MQSeries queue manager clusters
You can connect MQSeries queue managers to form a cluster. Within a
cluster, queue managers can make the queues they host available to
every other queue manager. Any queue manager can send a message
to any other queue manager in the same cluster without the need for
explicit channel definitions, remote queue definitions, or transmission
queues for each destination. The main benefits of MQSeries clusters
are:
v Fewer system administration tasks
v Increased availability
v Workload balancing
Clusters are supported by all MQSeries Version 5.1 products, and also
by MQSeries for OS/390

, Version 2.1.
