Hi all,
I am trying to convince a technical manager of all the benefits of using MQ and integration architectures versus say using Java RMI or webservices. I will highly appreciate all your help. Can you please list the different benefits? I can think of the following
1. Asynchronous messaging (do not have to worry about whether the other application is up or not)
2. Using MQ gives you a loosely coupled architecture. (more flexible)
3. assured message delivery by using message persistence
4. Do not have to worry about network programming etc, MQ takes care of all that.
There is possibly more than can be added to the list.
Warm regards. |

MQ converts the messages for you as they move between different platforms......

MQ can reliably handle significantly larger messages than either RMI or HTTP.
MQ can support significantly more compact data formats than XML or java objects.

Do we get commissions from IBM now? MQ rocks because it allow your company to quickly integrate applications using a reliable and reusable messaging infrastructure. Other transport methods also do not allow of publish subscribe like data sharing.

| How pervasive will messaging be in your company? I work for a Fortune 500 company. They needed to justify the long term cost which wasn't any easy task but it got done (that was 3 years). Now, we have a dedicated EAI team and full steam ahead on a lot of integration projects. If cost is a factor, then you'll have consider the future benefits. MQ has made much of this possible for our company. Check out www.eaipatterns.com: it is a good intro for those who think EAI is just another buzzword. Start with the conceptual then the benefits become more apparent. |

MQ is available on 30+ (I think some are sort of 3rd party, though) Platforms.
The IBM support is usually pretty good! (Well at least to me) |
