I frequently see above 2 terms in literature. What is the relationship between them?

Thanks a lot!

Li,

There is no difference between the two. They are literally the same. MQSeries is from IBM and see this explanation:

These MQ Series can run on any application server. Since MQSeris is from IBM usually they run on Websphere app server.

Hi there,

IBM WebSphere MQ is a family of network communication software products by IBM. It was previously known as MQSeries, a trademark that IBM rebranded in 2002 to join the suite of WebSphere products. WebSphere MQ, which is often referred to simply as "MQ" by users, is IBM's Message Oriented Middleware offering.

It allows independent and potentially non-concurrent applications on a distributed system to communicate with each other.
