Enterprise Messaging Infrastructure Is Critical to Business Operations

The importance of enterprise messaging to operational productivity cannot be overstated. As the world become more interconnected and the marketplace relies more and more on electronic transactions, enterprises must ensure that all the distributed applications within the organization can communicate with each other as well as with those of partners and customers outside the firewall. Messaging systems ensure that communication and transactions happen accurately and reliably, thereby facilitating fast responses to requests for payments, status checks, quotes and more. Superior enterprise messaging allows organizations to provide continuous communication even during scheduled downtime, and prevents loss of data during a system crash. For organizations that require a leading solution, Progress Software provides the answer.

Below you will find our collection of whitepapers, archived webinars, and other resources that will help you learn more about enterprise messaging and Progress SonicMQ.

Collect, Store and Distribute Data Using Progress SonicMQ

To ensure continuous availability of more than 100 technical systems, CERN created the Technical Infrastructure Monitoring system, with two Progress® SonicMQ® brokers forming its backbone. The asynchronous messaging system facilitates CERN's ability to collect, evaluate, store, and distribute data from approximately 25,000 individual measuring points, which combine to generate more than 1.3 million data points per day.

Title	Description
High Availability Embedded Messaging for ISV's (pdf)	For most packaged applications and hardware systems, failure is not an option. Lost messages, service delays, and incomplete transactions lead to high support costs, financial penalties for missed SLAs, and possible legal action by your end users or partners. Download this whitepaper and learn how you can increase the performance, reliability and availability of your application or device.
Continuous Availability for Enterprise Messaging (pdf)	Companies seek to maximize their business processing uptime through the implementation of high availability solutions, leading to increased revenue and profitability. This paper discusses the current state and associated issues of enterprise messaging fault-tolerance approaches, and describes how the Sonic Continuous Availability Architecture™ not only improves operational availability but decreases the associated development costs and administration complexities.
Benchmarking Enterprise Messaging Systems (pdf)	Knowing how a distributed messaging infrastructure performs under heavy load is a key factor in planning a development and deployment strategy. This paper discusses how to plan and conduct a comprehensive benchmark with any Java Message Service (JMS) implementation.
A Messaging Primer - How Messaging Solves Today's Business Problems (pdf)	Businesses are constantly searching for ways to improve efficiency and, therefore, their bottom line. This paper outlines business problems being solved with messaging, and discusses the various types of messaging implementations.

Extreme Transaction Processing: Electronic trading at NYMEX

How did NYMEX drive 10x growth in their enterprise messaging throughput? They deployed a SonicMQ enterprise messaging infrastructure. With future growth threatened by the limitations of their existing messaging infrastructure, it was time to trade up. Listen as Mark Francetic, Vice President of Software Development at NYMEX, explains how they used SonicMQ to increase messaging capacity ten-fold - with zero message loss and high availability.

Six Critical Factors When Embedding a Messaging System

For most packaged applications and hardware systems, failure is not an option. Lost messages, service delays, and incomplete transactions lead to high support costs, SLA fees and possible legal action by your end users. Meet your customers demanding requirements by embedding the most robust and resilient standards-based enterprise messaging system.
