This book contains basic installation information for the MRG Messaging component of Red Hat Enterprise MRG. Red Hat Enterprise MRG is a high performance distributed computing platform consisting of three components:
Messaging — Cross platform, high performance, reliable messaging using the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) standard.
Realtime — Consistent low-latency and predictable response times for applications that require microsecond latency.
Grid — Distributed High Throughput (HTC) and High Performance Computing (HPC).
All three components of Red Hat Enterprise MRG are designed to be used as part of the platform, but can also be used separately.
MRG Messaging is an open source, high performance, reliable messaging distribution that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) standard. MRG Messaging is based on Apache Qpid, but includes persistence options, additional components, Linux kernel optimizations, and operating system services not found in the Qpid implementation. We have worked closely with companies that rely heavily on high performance messaging, and created a system to meet their real-world needs.
This guide shows you how to install MRG Messaging and start the broker, and explains the basic options available. If you want to write your own applications for use with MRG Messaging, you should also look at the MRG Messaging Tutorial.
