B2BITS moves QuickFIX©* based applications into microseconds latency realm

Feb. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Newtown, PA — B2BITS, EPAM Systems’ Competency Center, is proud to announce the release of FIX Antenna QF Adaptor developed for the QuickFIX©* users.

FIX Antenna QF Adaptor was created in response to the high demand from the QuickFIX community users to achieve substantial improvement in the latency characteristics of their trading applications.

It allows switching to the high performance FIX Antenna C++ engine with minimal or no effort. FIX Antenna QF Adaptor outperforms QuickFIX by over 7 times in throughput, while delivering 4 times lower latency.

“We implemented the QuickFIX API replacing the open source engine with FIX Antenna engine.  Users can get the cost advantage of continuing to use the open source library where performance of QuickFIX is sufficient and leverage FIX Antenna C++™ on latency/ throughput critical connections without changing the code. We will work with the open source community to see the adoption of our product and welcome feedback on ease of migration and performance gains,” said Mark Bisker, SVP of EPAM Systems and co-founder of B2BITS.

FIX Antenna QF Adaptor is an add-on package for FIX Antenna C++ library. The package will be sold at no additional cost with FIX Antenna library. The beta version of the product is available now. The first 5 clients who will have it implemented successfully, will receive a 1-year free license for FIX Antenna C++.
