WebSphere MQ Hypervisor For AIX

Full WebSphere MQ messaging capabilities

• Use one universal messaging backbone that can be rapidly deployed and operated in a virtualized environment.
• Offer support for more than 80 platform configurations, including native IBM z/OS®, IBM CICS®, IBM IMS™, IBM DB2®, Microsoft .NET and Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) environments.
• Provide message delivery services that include digital signatures, synchronous and asynchronous processing, one-time-only data exchange and support for secure sockets layer (SSL) and transport layer security (TLS) protocols.
• Take advantage of a wide range of message processing capabilities, including point-to-point, publish-and-subscribe, file transfer and multicast operation modes and clustering.
• Work with the open source, Eclipse-based WebSphere MQ Explorer.

IBM Workload Deployer or IBM PureApplication System deployment options

• Support the deployment of WebSphere MQ virtual images directly into VMware ESX.
• Simplify deployment and management to help reduce operating and maintenance costs.
• Combine and deliver WebSphere MQ, the AIX operating system and associated tools as a virtual image optimized for private clouds or expert integrated systems.
• Work with virtual machine images built using stable, tested tools to speed deployment of virtualized messaging.

Extended WebSphere MQ functions

• Add IBM WebSphere MQ Advanced Message Security to provide message-level security with authentication, enhanced authorization and data encryption.
• Complement your universal messaging backbone with IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition to provide scalable, automated file transfer and auditing.
• Use IBM WebSphere MQ Telemetry to rapidly connect devices with your universal messaging backbone.
• Add optional capabilities to the deployed virtual machine image, recapturing the image and using it as a single, provisioned image for future deployments.
