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.

A big retail store selling things in different places - like in their physical stores, on the internet, and from various suppliers. They had a problem because it used to takes too long to process orders and it was challenging to keep track of what they have in stock. This made customers unhappy because their orders are late, and sometimes the store runs out of the things people want to buy. As solution messagiong layer was introduced and for that IBM MQ was used to decouple the different systems involved in the order processing and inventory management process. This means that when an order is placed by a customer online or in-store, the order information is not directly processed but is instead placed in a IBM MQ message queue.

IBM MQ is a way of passing information between the system and the application. It is very easy to make and maintain applications in easier way. Its robust and reliable secure messaging solution is very impressive for us. Its wide range of API and language commands is very impressive. It working features of a broad range of computing platforms are also beneficial for us.

We use the IBM MQ for our Swift message management. It has a better messaging format structure which has reduced our dispute with customers over duplicates of messages. We formally also used it on Omniflow to manage the message queuing challenge with flexcube. All tanked messages are easily worked on using IBM MQ

MQ is a critical component of our infrastructure. It is used by most of our Platinum services including Mobil banking, Internet banking, Payments and customer applications. As our IT infrastructure is made up of a number of platforms from Mainframe/ Linux/ Solaris/ Windows / Tandem it has proven to be the ideal choice of product to enable seamless and guaranteed delivery of data across all these platforms. MQ has been a key product for our company for over 30 years and continues to be used in the development of new applications. MQ is also used to send / receive data from external partners which again is critical to our business

We have some process that handle a lot of records (more than 500K) and this infromation goes through different applications/systems. We use a messaging broker, the IBM MQ, RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ to control the communication process, to make it more efficient, balanced and also to avoid generating unnecessary API calls.

Main thing about MQ is it's reliability and security . Our MQ estate has more than 300+ instances running
Most of the application trust MQ as a medium to process the messages/transactions .

When connecting with partners , our MQ connectivity works seamlessly and in a very secured manner . Using the latest Ciphers allows secured and also adhering to the standards ( example - using TLS 1.3 Ciphers )

Ease of administration - with the usage of uniform clustering and other solutions , our integration setup makes easier .

An important solution to get the right communication between all users in the organisation, with better communication we have achieved more internal progress and of course have more relationship with colleagues.We have fluid communication between applications where fortunately we can make distributed transactions.IBM MQ has had a simple implementation process, reliable and with the security we all need for communication, it ensures the delivery of files without being filtered without permission.The speed with which messages and documents are sent and delivered is unique.

IBM MQ is a dependable messaging system that can be used in small projects but it really shines in large enterprise systems. Its deployment options from containers to mainframes are unmatched.
We've deployed IBM MQ in IBM mainframe z/OS, enabling reliable async communication between subsystems. An additional benefit of IBM MQ is its transaction capability. Not many messaging systems support distributed transactions. This can be a game changer when data consistency is paramount.

This software helps to connect different applications hence there is effective communications between us and our customers. It offers high speed for communication. It is the best messaging platform for any business especially one that needs constant communication with their customers like in our case. This is a secure messaging platform so one does not have to worry about their messages. There is also data attack prevention through some of its features hence customer information is secure.

We use it essentially for communication between clients and to maintain updated databases within the organization. Assuming that an application works incorrectly IBM MQ is configured to warn us of this and be able to reconfigure the rebellious application in time, this is very intuitive and you do not need to have great knowledge to be able to direct it.

We directly use it for internal communication of programs, and the tracking of these is greatly facilitated with the IBM server, we think it is not something simple since the volume of applications we use for the creation of hardware testing is too much and IBM easily supports all the workload that we put on your shoulders.

IBM MQ is our partner par excellence in installation support for a wide variety of programs and applications that allow us to generate reports and data research. It currently feeds us with a wide variety of workloads with program reports that we have hosted on its system and it is the best that it is always operational, in all the time we have been using it we have not seen a failure.

There are heavy programs that need to be hosted on servers due to their large space and assigned weight, which need to be active 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, IBM MQ can support them with total fluidity and speed, and also has the compatibility to create supports and access controls to employees who enter to manage, edit, order the applications at any time of the day. These would be the main applications that we give to the IBM MQ server in the hospital.
