FIXEdge is a server application that provides FIX connectivity for standalone client applications. Client applications communicate with FIXEdge through one of multiple transport protocols (e.g. Simple Sockets, TIBCO, CORBA) employing transport adaptors. It is designed to be as easy as possible to install, configure, administrate and monitor trading information flows. It is written in C++ and has a performance profile suitable for the needs of all clients up to and including large sell-side institutions and large volume traders.
The FIXEdge project was started with Sun Microsystems to be marketed as a package that included two sun servers configured in a HA cluster with the FIX Antenna C++ Sun edition pre-installed and configured. Eventually, the project grew into an autonomous selling product with a wide range of features that were not included in the original package. The FixEdge product has been endorsed by companies such as Autex, Reuters and OMGEO as a preferred connection mechanism.


In addition to all features provided by FIX Antenna C++, FIXEdge includes such features as:
• The system is ready to be deployed immediately after installation.
• A diverse set of supported transports (SXS, COM, CMS, NPipe).
• Ability to use custom transports.
• Simple and clear documentation.
• Business Logic support (e.g. rule-based routing and transformation).
• Well-defined Extension API.
• Libraries in .Net, C++ and Java to parse/validate/assemble application-level FIX messages.
• Transaction simulator.
• Built-in FIXopedia (FIX dictionaries for inline support).
• Web-based interface for configuration, administration and monitoring.
• The automation of scheduled tasks (e.g. Start of Day, End of Day).
• Simple error detection and recovery (Notification API, Configurable Logging).
• On-line support subject to market hours and client location.
