Redis should be available:

BTW, Redis would fit quite nicely into this article, so I will put that 
on the TODO list.

VMS is still alive. And hopefully will be so for many many
years to come.

RTR is also still alive. Not sure how much usage there is.

DEC MessageQ was bought by BEA I believe and I suspect the
product was effectively EOL'd when Oracle bought BEA.

MSMQ is still alive. Although a lot of Windows shops supposedly
use RabbitMQ today.

TIBCO rendezvous and other ESB products also still exist
even though their importance has declined.
