Dunno, but I'll tell you an absoutely true story about MQSeries:

A while back, our organisation needed to transmit information from one database to another, and decided that MQSeries was the business. So they wrote a VB program to interrogate database A for changes, and generate MQ messages. Then they wrote a second VB program to watch for MQ messages, and apply them to database B.

Both databases were Oracle, and this not going to change.

So now we have Database A -> VB -> MQ -> MQ -> VB -> Database B, and it could have been Oracle replication: Database A -> Database B.

Madness, or what?
