“The new version offers a range of significant new features and enhancements over its predecessor, the vendor says. “The latest version provides enhanced High Availability features, supports large message size and multi-part messaging, has native C# and C++ runtime client libraries and many more features By offering these excellent range of functionalities Fiorano continues to maintain its leadership position in the messaging middleware market.”

"With JMS API’s for Large Message support, businesses can deploy FioranoMQ JMS server in enterprise applications that require transfer of large messages," said Atul Saini, CEO & CTO, Fiorano Software. "FioranoMQ is the only Java Messaging Server that delivers true High-Availability combined with industry-leading throughput, performance, and stability under high-stress conditions."

"With the native C# runtime client library, FioranoMQ attempts to bridge the gap between the J2EE world and .Net world," said Sriram Chakravarthy, Director of Product Development, Fiorano Software. "The new version also enables the passive HA server to detect network failure immediately, leading to a truly High Availability system."

“Mission-critical messaging systems such as those deployed by Fiorano’s Fortune 500 customers demand high levels of reliability and data integrity, plus the ability to easily manage and configure systems at a lower cost,” Fiorano explains. “With FioranoMQ, customers can develop a comprehensive messaging strategy, and implement it incrementally. FioranoMQ provides its customers with high-performance, superior flow control, and guaranteed delivery and massive scalability thus enabling them to achieve immediate ROI for their JMS solutions even under today’s tough economic conditions.”

Major Enhancements in FioranoMQ 7.2 include, IN FIORANO’S WORDS:

--Large Message Size Support – JMS applications can now transfer large messages (or files) using JMS complaint API’s. The transfer could employ either the point-to-point model or the publish/subscribe model. JMS Extension API’s can be used to resume sessions from the point of failure.

--Native C# and C++ Client – provides a native C# client library which enables the .Net applications to exchange messages with other JMS clients (native as well as java). It also provides a native C++ runtime library that enables C++ applications to send/receive messages over JMS without installing a JVM.

--New High Availability Features – FioranoMQ HA deployment allows JMS clients to transparently switch over to secondary MQ server on failure of the primary server. The new release offers auto-reconnection of MQ server with the configured external RDBMS servers, making MQ server resilient of intermittent network or machine failures. It also provides transparent auto-revalidation of FioranoMQ administration connections and an option for auto-reconnection of JMS connections with or without client side persistence.

--Enhanced Repeater – supports wildcard (*) based topic subscription links as source of replication. It automatically updates replication links at runtime for newly created topics without reconfiguring or restarting the repeater.

--Multi-Part Message Support – JMS API’s for sending multiple JMS messages wrapped in a single JMS message over Topics and Queues.
