U1 Technologies

U1 Technologies provides the communications infrastructure for trading platforms used by some of the world's top multi-national investment banks. U1's software is designed to tackle the most critical aspects of messaging for real-time trading applications – addressing the competing requirements of ultra high-performance and fault tolerance. U1's software is used at the core of large-scale stock trading applications to trade derivatives, bonds, foreign exchange, futures, options and swaps in real-time trading to global markets. U1 Technologies was founded in San Francisco in 1998 by technical experts in the areas of cybersecurity, enterprise messaging, and distributed applications development. Our platform was the first Java-based pub/sub engine ever developed and heavily influenced the JDBC/JMS v1 specs. Our implementation was the first application certified by Sun Microsystems as 100% pure Java. U1 Technologies is privately held and has been profitable since 1999.
