Midrange MQ in an Open-Source World
MQ on IBM i continues to adapt to the needs of modern IT environments.
Written by Andrew Schofield
IBM MQ has been a familiar part of the corporate IT landscape for over 20 years. It’s been through a few name changes, but the fundamental idea of using asynchronous messaging to decouple communication between applications is as important now as it has ever been. Of course, over such a long period of time, there have been huge changes—in particular, the way that developers work using the Internet and open-source, and the rise of cloud computing. Therefore, we at IBM are doing many things in MQ to make sure that existing systems remain relevant and able to interact with the latest tools and platforms.
