ActiveMQ Backed by Major Banks

Filed under: Engineering

As this article by EWeek indicates major banks (JP Morgan Chase is the one mentioned here) a collaborate to develop an open source message-oriented-middleware. This es especially interesting as the open-source platform is based on the ActiveMQ wire-protocol, which is going to be called AMQ and is to be submitted as an RFC (read this comment by James Strachan).

Apart from the general open-source considerations (liberate from vendors, etc.) main reasons for this seem to get better support for C/C++ environments and high-performance goals by getting operating system level support for OSes like RedHat, SuSE and Solaris (!).

It seems that ActiveMQ is going to make it. Go, James, go!
