Kaazing Adds AMQP to the Growing List of Protocols and Standards Supported by
the Kaazing Enterprise Gateway



MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaazing Corporation, makers of
gateways that connect web-based applications to high-volume, real-time message
traffic, today announced support for the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
(AMQP) in the most recent release of the company's flagship product, Kaazing
Enterprise Gateway (KEG).

AMQP is an open Internet Protocol for a messaging infrastructure that provides
a simple, powerful way to send messages within and between organizations. AMQP
is designed to be reliable and to scale to high message volumes, and because
the specifications published by the AMQP working group (at www.amqp.org) are
royalty-free, it has enjoyed considerable support from both vendors and
financial services institutions.

A number of prominent organizations contribute to AMQP, including Barclays
Bank, Cisco Systems, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Borse Systems, Goldman Sachs,
JPMorgan Chase Bank & Co. and Microsoft Corporation. The protocol is well
suited to a wide range of business and infrastructure messaging
applications--but when web-based clients try to access enterprise-based
Message Delivery Networks, they often stumble.

Kaazing's addition of AMQP to the suite of protocols supported by KEG gives
developers a new option. By connecting Rich Internet Applications directly to
an AMQP message feed, companies can build fast, real-time Web applications
without the usual headaches or high costs.

"We're excited that Kaazing is extending its support to include AMQP. As the
most widely adopted AMQP product, customers often ask us when RabbitMQ will
interoperate with Kaazing's fast web push technology," said Alexis Richardson,
CEO of Rabbit technologies and co-founder of CohesiveFT. "As a 100% open
standard for messaging, AMQP is all about driving integration costs down to
zero.  We are delighted that RabbitMQ can integrate--at web scale--with all of
the platforms that Kaazing supports.  It's a great win for our customers."

Along with AMQP, KEG supports a variety of other protocols such as JMS, STOMP,
XMPP, and custom protocols. The new functionality means that web applications
written in JavaScript, Adobe Flex/Flash, and Microsoft Silverlight can all now
communicate directly with AMQP-based message networks.

"We're excited about AMQP and what it means for the industry," said Jonas
Jacobi, CEO of Kaazing. "It's an example of an open, industry-led protocol
with a wide range of uses, and it provides the kind of reliable, two-way
communications fabric on which tomorrow's real-time Web will run."
