About IBM’s WebSphere MQ

WebSphere MQ (formerly MQSeries™) from IBM™ is a client-server message broker supporting an open API (application programming interface), available on a variety of operating systems including AIX™, Solaris™, HP-UX™, and Windows™. WebSphere MQ is “middleware” that provides commercial messaging and queuing services. Messaging enables programs to communicate with each other via messages rather than direct connection. Messages are placed in queues for temporary storage, freeing up programs to continue to work independently. This process also allows communication across a network of dissimilar components, processors, operating systems, and protocols.
