Get a clearer view of IBM MQ. Monitor queues and channels, tailor alerts, and give teams secure access with agentless Infrared360.

Travel and transportation is an extreme example of what happens when IBM MQ has to operate at scale—but the challenge applies to MQ teams in any industry. As environments grow across applications, queue managers, locations, and teams, visibility, troubleshooting, access control, and repeatable operations all become harder. See what MQ teams should consider as their operating model grows.

REST APIs can make MQ operations faster and easier to automate. That speed also increases the importance of access control. Before an API workflow runs, teams need to know: Who is behind the request? Which MQ resources can they see? What actions are they authorized to perform? Can the activity be traced and audited? Our latest article examines MQ REST API security and how Infrared360 helps keep API-driven operations within defined role, application, and team boundaries. Because one over-permissioned script can repeat the same mistake across an MQ estate in seconds. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eXAXze3V

MQ already moves high-value business data across enterprise systems. That makes it worth looking at as organizations explore AI and retrieval-augmented generation. In our new 6-part series, Using IBM MQ as a Reliable Ingestion Layer for AI and RAG, we look at where MQ fits in a RAG architecture, how it can support reliable ingestion, and why visibility across the full pipeline becomes so important once MQ starts feeding downstream AI systems. Read Part 1 to see how MQ can help create a more reliable path from business data to AI use: https://lnkd.in/ewGi7daw

For years, scripts were the go-to fix for MQ automation. But now they’re slowing teams down, are fragile, hard to maintain, and risky in modern environments. Our new article explores how intelligent automation replaces static scripts with adaptive, policy-based workflows that prevent issues before they happen. If you’re ready to move from reactive scripting to smarter MQ operations, this one’s for you. Read the article: https://hubs.la/Q03V662r0
