iMatix proposes a more sensible way to build your high-performance applications…
Our ØMQ (ZeroMQ) broker-free messaging product gives you an elastic fabric that scales from 64-core CPUs in one box and hundreds of boxes, down to low-power embedded and hand-held devices.
Your applications use a simple socket-style API to talk to each other. It takes only minutes to learn. You can mix apps in almost any language, on any platform. You get reliable multicast, razor-thin latency, and massive throughput. No brokers to crash or slow things down. Check the ZeroMQ site for the details, or try yourself.
We offer you:
- Architecture and design consultancy
- Migration from existing legacy messaging including AMQP
- Customization and extension
- A fully free and open source solution
- 24/7 global service level agreements
- Onsite support anywhere in the world
- Integration of ZeroMQ partner services
iMatix staff were building critical messaging infrastructure in 1991 and that software still runs today. Contact us now.

The Ice Wars
Managing change is the biggest challenge facing any government. Do we encourage it, regulate it, ignore it, or manipulate it? Is change to be seen as good, or as bad? A force for improvement or a force for destruction? September 2003.
