Message Queuing (also known as MSMQ) is a messaging infrastructure and environment for running distributed, loosely coupled, messaging applications. MSMQ is a messaging protocol that allows applications running on separate servers/processes to communicate in a failsafe manner. A queue is a temporary storage location from which messages can be sent and received reliably, as and when conditions permit. Queues are used to receive and send the Messages.
Message Queuing applications running on source computers send messages to queues, where they are temporarily stored, and applications running on target computers retrieve messages from queues.
