Red Hat Unveils JBoss AMQ 7
Reactive architecture provides improved broker responsiveness and
scalability coupled with a new router component that enables hybrid
cloud messaging
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today introduced Red
Hat JBoss AMQ 7. The latest release of Red Hat's messaging platform
combines the performance and efficiency of reactive programming with a
more flexible architecture, giving customers a strong foundation for
building distributed, reactive message-driven applications.
Based on the upstream Apache
ActiveMQ and Apache
Qpid community projects, JBoss AMQ is a lightweight, standards-based
open source messaging platform designed to enable real-time
communication between different applications, services, devices, and the
Internet of Things (IoT). It also serves as the messaging foundation for Red
Hat JBoss Fuse, Red Hat’s lightweight, flexible integration
platform, and is designed to provide the real-time, distributed
messaging capabilities needed to support an agile integration approach
for modern application development.
JBoss AMQ 7 introduces technology enhancements across three core
components: the broker, clients, and interconnect router.
- Broker – The JBoss AMQ broker, based on Apache
ActiveMQ Artemis, manages connections, queues, topics, and
subscriptions. Using innovations from Artemis, the broker has an
asynchronous internal architecture, which can increase performance and
scalability and enable it to handle more concurrent connections and
achieve greater message throughput.
- Clients – JBoss AMQ 7 expands its support of popular messaging
APIs and protocols by adding new client libraries, including Java
Message Service (JMS) 2.0, JavaScript, C++, .Net, and Python. With
existing support for the popular open protocols MQTT and AMQP, JBoss
AMQ 7 now offers broad interoperability across the IT landscape that
can open up data in embedded devices to inspection, analysis, and
control.
- Interconnect – The new interconnect router in JBoss AMQ 7
enables users to create a network of messaging paths spanning
datacenters, cloud services, and geographic zones. The interconnect
component serves as the backbone for distributed messaging, providing
redundancy, traffic optimization, and more secure and reliable
connectivity.
Availability
JBoss
AMQ 7 is expected to be available for download by members of the Red
Hat Developers community this Summer. Customers will be able to get
the latest updates from the Red Hat Customer Portal.

“As customers come to expect a more responsive and
consistent experience from the companies they do business with,
technology plays a central role in enabling greater levels of
interconnection and scalability to help meet this expectation. With its
new reactive messaging architecture, JBoss AMQ is well-suited to support
the applications and infrastructure that can help deliver those
experiences.”
