The exceptional capabilities of our web-based applications — Orbis Web Trader, our Java-based Market Streamer, and Web Broker — are a product of the advanced technologies that drive them. Orbis' online trading platforms are load-balanced across multiple servers to provide fast, reliable service. To ensure a safe trading environment, we use SSL encryption to protect the integrity of your data, and we give you the option to secure your system with a PKI device.

Orbis develops its products with both open-source software (such as MySQL and Apache Tomcat) and proprietary software (including Oracle, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft IIS). This flexibility means our applications get the best of both worlds: the robustness and reliability of proprietary systems, as well as the more innovative, cost-effective technology available from open-source systems. Our platforms are built with a number of languages, including Java, JSP, ASP, and PHP. We also use AJAX and XML technologies.

Users of our web products can depend on real-time market data. The live feeds integrated into our applications also deliver market news, company financial data, and updates on corporate actions such as dividends and stock splits.

Without requiring the installation of software, Orbis' web-based applications can match and even surpass the execution speeds of our competitors' costlier installed programs. That's because we take our web products very seriously, making sure all of our applications use the fastest technology available.
