We're exploring using qpid as the messaging solution for our network. Currently it consists of a handful of regional datacentres running propriety server applications on Linux. We've implemented a variety of adhoc solutions to support communication between these servers. Eg. SSH, passing data through databases, even via FTPed files.
Obviously a proper messaging solution would be ideal both in terms of security and functionality. Because of the distributed nature of our network we require the ability to place redundant "brokers" in each regional data center to form a distributed, fault tolerant, messaging bus. As I understand it from the dev mailing list, the brokers currently do not have this feature completely implemented, could someone confirm that for me? Nolan
