Architecture design

High-throughput, low-latency messaging architectures for IBM MQ, Kafka and hybrid environments — designed for the workloads you can’t afford to lose.

Overview

We design messaging architectures across z/OS, IBM i, Linux, Windows, AIX and AWS that hold up under real production load. Every design starts from your message volumes, latency targets, recovery objectives and the applications that depend on them.

The result is a documented, future-ready foundation: topology, naming standards, channel and cluster design, security model and capacity plan, ready for your teams to build and run.

What’s included

Current-state review of queue managers, channels, clusters and application flows
Target topology across mainframe, midrange, distributed and cloud
Message flow, routing and naming standards
Capacity and throughput planning, including log and page set or file system sizing
Resilience design aligned to your RTO and RPO
Security model covering TLS, channel authentication and authorisation

How we work

DiscoverWorkshops and a review of your current estate, workloads and constraints.
