From middleware to cloud messaging.

The logical evolution of message-oriented middleware.

To better understand Linxter, it is helpful to understand the evolution of traditional message-oriented middleware to cloud messaging.

Middleware

The term commonly used for a software system that sits “in the middle of” things, and is used to connect distributed components or applications. Examples include database systems, telecommunications software, transaction monitors, and messaging-and-queuing software.

Message-oriented Middleware (MOM)

A client/server infrastructure technology that enables the development of distributed applications by providing an asynchronous messaging framework which can be used for intra- and inter-application communication. Examples include IBM WebSphere MQ (MQSeries), Microsoft MSMQ, Oracle Fusion, and TIBCO Rendezvous.

Message-oriented Cloud Middleware (Cloud Messaging)

The logical evolution of traditional message-oriented middleware solutions: making the technology available as a service, reducing complexity, and eliminating the need for new infrastructure.

Cloud messaging is not simply the hosting of traditional solutions in-the-cloud. It is the re-architecting of a core, complex platform technology into an easy-to-use service. This is Linxter.
