Your client states that Kafka is all they need for mission critical
messaging. How do you reply?
Ask the client if once-and-only once message delivery
for communication, integration between systems and/or
applications is important. Highlight that IBM MQ is also
ideal with tasks that are long running, require
prioritization, and flexible routing amongst systems. It
also includes important capabilities for mission-critical
messaging.
IBM Event Streams, which is Kafka based, is ideal for
mission-critical messaging due to its bi-directional
messaging support. Highlight that IBM Event Streams
messaging is also ideal with tasks that are long running,
require prioritization, transactionality, and flexible routing
amongst systems.
Kafka focuses on real-time processing and data analysis
through synchronous messaging. Highlight that IBM MQ is
also ideal with tasks that are long running, require
prioritization, transactionality, and flexible routing amongst
systems and that Kafka's strength is streaming data.
IBM MQ is Kafka based so it is ideal for mission-critical
messaging due to its once-and-only-once messaging and
support. Highlight that IBM MQ messaging is also ideal for
tasks that are long running, require prioritization,
transactionality, and flexible routing amongst systems.
Question 9
Correct
Points out of 1.00 Back Next
Which statement best describes the difference between IBM
MQ Managed File Transfer (MFT) capabilities and IBM Aspera?
IBM MQ Managed File Transfer uses IBM Aspera under the
covers so there is no real difference between the two
solutions.
IBM MQ Managed File Transfer is for transferring files over
long distances at speed while IBM Aspera is best for short
distance transfer of very large volumes of data.
IBM MQ MFT is a better fit for regional transfer use
cases while IBM Aspera focuses on moving very large
files quickly over longer distances.
IBM MQ Managed File Transfer is only to be used for files
up to 100KB and Aspera is for all message sizes including
image and video data.

Correct
Points out of 1.00 Back Next
Which of the following statements is *NOT* a benefit of
deploying the IBM Event Streams Operator versus open-source
Apache Kafka?

Apache Kafka has many distinct components to deploy,
configure, and coordinate for secure connectivity.
Question 12
Correct
Points out of 1.00
During a cloud messaging conversation with your client, they
mention how AWS is the company standard for public cloud.
Before the end of the meeting what do you want to ensure your
client knows?
IBM understands that clients need flexibility when
selecting public cloud solutions. While IBM supports
deploying IBM MQ through software deployment to Virtual
Machines or running in containers on public clouds such as
AWS, IBM Pubic Cloud is preferred.
Deploying messaging on AWS is a great solution. IBM
supports deployment of IBM MQ through software
deployment to Virtual Appliances on Public Clouds.
IBM supports deployment of IBM MQ to virtual Machines
and to containers running only on RedHat Public Cloud.
IBM understands that clients need flexibility when
selecting public cloud solutions. IBM supports
deploying IBM MQ through software deployment to
Virtual Machines or running in containers on public
clouds such as AWS and Azure.

MQ over a Kafka-based solution?
IBM MQ is designed to store event history. This is beneficial
to debugging and problem determination.
IBM MQ is a more lightweight solution that can be
deployed into a container alongside the microservice on
a fraction of a core.
IBM MQ is less expensive regardless which form factor is

IBM MQ is very lightweight and can be deployed on
appliances at a fraction of the cost.
Question 14
Correct
Points out of 1.00
You are having a messaging discussion with a client. The client
asks what deployment form factors are available for IBM MQ.
What form factors do you tell your client?
RedHat certified container, in containers, and Software-as-
a-Service.

In a competitive streaming opportunity you need to highlight
why IBM is a better fit for your client. Which of the following
differentiators does NOT apply to IBM Event Streams?
IBM Event Streams supports geo-replication for Disaster
Recovery and integration with IBM MQ.
IBM Event Streams simplifies Kafka access control with
integrated security.

Private and Public Clouds.
Question 16
Correct
Points out of 1.00 Back Next
How would you describe IBM MQ's guarantee once-and-only-
once delivery to a client?
With IBM MQ, clients can build integration flows in minutes
starting with a catalog of connectors. These connectors
have a MQ queue between them. The IBM MQ checks to
make sure the messages are sent and received once-and-
only-once.
IBM MQ allows clients to create, expose, manage, and
monetize APIs across clouds. This means businesses and
their customers can connect digital applications so that
messages are delivered only-and-only-once.
IBM MQ provides a gateway to help secure, control and log
messaging traffic and interactions, and supporting
containers while maintaining system performance. This is
what guarantees once only delivery.
Referred to as asynchronous messaging, IBM MQ is the
"shock absorber" between applications. The sender
application does not need the receiving application to
be available at the same time, as IBM MQ provides
queue availability to support guaranteed once-and-
only-once.
Question 17
Correct
Points out of 1.00 Back Next
The requirement to 'stay open for business' yet current with
new capabilities is top of mind with most clients. How does IBM
Event Streams accomplish this differently than the
competition?
IBM Event Streams supports zero downtime upgrades
through a real-time update feature to back end systems.
IBM Event Streams supports zero downtime upgrades
through utilizing a 'change later' capture feature.
IBM Event Streams supports this with a simple, 3-click-
deploy feature.
