High-availability and advanced builds

MQ Clustering, Queue Sharing Groups, multi-instance queue managers and RDQM — designed, built and supported for continuous operations.

Overview

The right high-availability model depends on your platform, your recovery objectives and how your applications connect. We design, build and support complex HA environments so your messaging layer stays fault-tolerant.

We cover the full range: MQ Clustering for workload balancing, Queue Sharing Groups with Coupling Facility structures on z/OS, multi-instance queue managers on shared storage, and Replicated Data Queue Managers (RDQM) for Linux HA and DR.

What’s included

  • HA model selection based on RTO, RPO and application behaviour
  • MQ Cluster design: full repositories, workload balancing, overlapping clusters
  • QSG design: CF structures, shared queues, shared channels, Db2 setup
  • Multi-instance queue managers with shared file system validation
  • RDQM HA and DR group builds on Linux
  • Failover testing and DR rehearsal

How we work

  1. AssessReview recovery objectives, applications and infrastructure.
  2. DesignChoose and design the HA model for each platform.
  3. BuildImplement and configure the environment.
  4. ProveTest failover and recovery, then document the runbooks.

What you get

  • HA design document
  • Built and tested HA environment
  • Failover and recovery runbooks
  • Test results from failover and DR exercises

Platforms

z/OS, IBM i (AS400), Linux, Windows, AIX and AWS, with IBM MQ, Kafka and hybrid messaging.
