Hi All,
Can any one tell me the difference detween the IBM MQ and MS MQ.
I really do not know what is MS MQ and I heard of it and I am eager to know about it.
Thanks,
Vasu |

MS MQ provides generally the same functionality as MQSeries, but obviously is a competing product from Microsoft. Just as MQSeries provides a JMS adapter, so does MS MQ. So presumably, any applications you write in Java using JMS, you should be able to switch the underlying middleware from MQSeries to MS MQ, and vice-versa, without having to change your code.

One Major difference MSMQ only works on Microsoft OS's, So if you are in an mixed platform enviroment this is not a good choice.

Yes... forgot about that one... That very much limits the effectiveness of their product. I also forgot to mention that there is an MS MQ / MQSeries bridge available which doesn't require the use of JMS.

True.
The MSMQ-MQSeries bridge is generally used for better connectivity to MQSeries in terms of performance and robustness. If interfacing with MQSeries is not required, than MSMQ can be used through BizTalk Server on Windows.
Also since the underlying MSMQ mechanism is on Windows, applications can use native features like Windows Load Balancing and Clustering. |

Hi All,
Thanks for your replies. As I understand from your post the code developed using MQ Series can be use in MS MQ using the MSMQ-MQSeries bridge and vice versa also possible.
Can I have more details on the bridge and its usage, if possible can you suggest me some link where I get this information.
Thanks a lot,
Vasu. |

To me the biggest difference between Websphere MQ and MSMQ is the price !!!!
MSMQ is free with the OS whereas Websphere MQ is $$$$$$$
There are a number of companies out there who do not even know that they allready have MSMQ on their network and have gone out and purchased Websphere MQ !!!!
Websphere MQ is a better product in terms of performance, extremely robust and it supports multiple platforms so which product is best suited to you depends on your business needs.
Regards

Beside the proprietary aspect (that can be overcomed using the Level8 bridge), MSMQ has features equivalent to Websphere MQ, plus some more. Examples:
- It is possible to use MSMQ without an API. How? You can write a COM+ object and specify that its methods are asynchronous. Any client of this COM+ object, when writing a simple method call on an instance of the object, will transparently use MSMQ to execute the method on an asynchronous COM+ server.
- Integration with IIS (Internet Information Server), you can put a message on a MSMQ queue by simply addressing a URL!
- Integration with SOAP.
- Sophisticated real-time multicast.
- 1Tb persistent queues
- Embedded security.
It's always the same story with Microsoft: proprietary, but sexy and impressive integration.
