Enterprise Messaging Infrastructure Is Critical to Business Operations
The importance of enterprise messaging to operational productivity cannot be overstated. As the world become more interconnected and the marketplace relies more and more on electronic transactions, enterprises must ensure that all the distributed applications within the organization can communicate with each other as well as with those of partners and customers outside the firewall. Messaging systems ensure that communication and transactions happen accurately and reliably, thereby facilitating fast responses to requests for payments, status checks, quotes and more. Superior enterprise messaging allows organizations to provide continuous communication even during scheduled downtime, and prevents loss of data during a system crash. For organizations that require a leading solution, Progress Software provides the answer.
Below you will find our collection of whitepapers, archived webinars, and other resources that will help you learn more about enterprise messaging and Progress SonicMQ.

Whitepapers
Title | Description |
For most packaged applications and hardware systems, failure is not an option. Lost messages, service delays, and incomplete transactions lead to high support costs, financial penalties for missed SLAs, and possible legal action by your end users or partners. Download this whitepaper and learn how you can increase the performance, reliability and availability of your application or device. | |
Companies seek to maximize their business processing uptime through the implementation of high availability solutions, leading to increased revenue and profitability. This paper discusses the current state and associated issues of enterprise messaging fault-tolerance approaches, and describes how the Sonic Continuous Availability Architecture™ not only improves operational availability but decreases the associated development costs and administration complexities. |

Massive Scalability (pdf) | OSS developers have moved away from monolithic, telecommunications specific architectures and embraced off-the-shelf multi-tier architectures and distributed-object middleware. Initiatives such as the OSS through Java™ Initiative (OSS/J) promote the adoption of a component-based approach to developing OSS solutions. This paper demonstrates OSS/J deployment strategies and patterns that accommodate performance or scalability shortfalls. |
The need to create and extend computing infrastructures across and between distributed enterprises is increasingly becoming a competitive necessity. Find out how Sonic's clustering and Dynamic Routing Architecture (DRA) capabilities meet the needs of enterprise-scale, distributed message-based systems. |

A Messaging Primer - How Messaging Solves Today's Business Problems (pdf) | Businesses are constantly searching for ways to improve efficiency and, therefore, their bottom line. This paper outlines business problems being solved with messaging, and discusses the various types of messaging implementations. |
Security in SonicMQ® (pdf) | Security is a key concern for system architects who are grappling with the challenge of making their integration solutions secure yet also performant and convenient. This paper discusses authentication, authorization and encryption support in SonicMQ and reviews various deployment scenarios. |
Collaboration has become a catchphrase in the way business is conducted today. Find out how SonicMQ can be integrated with application servers to provide a robust mechanism for exchanging information among participating applications. |
|
Using JNDI with SonicMQ® (pdf) | JNDI and SonicMQ are both valuable technologies in the creation of highly distributed solutions to key business processes. This paper reviews how to integrate JNDI in your Sonic applications. |
Internet-based software requires a reliable, fast, and scalable communication between newly developed and legacy applications and data sources. This paper provides a general overview of messaging and its use in Progress-based applications. |

Progress SonicMQ - The Industry-Leading Enterprise Messaging Solution
Progress Software delivers one of the industry's highest performing enterprise messaging solutions in Progress® SonicMQ®. This standards-based enterprise messaging system supports complex networking environments by offering unmatched service availability, superior scalability and comprehensive management capabilities. SonicMQ is built on an exclusive Continuous Availability Architecture™ (CAA), which is designed to ensure system uptime and eliminate the need for costly RAID, OS clustering software or third-party HA frameworks. Progress Software's unique solution ensures that all in-process transactions – no matter how complex – will reach their intended destination. SonicMQ makes it simple to extend the messaging backbone to remote offices and business partners, and lowers the total cost of ownership for mission-critical messaging across the enterprise. SonicMQ's delivery system ensures that messages are never lost because of hardware failure, software issues or system crashes. For this reason, SonicMQ is the solution of choice for organizations in many industry applications.
Progress SonicMQ allows the organization to:
- Ensure uptime with an exclusive architecture that provides high availability in the messaging layer.
- Scale flexibly using SonicMQ's Dynamic Routing Architecture® and advanced clustering technologies.
- Simplify operations with an advanced distributed management and deployment infrastructure.
- Reduce TCO by automating business functions that usually necessitate costly involvement by skilled employees.
- Protect messages and systems through superior authentication, authorization and encryption support.
- Minimize latency by combining the performance of non-persistent messaging with the reliability and availability of the SonicMQ architecture.
- Manage operations in real-time.
