Message-oriented middleware was designed as a bulletproof data- adn command-exchange layer between otherwise incompatible transaction-oriented applications. Freedom OSS is delivering it to the cloud as cloudMQ, a Message Queuing as a Service (MAAS) solution. CloudMQ is a simple way to start exploring integration of messaging into applications because no installation or configuration is necessary. CloudMQ uses Amazon Web Services' Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3) storage to create an Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) messaging backbone.With
cloud computing driving the need for queuing and Enterprise Service Bus
(ESB) style services in the cloud, Freedom OSS has introduced cloudMQ,
which the company refers to as a Message Queuing as a Service (MAAS)
solution.
According to Joel Davne, CEO of Freedom OSS, cloudMQ is a simple way
to start exploring integration of messaging into applications because
no installation or configuration is necessary. Indeed, cloudMQ provides
cross-platform integration for the enterprise, on-demand, real-time
business-to-business information exchange, real-time business
intelligence, and complex event processing, the company said.
Moreover, cloudMQ has the capacity to hold a virtually unlimited
number of messages and support thousands of clients, Freedom OSS
officials said. And unlike Amazon’s Simple Queue Service (SQS), cloudMQ
provides all of the enterprise messaging features such as message order
preservation, single-phase and two-phase transactions and unlimited
message sizes, the company said.
However, cloudMQ uses Amazon Web Services' Elastic Compute Cloud
(EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3) storage to create an Advanced
Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) messaging backbone that spans into
thousands of messaging instances, Freedom OSS said.
