AME 4169 -Understanding MQ Deployment choices and use casesLeif Davidsen Senior Product ManagerIBM Messaging@LeifDavidsen

The need for connectivity is growing

Connectivity in business infrastructure is increasing • More information, more

systems, more services, deployed anywhere

Connect systems together• Deliver timely updates of

targeted data

• Gain business insight

• Applications and data become

valuable assets, not growing

costs

New sources of data are

changing the world• However data without

connectivity becomes a

burden not an asset

1 AME 4169 - @LeifDavidsen

Moving data – where does it need to go?

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

– Storing the data in a database or file

A messaging infrastructure can meet both needs• Keeps the application simple and able to adapt to change

• Deliver filtered information to consuming applications

• Deliver to a permanent information store


Messaging continues to be essential…

• Failures still happen - application and network – cloud and mobile especially

• Don’t try to handle these failures in your business application logic

• Moves any type of data and any type of system, device or environment, with a common shared API

• Configurable: Persistence, Performance, Management, Security, etc.

Here is why messaging is important…

“business transactions must happen only

once”

“adding new services or applications is unpredictable”

“change is relentless”

“need to adopt new industry standards”

“business insight is key in today’s market”

“consumer interaction is forcing us to respond faster”

“we need to become more event driven”

“we need to recover from IT failures

better”

“our applications are getting too complex”

“must become more agile”

“losing data costs time money and reputation”

So what is IBM MQ?

• Simplifies applications, no need for complex connectivity logic or error handling

• Scales from single application deployments to billions of messages per day

• Connects from the mainframe to the mobile and the Internet of Things, moving data from applications, files and services

• Most widely deployed enterprise messaging solution with the largest ecosystem and set of skilled practitioners

• A secure messaging environment,

with your customer and business

data encrypted end to end

• Built-in High Availability with

automated failover

• A single point of visibility and

control for the data flowing

through your business

• Reliable, robust movement of data

with transactional integrity

Messaging you need Messaging as you

need it

and Web services that need to exchange data

and events with:

Universally supported by multiple platforms & 20 years leading

in transactional message delivery

• Inherent reliable delivery and transaction control

• Native, high-speed handling of any type of message or file

• Native lightweight capabilities for supporting remote devices & sensors

• End-to-end advanced security

• Single point of control, visibility, and management for all data movement

Why choose to deploy IBM MQ

• The most widely chosen and deployed enterprise messaging solution

• Deploy on any platform

• Meets immediate need for messaging

• Works to connect with any existing, or future MQ application

• IBM MQ licenses can be deployed flexibly

• Cloud

• On-premise

• Virtual machines etc.

• Additional MQ functions can always be added later, including upgrading to MQ Advanced


Integrated MQ deployment

1010

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?

MQ MFT Service AMS Telemetry

IBM MQ Advanced


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

IBM MQ has many built in security features:


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.

Ideal to connect devices within the

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.

IBM Sterling Control Center is included to provide

additional monitoring of file transfers

Deploying MQ in the clouds/virtual machines

• MQ licenses can be used to deploy MQ in various public clouds using a BYOSL model – uses existing PVU licenses mapped to hosted VM size

• Deploy on IBM SoftLayer

• Deploy on Microsoft Azure

• Deploy on Amazon EC2

• MQ in a ‘hybrid cloud’ deployed on premise on Virtual Machines

• Very common deployment model

– Uses existing PVU licensing matched to VM size

• Deployed as repeatable patterns for Development, Test and Production

• Docker images now available for MQ and MQ Light

– Images available on DockerHub February 2015

• MQ Advanced for Developers on Docker currently only a Tech Preview – we want your feedback


Why deploy ‘patterns’ in Clouds/VMs?

• Provides messaging as repeatable infrastructure

independent of the specific deployment choice

• Massive growth in Virtual Machine configurations and

deployments

• Now move to Containers/Docker

• Existing licensing model paired with BYOSL deployments

makes it easy for today’s on premise models to shift

• Messaging available as a Service on Bluemix with MQ Light

• The deployment of MQ remains flexible and configurable

• Building and deploying images or patterns reduces

variability and associated errors
