day and night.
