IBM MQ remains the gold standard for robust messaging, and it continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern hybrid cloud platforms. One of the most rapidly changing areas is high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR).
IBM MQ messaging networks can be deployed on a large variety of platforms and offers multiple mechanisms for availability, each suited to specific platform challenges. Increasingly, these optimize for reduced dependencies, greater alignment with cloud native approaches, and native support for modern platforms such as Kubernetes.
In this session we will provide a framework for evaluating the right HA/DR options for new environments and discuss the potential benefits of upgrading existing installations.
We will compare and contrast, in detail, the following options:
- Self-managed HA/DR
- Multi-instance queue managers
- Replicated data queue managers
- Native HA with cross-region replication
- Additional availability from MQ clustering techniques.
- We will also take a look into IBM MQ’s vision and future plans in this area
Join our host Tom McCuch of meshIQ and Kim Clark, Integration Architect, Product Management at IBM for their in-depth discussion on this topic. By the end of this webinar, you won’t just understand MQ’s HA/DR options; you’ll have a strategic framework for modernizing your messaging infrastructure, ensuring it’s a powerful enabler—not a barrier—to your hybrid cloud success.
