Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and SonicMQ. I'm currently evaluation SonicMQ and was wondering if I could get some feedback on the product from the folks actually using it. Anything you can provide along the lines of:
- performance numbers (eg. # of messages/day)
- how long in production
- type of hardware/servers used to run ActiveMQ
- how often you take a release/upgrade
- issues you are having or have had
I like what I see so far from playing around with the product. But will need to have some more info before making a purchase.

It's a solid product.
In one of my customers, here are the stats:
Usage: >10,000 msgs per day
How long in production: Since 2001
Downtime: Never, except for scheduled hardware maintenance
Hardware/OS: Used to be Windows 2000 on a desktop PC with 1 CPU, 256MB RAM. Now running on Windows 2003 Server virtualize inside MAC OS10.4 with 1 CPU assigned, 256MB RAM. Windows run better when running virtual inside Mac using VMWare Fusion ($78.00).
Upgrades: Every major version
Past issues: Compatibily with Adapters for 4GL, for example, the adapter for Sonic 7.6 is not included in the 64-bit HP-UX but is supported in the 64-bit HP-UX Itanium. If you will be connecting to it from Progress 4GL, check first for adapter availability.
