This extends the options available to clients for integration with RA-Cheetah, Rapid Addition’s ultra-low latency FIX engine, and its FIX adapted for streaming (FAST) data compression gateway and hub, RA-Quantum.
The benefits include support for the high-volume, low-latency requirements where speed of data delivery is paramount. This is enabled as reliable multicast messaging and reliable unicast messaging, along with support for Infiniband chip technology.
RA-Cheetah is the world’s fastest FIX engine, with sustained average latency of under 10μs, while RA-Quantum is capable of sub-microsecond compression and decompression of market data.
The financial information exchange (FIX) protocol is a series of messaging specifications for the electronic communication of trade-related messages. Banks, broker-dealers, exchanges, industry utilities and associations, institutional investors and information technology providers around the world developed it.
FIX Protocol is a non-profit organisation that owns the intellectual property rights of FIX which is provided free in the public domain.
