Deployments running in different zones or regions can keep their schemas in sync thanks to VMware's exclusive Warm Standby Replication feature. If the primary deployment becomes unavailable, clients are able to reconnect to the secondary and continue working with minimal disruption.
Cloud cost savings
All network traffic exchanged by nodes in a deployment is compressed by default. For JSON message payloads, bandwidth usage is reduced by 16x. Use the calculator below to see how much you can save in network bandwidth costs.
Secure by design
Transport security protocols are restricted to production-safe variants. The included Erlang runtime has the latest optimizations and patches applied. Recovery from crashes is quicker and disk usage is lighter via improved configuration.

VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ Calculator
How much could you save every month?
VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ reduces your public cloud bandwidth bill using its exclusive intra-cluster compression feature.
The enterprise version of RabbitMQ pays for itself by reducing your cloud bill.
Monthly savings
Monthly savings
Approximate monthly, per-deployment savings based on the following calculations:
When a multi-node RabbitMQ cluster runs across multiple availability zones, all data transferred between nodes is charged at $0.01/GB. Google Cloud charges for outgoing traffic only. Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure charge for both incoming and outgoing traffic.
This is based on 1 Quorum Queue with 5 Producers and 5 Consumers, each with its own dedicated Connection and Channel. We use the c2-standard-8 GCP instance type, with 4 vCPUs and 10GB RAM dedicated to each RabbitMQ node. Each node has a 500GB SSD disk with max 15k read and write IOPS, and 240MB/s read and write throughput. Disk write throughput is the limiting factor, and the sliders on the left readjust to reflect this.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy support for Open Source RabbitMQ without buying any other VMware products or subscriptions?
Yes, and that support also includes a license to VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ, which we strongly recommend. However, it’s up to you to use the open source or the enterprise distribution.
Do I have to buy RabbitMQ OSS support separately from my VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ license?
No, your VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ license includes support for both the VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ and the RabbitMQ distributions for the number of cores in your license.
What is the difference between Kafka and RabbitMQ?
In the past, RabbitMQ used only queues and Kafka streams. RabbitMQ has increased its functionality and now has both queue semantics and streams, whereas Kafka still only supports streams. Read more about RabbitMQ vs. Kafka.
Did you say RabbitMQ is also a streaming broker?
Yes, streams is a feature of both the open source RabbitMQ and the enterprise VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ distributions. Watch a webinar on RabbitMQ Streams.
