Abstract
LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (July 7, 2009) - WinterGreen Research announces that
it has a new study on Worldwide Mission Critical Middleware Messaging. The
2009 study has 596 pages, 180 Tables and Figures. Worldwide mission critical
middleware messaging is poised to achieve significant growth as this software
is used to achieve transport of information between applications. The markets
start to expand to provide productivity improvements for Internet transactions.
IBM WebSphereMQ is the defacto message transport standard. WebSphereMQ becomes
a significant aspect of SOA because it is so good at managing decoupled
messages. WebSphere MQ is at the center of the IBM middleware offerings
because it provides the structure for the bus. SOA depends on web services
message transport. SOA is an API with data going into and out of a particular
reusable code component. This implies the existence of reliable message
transport.
WebSphereMQ is the base for SOA, outperforming the competition from the moment
it was developed. WebSphereMQ is installed worldwide, and the MQ nodes are the
launch points for SOA because they provide access to APIs. MQ works as
advertised, the maintenance fees are not very high, and IBM keeps leveraging
the large installed base to develop new functionality, spreading the costs of
code improvements across the entire product installed base.
IBM continues to have an entrenched middleware market position secured by a
product that does what it says it does and is affordable at every level of the
enterprise. The ability to create more functionality supported by a large
customer base has provided competitive advantage to IBM.
Mission critical messaging represents a major aspect of IT as it moves away
from a stack and into an SOA ESB services computing environment that relies on
transport. The value of mission critical messaging for SOA is that it
leverages a services bus ESB computing environment. The ESB relies on message
transport to move information.
Decoupled message transport is a significant aspect of SOA and the base for
all modern IT. WebSphere MQ illustrates the value of mission critical
messaging as it is used quadrillions of times per day worldwide to transport
messages between applications. MQ messaging is used as wrappers for other
HTTPS, JMS, and SOAP application messaging. Business process management BPM is
supporting enterprise response to business change by leveraging services
oriented architecture (SOA).
Messaging is the fundamental aspect of flexible business process
implementation because it is dealing with decoupled components that can be
rearranged as needed to form new process. Worldwide backbone connectivity
messaging services market forecast analysis indicates that markets are
characterized by a lot of variety. Many different message types exist, but not
all are equal.
The mission critical messaging markets are a subset of mission critical
connectivity markets that include database messaging, SOAP, JMS, and SCADA.
Markets are anticipated to continue to be strong because messaging is such a
fundamental part of networking.
Mission critical messaging robust functionality protects transactions as
systems go down, servers are not available, and routers divert information to
obscure locations. Containers continue to be a defacto industry standard,
serving to provide wrappers to SOA SOAP, JMS, SCADA, and HTTPS messages.
Worldwide mission critical messaging license and maintenance market forecasts
are based on the assumption growth that comes from use of networks. Networks
are able to transport information. Steady growth of mission critical messaging
is anticipated as the Internet emerges as a distribution, supply chain and
retail channel par excellence and decoupled messages need to be delivered with
accuracy.
Network computing does not just stay within the core enterprise; it is a way
to move information between partners, colleagues, distributors, and branch
offices. With Web services, Java message services, SOAP, .Net, and a range of
competing messaging systems, SOA has achieved significant growth leveraging
information transport between applications. Competitive challenges in
messaging markets relate to SOA.
According to Susan Eustis lead author of the study, “Message delivery
that occurs once and only once is efficient. Modules communicate information.
Reliability is a central aspect of services oriented architecture because
transport is a central part of APIs. SOA leverages the decoupled ESB message
structure.” SOA uses decoupled messages to create logic that is flexible
and supports recombination of components to create applications that are
responsive to changing market conditions. SOA process components support
enterprise change. Software forms the basis of change. Messaging is the
fundamental aspect of flexible business process implementation because it is
dealing with decoupled components that can be rearranged as needed to form new
process.

Worldwide mission critical messaging markets at $913 million in 2008 are
anticipated to reach $2.8 billion in 2015, indicating growth based on
implementation of SOA. SOA process components support enterprise change.
Software forms the basis of change.
Research Methodology
WinterGreen Research authors use a structured, consistent, and detailed
research approach. The methodology supports an analytical approach to market
research. In depth comparisons are made of many aspects of the market. Data
relating to Industry segments is developed to permit presentation of forecasts
and market share positioned to have substantive value.
Research has been automated using automation of interactive surveys that
implement delta trend analysis and instant messaging in combination with
e-mail. Automation is made possible because of a proprietary engine that
implements multilayered cell based analysis. Modular systems support dynamic
computing that use a graphical configuration engine to reach more people in a
research modality.
Full spectrum research and information services, including market reports,
customized research, and customer interviewing are available, reports and
research are positioned to provide strategic value to industry participants,
strategic planners, and product managers.
New systems combine sales tools and independent industry analysis, seeking to
leverage the expertise of the sales force and combine it with the skepticism
of the analysts to provide accurate return on investment analysis.
