Infrastructure

The core component of the infrastructure is the Dealing Communication Appliance (DCA), which is integrated into the existing customer transaction network. It can be addressed by both the existing Dealing 3000, as well as the newer FXT components. In order to provide all trading processes through a centralised and failsafe server instance, the necessary adapters (Feed Handler), for example Ticket Printing and Ticket Output Feed, are operated on the DCA. In addition to domain services for the administration of associated FXT clients, a comprehensive update and patch management is provided. The update and patch management serves both the Thomson Reuters software, as well as the necessary operating system updates and anti-virus protection, which are initiated via the DCA. With the remote maintenance option via a secure Internet connection, our specialists access the systems in case of failure or for coordinated processes for maintenance.

The releases are securley distributed, by agreement with the customer, onto the trader’s workstations. In addition a connection to various video switch systems (e.g. WEY) is ensured.
