Wintergreen Research, Inc, Jan 2006, Pages: 413
Messages are currency. If the messages are not managed in a secure manner, it is like throwing $1000 dollar bills out the window of a skyscraper. Once and only once delivery is fundamental to evolving a secure transaction network system. As the Internet evolves as the premier business channel, it is fundamental to have secure messaging systems that do not falter ever.
IBM WebSphere handles quadrillions of transaction messages a day because it is secure. The software is transparent. It is easy to set up. WebSphereMQ is a brand that is set to last for a long time because its robust functionality that protects transactions in the context of systems going down, servers not being available, and routers diverting information to obscure locations.
IBM WebSphere MQ message nodes are positioned to replace APIs as integration connection points because they are more stable over a period of time. APIs are not stable over the long term and tend to be brittle, while MQ nodes are reliable over a long period of years, positioning those nodes as a connection point for integration systems.
Worldwide backbone connectivity messaging services market share analysis indicates that all the large outsourcing consulting companies participate in the ser vices market, but that IBM has strategic advantage in this segment because of the WebSphere brand and product functionality used by all the large enterprise IT departments worldwide.
Worldwide backbone connectivity messaging markets at $2 billion in 2005 were $1.1 billion in the first half 2006, indicating some growth in the first half. The mission critical messaging markets are a subset of backbone connectivity markets that include database messaging, SOAP, JMS, and Scada. Markets are anticipated to continue to be strong because messaging is such a fundamental part of networking.
Worldwide mission critical messaging license and maintenance market forecasts are based on the assumption of 5% growth overall. Markets at $611 million are anticipated to reach $945.5 million by 2012. Steady growth is anticipated, as the Internet emerges as a distribution, supply chain and retail channel par excellence. Network computing does not just stay within the core enterprise, it is a way to move information between partners, colleagues, distributors, and branch offices.
