MQSeriesRuntime
Server You can use the server to run queue managers on your system and connect to other systems over a network. Provides messaging and queuing services to applications, and support for IBM WebSphere MQ client connections. X   X

MQSeriesServer
Standard Client The IBM WebSphere MQ MQI client is a small subset of IBM WebSphere MQ, without a queue manager, that uses the queue manager and queues on other (server) systems. It can be used only when the system it is on is connected to another system that is running a full server version of IBM WebSphere MQ. The client and the server can be on the same system if required.

MQSeriesClient
SDK The SDK is required for compiling applications. It includes sample source files, and the bindings (files .H, .LIB, .DLL, and others), that you need to develop applications to run on IBM WebSphere MQ. X X X

MQSeriesSDK
Sample programs The sample application programs are needed if you want to check your IBM WebSphere MQ installation using the verification procedures. X X X

MQ Telemetry MQ Telemetry supports the connection of Internet Of Things (IOT) devices (that is, remote sensors, actuators and telemetry devices) that use the MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. The MQ Telemetry component comprises:
  • The telemetry (MQXR) service. It enables a queue manager to act as an MQTT server, and communicate with MQTT client apps.
  • A set of MQTT client libraries. These libraries help you write the MQTT client apps that IOT devices use to communicate with MQTT servers.

MQ Telemetry is only available on Linux for System x (64 bit) and Linux for System z.

The most up-to-date version of the MQTT client libraries is available in the free download Mobile Messaging and M2M Client Pack.

Advanced Message Security Provides a high level of protection for sensitive data flowing through the IBM WebSphere MQ network, while not impacting the end applications. You must install this component on all IBM WebSphere MQ installations that host queues you want to protect.

You must install the IBM Global Security Kit component on any IBM WebSphere MQ installation that is used by a program that puts or gets messages to or from a protected queue, unless you are using only Java client connections.
