Envoy MQ: Windows Messaging for the Enterprise
Envoy Technologies
MSMQ and Envoy Message Queuing provide a reliable and powerful enterprise backbone for enabling Web based and front office applications to interoperate with back-end information resources.
Web-to-Enterprise Interoperability Developers tasked with delivering new web-based applications are migrating to the Windows platform for the obvious reasons: Simple, easy to use Web development tools and technologies, a wide range of technical support from Microsoft, and widely available tools accessible to a large pool of developers. But as everyone knows, this is not a Windows-only world, therefore, many times a developer may need to have to access a database or other information resource running on a non-Windows system like UNIX or VMS. This type of scenario is what Envoy Message Queuing is uniquely suited for. On the front-end or presentation tier of the multi-tier application, developers can deploy easy to implement browser-based client applications using Microsoft’s Active Server Page (ASP) technology. The Active Server Script on the Web Server calls the ActiveX MSMQ control, which provides the programming interface from the Active Server Script to MSMQ. This puts MSMQ into action by sending a message to a queue. This message can be retrieved by a UNIX, VMS, HPe3000, Tandem, MVS or AS/400 application using Envoy Message Queuing (Envoy MQ). What could have been a very difficult application to write (a web application connecting to a database server on another platform) is now relatively easy to do. In this case, a MSMQ message was sent from the Active Server Page to the UNIX database without writing any system level code – no one had to write TCP/IP code or Socket code to connect Windows and UNIX. What makes it simple is the integrated, comprehensive set of Web application technologies embedded within the Windows platform (MSMQ, ASP, COM+, IIS, etc) and the seamless integration between MSMQ and Envoy Message Queuing from Envoy Technologies.
