actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results
similar to those stated here.

• Now up to 310 x 4GB active logs.
• MQV8+
21Session 3470 for latest z/OS features

The IBM MQ Appliance

• The scalability, security and reliability of IBM MQ V8
• The convenience, fast time-to-value and low total cost of
ownership of an appliance
• Built in high availability and disaster recovery capabilities
• Ideal for use as a messaging hub running queue managers
accessed by clients, or to extend MQ connectivity to a remote
location
• Familiar feel for existing MQ users – application interfaces,
administration, networking/clustering, security….
The IBM MQ Appliance
Sessions 3456, 3458, 3465 for the appliance 24

MQ Appliance high availability and disaster recovery
• Fully built-in HA and DR capabilities
– No external components required
– Per queue manager active/passive
topologies
• High availability
– Short distance configurations
– All recoverable data replicated immediately
– Failures automatically detected and queue
managers restarted
• Disaster recovery (firmware update 4)
– Long distance configurations
– Manual queue manager takeover
Synchronous replication
Automatic takeover
Asynchronous replication
manual takeover
Sessions 3456, 3458, 3465 for the appliance
Statement of Direction to
support combined HA
and DR deployments
25

MQ Appliance console
• Browser-based UI for
administering the appliance
– Administration
• Configuration of the appliance
and the MQ resources
– Monitoring
• Exposes machine level
metrics
• And MQ operations
Sessions 3456, 3458, 3465 for the appliance
Statement of Direction to provide the
console across multiple MQ platforms
in the future
26

New MQ environments

IBM PureApplication
28
• PureApplication provides a fully integrated IaaS for
automated provisioning of machines and software
deployments
– Available as a hardware system, software or a Softlayer service
– Repeatable and reliable MQ deployments for consistency
• MQ vSys.Next Support in IBM PureApplication V2.0
from MQ V8.0.0.3 onwards
– Concept similar to hypervisor but software components separated from O/S
– Drag and drop MQ onto Core O/S image to compose VM configuration
• Management and maintenance of MQ via PureApp console
• Pattern support for highly available queue managers
• Power/AIX support added to Linux x86 support with MQ 8.0.0.4
Off-prem in Dedicated
SoftLayer datacenters
worldwide
On-prem Bring Your Own
Hardware
On-prem Appliance

MQ in Docker
• MQ 8.0.0.4 supported to run inside a Docker image.
Details: https://ibm.biz/mqdocker
• Brings the benefits of Docker to MQ
– Lightweight containers for running MQ
– Predictable and standardized units for deploying MQ
– Process, resource and dependency isolation
• IBM sample Docker files for customizing and building
your own Docker images
– Best practice guidance
– Runs an MQ queue manager inside a container,
isolated from the rest of your system
29

Supporting MQ deployed to the cloud
• Enterprise applications are expanding beyond the
datacentre and asynchronous Enterprise Messaging is
the easiest and most efficient way to bridge between the
applications in globally distributed cloud datacentres.
– MQ offerings available on popular public cloud platforms
• E.g. Azure, EC2, Softlayer
• Monthly or hourly license options for MQ are available
• Or BYOL
– Or build your own VM or container and deploy
30

Using MQ as a service
• Not an environment, more a lifestyle choice!
• Addresses the increasing demands on agility and scale of
messaging infrastructures
• As a service goes hand in hand with self service
• Many clients have built MQ as a service today
– Orchestration and automation of MQ resources
• E.g. IBM Urbancode Deploy, Chef, Puppet, etc.
– Running on bare metal or in a cloud
• Redpaper now available http://ibm.biz/mqaas_red
Sessions 2931, 3613 for as a service 32

MQ ecosystem – what’s new

Running MQ in Docker is now supported
for production use

MQ Light

MQ Light : Software and Cloud
Messaging that application developers
will love to use, helping them make
responsive applications that scale
easily
A very simple messaging API
Multiple ways to access MQ Light
– An MQ Light software download for developers
– A managed Bluemix service
• Message Hub (MQ Light support coming soon)
– Directly connected to MQ V8
Sessions 3540 and 3544 for MQ Light 36

Connecting MQ Light applications to MQ
• MQ Light applications connect directly into
MQ queue managers
• A new MQ channel type of “AMQP”
– Supported from MQ 8.0.0.4
– Similar in style to an MQTT channel
– Supports the subset of the AMQP 1.0 Oasis
specification required for MQ Light applications
• MQ Light applications interoperable with all
other MQ applications
– All share the same topic space
