About iMatix Corporation
We specialize in high-performance solutions for the financial industry and other sectors that need an extreme performance/cost ratio from their messaging.
At iMatix we've done message-oriented multithreading since 1991, when we used this approach to build fast and scalable front-ends for OpenVMS capable of handling 1,000+ users. In 1996 we used a similar approach to build a fast lightweight web server (Xitami). The Xitami framework was single core, using "green threading" rather than real OS threads. We used this framework for many server-side applications.
From 2004 we worked with JPMorganChase to design AMQP, and its first implementation, OpenAMQ. JPMorganChase migrated their largest trading application to OpenAMQ in 2006. Today OpenAMQ runs the Dow Jones Industrial Average and is widely used in less well-known places.
iMatix CEO Pieter Hintjens was the main designer of AMQP/0.6 and the editor of the de-facto standard AMQP/0.9.1. Martin Sustrik, architect of ØMQ, was part of the iMatix OpenAMQ team, and was project leader for the AMQP working group.
