AMQP is the Internet Protocol for Business Messaging

The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an open standard for passing business messages between applications or organizations.  It connects systems, feeds business processes with the information they need and reliably transmits onward the instructions that achieve their goals. 

Key Capabilities

AMQP connects across:

  • Organizations – applications in different organizations
  • Technologies – applications on different platforms
  • Time – systems don’t need to be available simultaneously
  • Space – reliably operate at a distance, or over poor networks

Business Case

The main reasons an enterprise will chose AMQP over proprietary alternatives are:

  • Realize the savings commoditization brings; remove vendor lock-in
  • Connect applications on different platforms; choose the right platform for the job
  • Connect to business partners using a full featured open standard; remove technical barriers to trade
  • Position for innovations built upon the foundation of AMQP

Key Features

AMQP was designed with the following main characteristics as goals:

  • Security
  • Reliability
  • Interoperability
  • Standard
  • Open

Bottom Line

The capable, commoditized, multi-vendor communications ecosystem which AMQP enables creates opportunities for commerce and innovation which can transform the way business is done on the Internet, and in the Cloud.

AMQP is designed to solve real problems, completely.
