Long Link RMQ clustering

Question

Sorry for what may seem a simple question to some, but. Currently use RMQ for pretty simple client/Queue/Consumer type transactions. Some use return message queues, while others are just simple 'jobs'. Looking to distribute between 'sites' and for use-cases of RMQ-Clustering with nodes that are not co-located, ie: on WAN.

Has anyone done such a thing, or should I bite-the-bullet and move to ActiveMQ/Artemis.

Thank you for any insights.

ActiveMQ 5's network connectors are designed to support the "long link" or WAN connectivity pattern (along with others). The messaging pattern is known as 'store-and-forward'. It supports one-way push, bi-directional and pull approaches.
