I am a fan of AMQ. However, I am not sure that the performance of AMQ is good enough yet for some production systems. So I tend to use AMQ during development and a proprietary offering for production. This also helps deal with the fear that some mgmt have over using open source software (deep sigh).
Since you are in the real time domain I suggest you look at TibcoEMS. This is used in high performance financial applications where sub-second trading is crtitical. Since TibcoEMS is proprietary there will be license fees. You get what you pay for. In the meantime, develop using AMQ by all means, it is very good and performs quite well. $0.02. Regards, Andrew Marlow Internet petri.riipi...@insta.fi 27/10/2010 11:57 Please respond to users@activemq.apache.org To users@activemq.apache.org cc Subject Opinions about using AMQ in virtual distributed simulations I'd like to ask your opinion whether ActiveMQ is a good fit for my needs. (I'm quite newbie when it comes to JMS/ActiveMQ, just have been reading about them for the past few days...). So, I'm working on a distributed near-realtime simulator system where I have several simulator components managing and producing simulated entities to a distributed virtual simulated world and several applications that are used to manage and monitor the entities in the simulated world. [snip] So, my gut feeling is that JMS/ActiveMQ could very likely be a good fit for my needs, but I'd like to hear opinions from more experienced folks. Are there any obvious caveats that might cause grief? -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Opinions-about-using-AMQ-in-virtual-distributed-simulations-tp3015223p3015223.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___________________________________________________________ This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
