Host Integration Server, MSMQ & IBM WebSphere MQ Integration

Good Morning,

My company is currently looking to upgrade from IBM Websphere MQ 5.3 to MSMQ. The server that we will need to communicate with runs IBM Websphere 6.0.

After doing some research I noticed that in order to bridge WMQ and MSMQ we need to get Host Integration server. The microsoft product team was pretty unhelpful in explaining what package that I would need.

I assumed that I would need the Standard Edition, however on the site it states that the “Branch” version http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/pricing-licensing.aspx includes the Host Integration Server that we need.

What version should we go with?

Thanks in advance!
