NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaazing Corporation today announced key partners, customers, and application deployments that underscore the rapid adoption of its HTML 5 WebSocket Acceleration technology. Among those building atop Kaazing are Eikos, a leading systems integrator in the Financial Services industry; and Digital Vega, the UK-based firm behind the Medusa FX trading platform.

Built atop the HTML 5 standard -- which many analysts and technology leaders believe is the basis for the next generation of two-way, real-time web applications -- Kaazing's flagship product, the Kaazing Enterprise Gateway (KEG), is based on an architecture that handles dramatically more messages, to more clients, than competing approaches.

"Kaazing's core architecture doesn't try to convert enterprise message traffic to web pages," said Jonas Jacobi, Kaazing's co-founder and CEO. "Instead, it connects Rich Internet Applications directly to the real-time information they need. This approach fundamentally changes how many industries -- from financial services, to telecommunications, to gaming, to social networks -- will build and run the next generation of web-based services."

At the core of KEG is the patent-pending WebSockets Acceleration technology, which turns every client application into a fast, reliable member of a real-time message network, whether that application is built in AJAX, Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash, or Java. The approach requires no changes to clients and no special software. It's even backwards-compatible to older browsers, giving them access to many of the features that the newly-defined HTML 5 protocol promises.

HTML 5 enables new classes of applications atop the web. It's so central to the future of the Internet that Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering at Google says, "the web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years." Scott Loganbill of Webmonkey calls HTML 5 "the biggest leap forward in web standards in almost a decade."

KEG is already being deployed by cutting-edge systems integrators in the financial service industry. "We're excited to partner with Kaazing for the delivery of high-performance RIA applications," said David Lattimore-Gay, Senior Partner, Eikos Partners. "Our applications are enhanced with the Kaazing Enterprise Gateway, and Kaazing's HTML 5 Websocket Acceleration technology. Our approach redefines how real-time applications will be built, and raises the bar dramatically on performance, speed, availability and reliability, and most importantly, the user experience."

Another Kaazing partner, Digital Vega FX, is using KEG to deliver real-time FX options pricing, execution and market data to their client base of large corporations and financial institutions in the UK, Europe and the USA. "We see this as the future of how real-time data can be delivered for ultra-high-performance business needs such as the FX market," said Mark Suter, Managing Director at Digital Vega FX.
