Observability, AIOps, APM, and i2M: The Partner Ecosystem for IBM MQ Enterprises

By Steven Menges

Complex enterprises have an integration infrastructure (i2) layer that connects technologies and applications across cloud, data center, virtualized systems, mainframe, edge computing, etc.

  • Monitoring and fault management
  • Alerting and automation
