MQ Series Insights

What is MQ Series?

IBM MQ (formerly MQSeries) is a family of message queue products that IBM launched in 1992. It's a message-oriented middleware, facilitating the exchange of information among applications, systems, services, and files by sending and receiving data as messages. MQ helps decouple applications, improving reliability and scalability, and is commonly used in enterprise application integration (EAI) scenarios, financial transactions, and supply chain management.
