Mission critical messaging provides cross platform, cross application support for once and only once delivery of packets of information of files across the network. It is supporting enterprise response to business change. By providing a foundation base for services oriented architecture (SOA), mission critical messaging enables the distributed, globally integrated enterprise. Decoupled message transport is a significant aspect of modernized IT. It is the base for Cloud, SOA, collaboration tools, and virtualized IT.

IBM WebSphereMQ is a defacto industry mission critical messaging standard. It is used quadrillions of times per day worldwide to transport messages between applications. IBM WebSphereMQ is used as a wrapper for other HTTPS, JMS, and SOAP application messaging. It is used to achieve FTP transport.

Mission critical messaging represents a major aspect of IT as data processing moves away from a stack and into an SOA ESB services cloud computing environment that relies on transport. The value of mission critical messaging for SOA is that it leverages a services bus ESB computing environment. Cloud computing is creating new economies of scale for virtualized IT. Data centers are moving away from siloed applications and batch processing to real time systems.

As real time systems are implemented in the cloud, what were scale out distributed server farms for each separate application is giving way to virtualized systems that run simultaneously on one platform. IBM WebSphereMQ becomes a significant aspect of virtualization because it is so good at managing decoupled messages.

An application server stack is not as flexible as the decoupled mission critical message structure. As SOA and cloud take hold, the value of the robust highly evolved defacto industry standard WebSphereMQ becomes apparent.

Open systems products and competitive products do not have the market penetration of WebSphere MQ and SOAP, JMS, MSMQ, and Sonic MQ. Vendor messaging systems are among products that are managed with IBM WebSphere MQ wrappers. Messaging systems have decoupling functions evolved for application to application message transfer. Vendors and open systems are positioned to compete effectively in the mission critical messaging market by leveraging once and only once delivery using wrapper technology.

Mature transport technologies have a strong customer base that supports and funds product enhancements. FTP transport for files is a significant addition to the IBM WebSphere MQ brand. The transport technologies SOAP and JMS among others are generally utilized as modules that are wrapped in the mature IBM WebSphereMQ transport layer to achieve mission critical functionality.

This study illustrates the mission critical middleware messaging market driving forces. It describes the principal competitive factors that impact the success of mission critical messaging solutions. Market pitfalls and market opportunities are addressed in the comprehensive market study that lays out strategy considerations in considerable detail: Markets at $8.7 billion in 2011 are anticipated to reach $26.1 billion by 2018.

Highlights

Increasingly, drug delivery specialists are harnessing endogenous BBB mechanisms such as receptormediated delivery pathways with nano-enabled platform technologies to improve the uptake and targeted delivery of substances into the brain.

Improvements in intranasal delivery devices and advances in formulation technologies have enabled researchers to deliver a wide range of substances in therapeutic doses into the olfactory regions. Medical device companies Kurve Technology, Impel NeuroPharma, and OptiNose have all developed devices that are compatible with intranasal delivery.

Chemical modification (e.g. lipidation and cationization) can be used to improve passive delivery across the blood-brain barrier but is rarely used in isolation. Permeability enhancers can be used to transiently disrupt the BBB to allow the passage of drugs into the CNS, but they have yet to be fully validated in the clinic.

Your key questions answered
  • Which delivery technologies can be considered for a drug that needs to achieve high CNS penetration?
  • What types of chemical modification have been applied and how successful have these been?
  • What role can nanotechnology play in drug delivery?
  • How well validated are the delivery technologies and which have data from human trials?
  • Are there in indications in which the problems of blood-brain barrier penetration can be justifiably circumvented by direct injection or implantation?

ReportsnReports - Social Media Market in Wealth Management

This report is a detailed study that explores the potential of Web 2.0
  • Provides insight into social media practices
  • Details the demographics of current social media users
  • Examines different platforms and methods of engaging with customers
  • The report reviews case studies of banks that have employed Web 2.0 tools and identifies the best practices that have maximised their success
The increasing number of wealthy individuals from diverse backgrounds means that traditional providers of services to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), from luxury goods companies to private banks, must adapt if they are to succeed. Today, the majority of HNWI wealth worldwide is self-made rather than inherited and private banks and wealth managers need to target a new type of client. Although inherited wealth is set to play a smaller role, the transfer of wealth from the ‘Baby Boomers’ to Generations X and Y is a crucial factor, with these generations set to become the beneficiary of the largest global wealth transfer in history. For banks looking to capture this sector, the challenge is to adapt their communication and marketing strategies to meet the needs of the younger generation rather than provide service offerings designed for their parents and grandparents.
