FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brussels, 15 March 2007: iMatix Corporation has released OpenAMQ/1.2, a major new messaging product, as free software. OpenAMQ is a mature and tested AMQP product consisting of: high-performance messaging broker, client libraries for C/C++, protocol scripting framework, remote operator console, failover clustering, broker federation, extensive documentation.

iMatix CEO Pieter Hintjens says, "iMatix's free software has a reputation for being tough, fast, easy to use, and well documented. OpenAMQ is no exception: we spent over eighteen months hardening this software for production use in large-scale deployments." In December 2006, JPMorgan deployed the iMatix OpenAMQ infrastructure as the backbone for a global mission critical front-office application accessed by thousands of users in its Equities line of business.

JPMorgan chose iMatix for its proven track record, sound architecture, and its adherence to open standards and principles, thus enabling easy integration and future flexibility. “OpenAMQ has stood the test of sustained production use in a demanding environment, proving to be capable and predictable”, said R. John O’Hara, executive director and senior architect at JPMorgan. “Also, iMatix has been an excellent partner, demonstrating high levels of commitment which allowed us to roll out the project efficiently and deliver the exceptional market services our customers demand.”

OpenAMQ focuses on simplicity of use, speed, and reliability. Hintjens explains: "we don't try to do everything. We focus on making the most reliable, unbreakable server possible. Less is more: while the protocol (AMQP) provides some very complex features, we implement the most essential core, and we make it fast and robust."

OpenAMQ is built in C/C++, is fully multithreaded, supports up to 128-way SMP, and runs on Linux, Solaris, and Windows. OpenAMQ interoperates with other AMQP products such as RabbitMQ and Qpid.

OpenAMQ/1.2 is released under the GPL (broker) and BSD license (client libraries) at http://www.openamq.org.
