Using WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition with VMware for Linux on x86-64

Providing your chosen operating system is Linux on x86-64, you can use the WebSphere® Message Broker Hypervisor Edition without the IBM® Hardware Appliances. In this stand-alone environment, you can deploy the virtual machine image on a VMware ESXi hypervisor. Using the virtual machine image without the IBM Hardware Appliances provides a way to deploy a virtual system without a full cloud environment.

WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition for VMware

The following diagram shows a basic work flow. An administrator downloads WebSphere Message Broker Hypervisor Edition on to a VMware ESXi hypervisor and configures the virtual machine image as a WebSphere Message Broker component by starting the virtual machine image and performing the required configuration on that virtual machine image.

Basic Work Flow

  • WebSphere MQ
