Fully managed IBM MQ messaging middleware on AWS for secure point-to-point and
publish/subscribe integration across hybrid cloud and distributed applications.
Overview
IBM MQ SaaS Reserved Instance is a fully managed, enterprise-grade messaging middleware service hosted natively on AWS. Built on IBM MQ Advanced, it provides secure, reliable, and scalable messaging for business-critical applications using both point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging patterns. IBM MQ SaaS helps organizations modernize application integration, accelerate cloud migration, and connect workloads across AWS, on-premises data centers, IBM Cloud, and IBM Z environments. IBM manages deployment, patching, upgrades, monitoring, security hardening, and platform operations, allowing teams to focus on delivering business value rather than managing messaging infrastructure. IBM MQ SaaS is designed for mission-critical workloads requiring secure, exactly-once message delivery, high availability, and enterprise-grade resilience.
Key Features Fully managed IBM MQ service operated by IBM. Dedicated single-tenant infrastructure for predictable performance and enhanced isolation. Native high availability with data replication across three AWS Availability Zones. Up to 99.99% availability SLA. Automated deployment and lifecycle management through APIs. Enterprise-grade security with encryption in transit and at rest. Support for point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging. Hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity across AWS, IBM Cloud, on-premises environments, and IBM Z. Integrated monitoring and operational visibility for enterprise workloads.
Common Use Cases Application Integration Connect Java, .NET, COBOL, C/C++, Python, and containerized applications running on Amazon EC2, Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS, Amazon RDS, and Amazon DynamoDB using reliable asynchronous messaging. Mainframe Modernization Bridge IBM Z applications with AWS cloud-native services while preserving transactional integrity and exactly-once message delivery. Event-Driven Architecture Combine IBM MQ with Amazon MSK, AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, and Amazon S3 to support event processing, event distribution, and application decoupling. Financial Services and Core Banking Enable secure messaging between payment platforms, SWIFT gateways, fraud systems, trading platforms, and core banking applications that require high availability and zero message loss. Hybrid Cloud Integration Connect applications across AWS, IBM Cloud, private data centers, and multiple business units while maintaining consistent messaging, governance, and security controls.

Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Description | Cost/12 months | Overage cost |
|---|---|---|---|
Capacity Unit | A Capacity Unit includes 5 Virtual Processor Cores (VPC) of MQ SaaS entitlement | $86,400.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing uses a single pricing dimension: the Capacity Unit. You buy one or more Capacity Units under a reserved contract. Each Capacity Unit entitles you to 5 Virtual Processor Cores (VPC) of MQ SaaS usage. Pricing scales linearly with the number of Capacity Units you commit to. To add more processing capacity, you add more Capacity Units. There are no separate tiers or instance sizes to choose from. The structure keeps billing simple: your cost is the count of Capacity Units multiplied by the per-unit contract rate shown in the table.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One Capacity Unit gives you 5 Virtual Processor Cores (VPC) of MQ SaaS entitlement. A VPC is a processing core allocated to your managed queue managers. You count your total cores needed, then buy enough Capacity Units to cover them.
You add more Capacity Units. Each added unit grants another 5 Virtual Processor Cores of entitlement. Cost scales with the number of units you hold. There are no separate instance sizes or tiers; capacity grows only by adding units.
The entitlement covers IBM MQ SaaS queue managers for reliable message delivery across applications. It supports message-driven and event-driven workloads, managed file transfer, and encrypted data in transit and at rest. Your Virtual Processor Core allocation determines how much messaging capacity you can run.
