Abstract
A computer system includes an asynchronous messaging-and-queuing system; and a storage area network having a storage area network controller in communication with the asynchronous messaging-and-queuing system. The storage area network controller includes control means to control a message queue on behalf of one or more queue managers, which may be heterogeneous. The storage area network controller may also include means for controlling persistence of messages, transactional control means, such as a syncpoint coordinator, and data integrity control means, such as a lock manager.

19. A method for communicating in a computer system comprising:
-
managing a queue in a storage area network of said computer system supporting an asynchronous messaging and queuing system;
receiving a message request at a queue manager of said storage area network; and
passing said received message request to a storage area network controller of said storage area network, wherein said controller includes means to control a message selected from a group consisting of;
transactional and persistent. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
