High Availability White Papers

Understanding High Availability With WebSphere MQ

Overview This whitepaper addresses the most fundamental concept of resilience computing, High Availability (HA). That is, "An application environment is highly available if it possesses the ability to recover automatically within a prescribed minimal outage window". Therefore, an IT infrastructure that recovers from a software or hardware failure, and continues to process existing and new requests, is highly available.
