MQSoftware Announces First End-to-End Telemetry Integration Solution With Arcom Control Systems, Supporting IBM WebSphere MQ Integrator.Business Editors & Technology Writers MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2002 Integrated Application Solution Streamlines Automatic Collection and Dissemination of Real-Time Operational Data from Remote Sources Directly into Enterprise Applications MQSoftware, Inc., a leading provider of EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) Refers to various techniques used to share data and business processes in large enterprises. When companies acquire another organization, disparate information systems have to be made to work together. and middleware messaging application solutions for IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) WebSphere(R) MQ-based messaging products, announced today that its flagship Q Pasa! middleware messaging software is now part of an integrated solution with IBM WebSphere MQ Integrator and Arcom Control Systems, a supplier of pervasive device technology. The end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. offers organizations the ability to manage data from field network-connected devices back into enterprise systems, providing greater flexibility and control over data collected from pervasive devices. "The combined solution is ideal for a wide variety of communication infrastructure applications that depend on the collection of real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. points to drive operational business decisions," said Dr. David L.

"Our Q Pasa! integration with IBM WebSphere MQ Integrator and Arcom technology adds significant value by providing users with performance and availability information from pervasive devices to back office systems all from a single administrative point of control." The telemetry telemetry Highly automated communications process by which data are collected from instruments located at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for measurement, monitoring, display, and recording. solution streamlines the process of collecting, distributing and utilizing information from centralized and remote operations, thereby vastly improving data availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider. across the enterprise. For example, data can be optimally delivered from field devices as diverse as flow meters and pressure sensors in the process control environment to batch counters and check weighers in a factory production line, directly into back-office applications. Arcom and MQSoftware will market the solution together to companies in the manufacturing, utilities and energy industries. In addition, MQSoftware is leading the knowledge transfer effort by rolling out an education program that will help companies understand how the respective technologies can be applied and implemented for their specific projects. Arcom Control Systems is a leading supplier of embedded operating systems, communications protocols and integrated systems design. Its architecture capitalizes on strength of IBM's WebSphere MQ Integration by providing real-time data collection between front-end and back-end In their most general meanings, the terms front end and back end refer to the initial and the end stages of a process flow. These terms acquire more special meanings in particular areas. IT systems, including field devices. According to according to prep. 1.

Now for the first time, organizations can have a total end-to-end solution to help them realize the full potential of business integration enhanced by the availability of information from field devices. The incorporation of all of these technologies provides a best-of-breed solution that matches the needs of today's global customer." Joint Development Drives New Protocol Arcom and IBM's development laboratories in Hursley, England developed a new lightweight TCP/IP-based protocol to deliver data directly from remote devices and data producers into the IBM WebSphere MQ Integrator message broker. The protocol is called MQIsdp, MQ Integrator SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (application) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition - (SCADA) Systems are used in industry to monitor and control plant status and provide logging facilities. SCADA systems are highly configurable, and usually interface to the plant via PLCs. ) device protocol. Following extensive industry consultation, the protocol has been carefully designed to meet the demands of a new generation of network connected field devices. "IBM is pleased to work with MQSoftware and Arcom to provide a robust and reliable mechanism to achieve true end-to-end business integration, including remote telemetry devices with our new protocol, MQIsdp into the WebSphere MQ Integrator message broker " said Jeff Henry, Director, IBM WebSphere Solutions Marketing.
