7. Learning the lessons of messaging middleware
Systems are dynamic – new applications, new
sources of data, new consumers of data
• The challenge of delivering data to meet
changing demands needs a flexible infrastructure
• Roll-your-own code in the applications
– Increases cost, time and complexity, but can deliver the
code where you need it
• Storing the data in a database or file
– Creates a permanent record, but does nothing to provide
timely analysis
A messaging infrastructure can meet both needs
• Keeps the application simple and able to adapt to change
• Can deliver filtered information to consuming applications,
and also deliver to a permanent information store

14. IBM MQ Advanced makes it easier for
clients to buy and deploy all the IBM
MQ distributed server capabilities they
need within a single purchase.
• IBM MQ Advanced for Developers is
also available specifically for
development use only
IBM MQ Advanced is a part that provides
entitlement to IBM MQ Server, Managed
File Transfer Service, Advanced
Message Security, and Telemetry:
• Buy a single part at a single price (per
PVU) for all the distributed server
capabilities.
What makes IBM MQ Advanced different?

15. Use IBM MQ Advanced Message
Security (AMS) to guarantee the
privacy of message contents
End-to-end data encryption
• Protects business and customer
data from exposure if systems
breached
• Demonstrates awareness of
security risks and takes action to
avoid impact

16. Where does Telemetry fit in?
Real-time access for enterprise
applications to connect to a range of
mobile devices, remote sensors,
actuators etc.
IBM MQ Telemetry includes the
following key components:
• The Telemetry service that runs on the IBM
MQ server
• MQ Telemetry clients that are distributed to
remote devices and applications
MQ Telemetry uses the open standard
MQTT protocol.

17. Where does Managed File Transfer fit in?
Bringing Managed File Transfer to IBM MQ – file data is moved as MQ messages.
Available as 2 chargeable components: MFT Agent and MFT Service. Available
separately, and MFT Service is included in MQ Advanced
An MFT Agent performs the fundamental file
transfer function of sending and receiving files from
the local system.
MFT Service installs a file transfer agent on a MQ
server with additional capabilities
MQ MFT supports file-to-file movement, but also
file-to-message, and message-to-file
An MQ Explorer integrated GUI or command-line is
used to configure and administer MFT.

One file to a group of messages
One message to one file
A group of messages (or all messages on the queue) to one file
• File can be split based on:
– Size
– Binary delimiter
– Regular expression
• One message becomes one file
• Optionally, a delimiter can be
inserted between each message
used to compose the file
• One file becomes one message

21. High Availability and Idle Standby
Lower cost licensing for failover systems – whatever the High Availability (HA)
solution you choose
Failures happen, but they don’t have to impact your business
Have you designed for high availability?
Protect your ability to access your applications and data, and process your messages and transactions without
interruption in case of failure
MQ offers a choice of HA options:
MQ-based: Multi-Instance Queue Managers
Software-based HA with automatic failover
Failover systems licensed through ‘Idle Standby’ Licensing
Hardware based: PowerHA, and other 3rd party options
Restarts wider range of system and application based assets
Fully automated HA had historically been licensed through purchase of a full additional license
License updates extend ‘Idle Standby’ licensing to hardware-based HA environments as well
20
23. IBM MQ Advanced for Developers
• What’s this for?
– A part in the IBM MQ offering that is intended for use by developers only
– Enables developers to install and use the entire IBM MQ Advanced stack on their personal
development machines without needing to pay a PVU based license
• Priced by Authorised User Single Install with IBM Support
• Doesn’t replace existing Test and Production usage

27. Event driven applications
Streaming data to analytics
Wiring for microservices
Messaging is key for new engaging applications
• De-coupled microservices allow applications
to evolve rapidly
– Open protocols support current and future
technologies, allowing any component to
• Low response times are non-negotiable for
engaging applications
– Applications which are told and respond when
something happens, they don’t have to keep
watching

30. 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
Licensing for MQ on Docker is BYOSL based on
PVUs of the machine running the Docker container
31. Scripted Deployment of MQ
UrbanCode Deploy
IBM tool for automating deployments of
applications and middleware
IBM MQ supported with a plug-in
Configure and interact directly with IBM MQ
in multiple ways with out-of-the-box steps
Chef
Chef automates configuration and management
Allows infrastructure to be described in code
Scripts already available for deployment of MQ
Ensuring MQ continues to be easier and quicker to deploy
30
32. Appeal of the Cloud: Perception of MQ:
vs
ease of deployment
low skill
scalable
cheap
high skill
effort and risk from change
application complexity
MQ self service
Perceptions of IBM as a Service today
Line-of-business and developer resistance to using MQ
MQ not taken into future deployments where it should be
MQ systems able to respond to LoB requirements quickly
MQ suitable for cloud deployments
31
33. 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
32
35. • The scalability and security of IBM MQ V8 in a physical appliance form factor
• Rapid, reliable, simple, secure exchange of data across applications, systems and services
• Convenience, fast time-to-value, and low total cost of ownership of an appliance
• Use as a messaging hub to extend connectivity within your enterprise, in branch offices, factories or stores
Rapid to deploy, easy to configure and run for enterprise and
remote deployments
