The old proverb of having to do more with less has never been more true than today. It is a common theme that virtually every IT shop faces. This is especially true with companies that are message enabling increasingly more applications while trying to squeeze as much data as possible over their existing networks in a real-time world. CompressMQ provides an excellent means for MQSeries users to maximise available bandwidth.
CompressMQ provides an easy-to-implement, cross-platform solution to instantly enable compression for IBM's industry leading middleware, MQSeries. The product is specifically designed to compress message-based data and increasingly popular, verbose messaging data types such as XML moved over MQSeries. CompressMQ operates at the MQSeries channel level, allowing significant in flight compression results, while simultaneously minimising CPU and resource utilisation.
CompressMQ provides multi-level compression capability with significantly more actual compression than other solutions on the market. It simplifies compression in MQSeries by providing platform appropriate implementations for OS/390, OS/400, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and Windows.
With CompressMQ in place, compression is as easy as turning a switch. An easy to use utility supplied with the product makes enabling compression on specific channels quick and error free.
The CompressMQ product also includes a development toolkit to provide compression routines to any application. This level of implementation further enhances overall compression benefits.
In SA there are two reference sites where CompressMQ is being used on a daily basis with amazing results. Both of these clients installed and implemented CompressMQ earlier this year.
Pricing for CompressMQ ranges from R5 000 on NT platforms, R6 750 on AS400 and R10 000 on Unix-based systems, dependent on the number of processors. CompressMQ is an affordable price to pay for software that will take the strain off your already busy network infrastructure.
