Architecture
Quantal PRO system is based upon an advanced scalable clustered Multi-Tier Client/Server software architecture that integrates open standard software, a reliable database and Quantal’s proprietary financial algorithms. Architecturally, Quantal PRO can be divided into three tiers as shown in the following diagram:
Figure 1: Quantal PRO System Architecture
Figure 2: Quantal PRO System Architecture
Client Tier: Quantal PRO Client
The Quantal PRO client is a high standard Java Application based on the extensible framework of XML and SWING classes using Java Technology. The dynamic Graphical User Interface (GUI) can be easily be customized to meet individual client preferences. We also provide the Quantal API (Application Programming Interface) for other proprietary or third party systems to directly interface to our servers. Direct access to our servers through the Quantal API can significantly reduce server throughput time for high volume users.
Server Tier: Quantal PRO Contact Server
The Quantal PRO contact server is built around the Apache Web Server and JBoss Application Server embedded with Tomcat servlet container. JBoss is an open source J2EE based application server, which is also certified as J2EE compliant by Sun Microsystems, Inc. The JBoss server is deployed in a scalable clustered configuration that provides high availability and load-balancing to the Quantal PRO clients. Primary and secondary server co-location centers guarantee maximum system up time.
The connection between the Quantal PRO Client and the Quantal PRO Contact Server is built on top industry standard choice of protocols: HA-RMI, HTTP and SSL (RSA, RC4, DES 128 bit encryption).
Application Tier: Quantal PRO Optimization Server
The Quantal PRO Optimization Server is a standard Web Service Server that uses SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) Protocol for communication. The Quantal PRO Optimization Server wraps Quantal’s proprietary optimization algorithm. The Optimization Server takes requests from the Quantal PRO Contact server and performs the optimization based upon the portfolio parameters. The Quantal PRO Optimization Server is also designed with high availability and load-balancing capability to meet growing client demands. The protocol between the Quantal PRO Application Server and Optimization Server is based on industry standard SOAP.
Benefits of Quantal PRO’s System Architecture:
- High-Availability – Contact Server availability is 99.9%
- Hosted Operation – Zero maintenance for Users.
- Automatic Updates – Users always receive the latest version of software.
- Industry Standard 128 bit encryption – High security and privacy when transporting portfolios.
- Multiplatform Support – Users can choose to run Quantal PRO in Windows, OS X, and Linux environment.
