Learn how the micro-integration bridges data between Solace and IBM MQ so you can integrate IBM MQ application data with your event mesh.
Why is Solace’s platform the ideal IBM MQ alternative?
Solace’s platform is an enterprise-grade event-driven integration and streaming platform that makes it easy to integrate anything, anywhere, through the power of event-driven architecture.
- Cloud-friendly and supports hybrid- and multi-cloud
- Simple, super-fast HA/DR failover
- Easy to maintain and upgrade
- Meets real-time needs of modern use cases
Smooth Migration to the Cloud
Solace’s platform runs in public and private cloud environments, is available as a cloud service, and our event brokers can be linked to form an event mesh that integrates applications across cloud, on-premises and IoT environments. Adopting MQ’s cloud offering is pretty much like migrating to a new broker, so if you’re looking to embrace the cloud you might as well switch to a cloud-friendly solution that offers other benefits.

Faster Recovery with Active/Active DR
Solace’s platform continuously replicates the contents and state of individual messages, so even with large backup spools your standby brokers can immediately resume delivery as soon as they come online. We’ve helped customers reduce failover times from over an hour to under a minute, and cut RPO/RTO goals from minutes to mere seconds.

Smaller Estate, Simpler Management
MQ requires a lot of server and software resources, and upgrading it entails touching and testing not just queue managers but supporting services like client libraries, storage, and more. Solace’s platform can handle tons of throughput in a compact footprint, and is easy to upgrade, even supporting in-service upgrades. Customers have saved millions of dollars a year on server costs and simplified upgrades alone.

Modernize Beyond Queues
The advent of cloud, IoT and AI has made it necessary to complement message queuing with publish/subscribe communications and event-driven integration. In addition to message queueing, Solace supports publish/subscribe, request/reply, and streaming, the creation of event meshes that dynamically route data anywhere it’s needed, and features like caching, replay, and distributed tracing.

Join the many companies moving on from MQ
Airtel
Airtel’s most serious issue with IBM MQ was burst-handling for their prepaid recharge. MQ could not handle the 20,000 messages a second worth of prepaid recharge flows, so they were handled via files in batches that caused a slow, error-prone customer experience. .
They migrated their prepaid recharge flows to Solace so pre-paid recharge requests could flow in real-time. Solace handles bursts by buffering messages so they can be delivered ASAP without ever putting back-pressure on publishing applications, so now 97.5% of recharges are completed in less than 5 seconds.
“With Solace now passing recharge information to the benefit posting system, 97% of our customers receive their customized additional minutes or data within seconds.”
Standard Chartered
Like many companies, Standard Chartered used MQ as its core messaging backbone for decades. They wanted to move toward a simpler, homogenous event-driven core communication fabric, and selected Solace.
Their mainframe payment application is connected to an event mesh powered bySolace, which gives them end-to-end DevOps, including monitoring and tracking across an event mesh.
“After an extensive review of available technologies, we realized that Solace met or exceeded our needs today and into the future.”
