Overview

IBM WebSphere® MQ is the leader in enterprise messaging, offering reliable, once and once only delivery between the broadest range of platforms in the industry. And WebSphere MQ Integrator® is the leading message broker, offering in-flight routing, transformation, logging, and enrichment of messages.

The new IBM WebSphere Business Integration brokers introduce WebSphere MQ family protocols targeted at very high performance, real time, Internet and intranet communications, Web services, mobile and wireless devices. Combined with the power to distribute brokers across a network under central control, you can now build a reliable, high-performance, on demand enterprise integration bus to connect all your key resources.

IBM WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker - IBM WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker (the follow-on product to WebSphere MQ Event Broker) allows you to rapidly build a flexible, extensible, secure infrastructure leveraging existing and new, packaged, and homegrown applications and devices across heterogeneous platforms. It extends the market-leading WebSphere MQ messaging transport with other protocols, including real-time Internet and intranet and multicast endpoints. Event Broker provides a flexible entry point into integration brokers allowing you to start simple and grow, leveraging and exploiting existing investments in skills and other assets.

IBM WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker - Built on the Event Broker, IBM WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker (the follow-on product to WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker) transforms and enriches in-flight information to provide a further level of intermediation between applications that use different message structures and formats. In addition, the Message Broker can be integrated with a database to perform message logging, data merge, and database update functions. If you are considering Web Services architectures and solutions, the broker can assist you with integration of non-Web Services applications, the routing and transformation of SOAP messages, and the logging of Web services transactions. An improvement on point-to-point Web services implementations that can lead to complex application interdependencies, the brokers help to improve control, simplify application development, lower maintenance costs, and increase flexibility.

IBM WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension - This IBM WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker product includes the IBM Rules and Formatter previously offered with WebSphere MQ Integrator for z/OS® V2.1. The WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension for z/OS V5.0 builds on the Message Broker and offers continuity, compatibility, and investment protection for existing customers who require the IBM Rules and Formatter.
