Two IBM support dates to plan around.
IBM Cloud Pak for Integration 16.1.0 base support ends December 31, 2026
Planning the move off 16.1.0? We size the next release from your own License Service numbers and show the VPC math before you order.

IBM MQ 9.3 base support ends September 30, 2027
Planning the move to MQ 10? We map your queue managers, standbys and test systems to the right licenses first, so the bill is known before you order.

Your next integration release can do more.
- It runs as IBM-managed SaaS or as self-managed software on containers and virtual machines.
- It connects apps, APIs, events and files with 400+ prebuilt connectors and integration capabilities.*
- It brings MQ, App Connect, Aspera and API Connect under one IBM platform.
The integration you run today may be serving you well. This is what the next release adds.
We size it with you. You see your price first, within one business day.
Apps, messages and files, one platform.
Applications connect.
IBM App Connect offers more than 200 prebuilt connectors and templates, and its integrations can be authored on premises, in containers or as SaaS.
Messages arrive once.
IBM says MQ is designed to never lose a message, with secure, reliable, exactly-once delivery. Native high availability and cross-region replication cover failover and disaster recovery.
Files move at scale.
IBM Aspera, powered by FASP technology, moves large files across distance, latency and unpredictable networks. IBM Sterling Secure File Transfer sits beside it.

Three of IBM’s own figures.
400+ connectors.
IBM Integration offers 400+ prebuilt connectors and integration capabilities for enterprise apps, cloud services, databases and other systems.
MQ 10.0, a Long Term Support release.
IBM says IBM MQ 10.0 LTS is generally available from June 16, 2026, and from June 19, 2026 for MQ for z/OS.
A 14-day Aspera trial.
IBM offers a 14-day trial of Aspera with up to 50GB of transfer volume.

Count the cores first.
IBM licenses self-managed MQ by Processor Value Units, as a perpetual license, or by Virtual Processor Cores, monthly; MQ as a Service counts Capacity Units. IBM Integration runs on usage-based credits as SaaS and on entitlements as software. We count with you before you order.

What you get.
If you own integration and messaging.
You get one IBM platform for apps, APIs, events and files, as SaaS or software you run, with 400+ prebuilt connectors.* Our engineering team plans each version move with you.
If you run IT operations.
You get MQ designed to never lose a message, with native high availability and cross-region replication for failover. Our engineering team sets up your queue managers and standbys with you.
If you are the CIO.
You get both IBM support dates on one plan and the license count before you order. Pay only for what you need. See your price first, within one business day.
You have real choices. Here is each one, plainly.
Keep the integration you have.
Nothing to buy. Nothing to move. What the next release adds will still be here when you are ready.
Buy from IBM itself.
IBM sells directly to fewer than about 100 companies and organizations in the United States. Everyone else buys through an IBM Business Partner. So the real choice is which partner.
Buy through another IBM Business Partner.
Same IBM software. Same IBM programs. Ask three things: who counts your cores, how soon you see the price, and who is with you through the version move.
Choose a different integration platform.
Right when your team already runs it everywhere. Compare three things: messages delivered exactly once, file transfer in the same platform, and the choice of SaaS or self-managed software.
Use your cloud provider’s messaging.
Right when every application that sends and receives lives in that one cloud.
Buy it through us.
You get the same IBM software. And you get our engineering team: we count your cores with you, show you your price first, and stay with you through each version move and support.
IBM builds the platform. We size it with you.
You see your price first.
Tell us what you’re after. One business day later you have a price, sized to fit, with nothing in it you don’t need.
Our engineering team owns it.
The engineers who size it set it up and stay through support. IBM Business Partner since 2008, 29 of 29 IBM proficiencies, one team the whole way.
It is our pleasure to meet you.
230 briefing centers in 113 cities. Pick one; one of our engineers brings the coffee. Or meet us online.
Our engineering team maps your queue managers, flows and file transfers, counts the cores or credits behind them, gets the licensing right, then sets it up and supports it.
It would be our pleasure to size yours.

We would rather tell you now. IBM Integration is not the fit if every application you connect lives in one cloud and that cloud’s own services already join them, or if all you need is to publish and secure APIs. For that last one, ask us about API Connect. See IBM API Connect
