Does Tibco EMS supports "Network of Brokers" topology similar to ActiveMQ?
Or any other similar feature to support distributed queues and topics for scalable design?
Yes, TibcoEMS supports distributed queues and topics.

I am very new to MQTT and ActiveMQ. I wanted to know whether we are able to scale ActiveMQ via clustering for MQTT. I was looking for an open-source MQTT broker which can scale horizontally to have lots of connected clients (100k+).
ActiveMQ can scale via what's called a network of brokers.
However, if you want the best performance I would recommend taking a look at ActiveMQ Artemis, the next generation ActiveMQ broker. It also supports clustering, and it's built on a high performance, non-blocking architecture. Here is a 3rd party benchmark that compares the performance potential of a handful of message brokers. As you can see, ActiveMQ Artemis performs very well, especially compared to its competitors.
To be clear, clustering is protocol agnostic so all protocols are supported with clustering.
We have our Active-MQ on-premise and I'm exploring options in AWS for managed messaging service. All of our applications use ActiveMQ's Virtual Topic feature. It appears that in AWS, Fanout can be achieved using SNS->SQS. But unfortunately, SNS support SQS standard Queues and FIFO queues are not supported yet. What is the best way to achieve Fanout cases when message ordering is also important?
We could use Kinesis and AWS ActiveMQ as well. But with Kinesis I couldn't imagine how the VirtualTopic feature can be achieved in Kinesis. How shards are work in multiple Topics.
So, what is the best way to achieve ActiveMQ Virtual Topic functionality in the AWS world using SQS-SNS?
Well, now you can use SNS FIFO topics with SQS FIFO queues.

you can use 'Amazon MQ' since it is mentioned in FAQ that 'Amazon MQ is suitable for enterprise IT pros, developers, and architects who are managing a message broker themselves–whether on-premises or in the cloud–and want to move to a fully managed cloud service without rewriting the messaging code in their applications.'

We have been doing some POCs with RabbitMQ. However there is some debate going on if we need to move away from RabbitMQ to Webshpere MQ.
So ignoring the licensing factors purely from a technical standpoint can some one explain how this will work.
What is the performance for Webshpere MQ vs Rabbit MQ.
What are the integration aspects of Webshpere MQ with Spring framework.
Internally Websphere MQ i understand uses MQI, so how does this compare with AMQP.
Appreciate any pointers on the above questions.
I can't/won't speak to performance, but it shouldn't be too hard for simple PTP and Pub/Sub use cases.
RabbitMQ is much more flexible than JMS due to its many exchange types and decoupling of publishers and subscribers due to the rich exchange/binding mechanisms.
You can get some of that functionality using message selectors on the consumer side.
Spring (main framework) provides a JMS abstraction in the spring-jms jar - see the Spring Framework documentation.
The only answer that I can find seems to say that the datapower appliance only support Websphere MQ, and it doesn't understand ActiveMQ brokers.
And, the documentation for Front Side Handler mentioned Queue managers, which ActiveMQ does not have.
Is there another way in datapower to fetch/poll messages from an activeMQ?
WDP does not support all possible brokers but just a few of them (Tibco, IBM etc). If you configure AMQ to provide a REST interface you can consume messages from it using plain HTTP instead of messaging.
REST/HTTP access to ActiveMQ won't be nearly as good as traditional OpenWire/AMQP connections. It will lack support for transactions and other things, but you can at least read messages.
I do not suggest using an ActiveMQ as messaging backbone for DataPower - go for IBM WebSphere MQ instead as they are nicely integrated. If you need to occasionally pull a message or two from an ActiveMQ broker - go for the above setup.
sorry if now I can't provide all the details, but I'm trying to use NServiceBus on Azure Service Bus using the Basic configuration. NServiceBus fails on start because it tries to create a Topic and a Queue, and Basic mode of Azure Service Bus doesn't suport Topics. Any help or workaround? Thanks!
I think you're talking about Basic Tier (pay).
Not with the current version of the ASB transport. Current version of transport only has one topology QueueAndTopicByEndpointTopology which is creating topics by default. You have two options: switch to Paid Tier or implement an alternative topology and use that (not a trivial task). Next version of transport will support more topologies and allow better mechanism to plug custom implementations.
But have you considered the following: without Topics you cannot have pub/sub. This would be a severe limitation when using bus architecture.
As Sean outlined, basic tier is currently not possible out of the box. But I'm curious to know why prefer Basic tier over Storage Queues?
