Red Hat AMQ consists of AMQ Broker, AMQ Interconnect, and AMQ Clients. They work together to enable network communication in distributed applications.

2.1. AMQ Broker

AMQ Broker is a full-featured, message-oriented middleware broker. It offers advanced addressing and queueing, fast message persistence, and high availability. AMQ Broker supports multiple protocols and operating environments, enabling you to use your existing assets. AMQ Broker supports integration with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

For more information, see Getting Started with AMQ Broker.

2.2. AMQ Interconnect

AMQ Interconnect provides flexible routing of messages between AMQP-enabled endpoints, including clients, brokers, and standalone services. With a single connection into a network of AMQ Interconnect routers, a client can exchange messages with any other endpoint connected to the network.

AMQ Interconnect does not use master-slave clusters for high availability. It is typically deployed in topologies of multiple routers with redundant network paths, which it uses to provide reliable connectivity. AMQ Interconnect can distribute messaging workloads across the network and achieve new levels of scale with very low latency.

For more information, see Using the AMQ Interconnect router and Release Notes for AMQ Interconnect 2.0.

2.3. AMQ Clients

AMQ Clients is a suite of AMQP 1.0 and JMS clients, adapters, and libraries. It includes JMS 2.0 support and new, event-driven APIs to enable integration into existing applications.

For more information, see AMQ Clients Overview.
