What IBM MQ expertise does AceMQ provide?

We provide full-lifecycle IBM MQ consulting including queue manager architecture, RDQM multi-instance configuration, Uniform Cluster design, security hardening (FIPS, TLS, channel authentication), performance tuning, version upgrades, and 24/7 managed support.

Do you support IBM MQ in regulated industries like banking and insurance?

Yes. Our IBM MQ engineers have deep experience designing and operating queue managers in regulated environments — including FIPS 140-2 compliance, audit logging, TLS 1.3 enforcement, and channel authentication records aligned with financial services security requirements.

Can you help migrate from IBM MQ to RabbitMQ or Kafka?

Yes. We plan and execute migrations from IBM MQ to RabbitMQ (AMQP/JMS mapping) and Kafka (JMS consumer to Kafka client), using parallel-run strategies that preserve message ordering and durability guarantees.

What is your IBM MQ support response time?

Our IBM MQ support SLA is 15 minutes for emergency incidents. You reach a senior IBM MQ engineer directly — not a help desk — who can diagnose queue manager issues, channel failures, and store corruption in real time.

Do you support IBM MQ on Kubernetes and OpenShift?

Yes. We deploy IBM MQ using the IBM MQ Operator on OpenShift and Kubernetes, including persistent volume configuration, native HA setup, and integration with IBM Cloud Pak for Integration.
