Alliance Gateway

Providing a single window to Swift messaging services

Alliance Gateway

Alliance Gateway is a communications interface that consolidates flows from multiple messaging interfaces, making traffic routing simpler. It streamlines your infrastructure and helps reduce maintenance costs. By connecting to SWIFT through a single SwiftNet Link instance, it efficiently manages over 40 transactions per second across all Swift message types, ensuring robust and scalable connectivity.

    Concentrates all Swift message flows, including FIN, InterAct, FileAct, and WebAccess, through a single instance using technical adapters like RAHA and MQHA.

  • Direct connection facilitation

    Utilises business adapters such as TDA to enable direct connections to Alliance Gateway, streamlining communication

  • High scalability

    Handles over 40 transactions per second, demonstrating its capability to manage high-volume messaging.

  • Security and resilience

    Can be placed in a demilitarized zone between two firewalls, allowing for tighter IP protocol filtering and segregated connectivity and business processing.

  • Control and compliance

    Maintains tight control over business flows with audit trail functionality and adheres to the four-eyes principle for administration, ensuring compliance.

  • Intelligent monitoring and load balancing

    Supports SNMP notifications, allows mapping of multiple applications or individuals to a single PKI profile, and enables automatic switching between multiple instances for load balancing and resilience.

  • Operator authentication

    Alliance Gateway can be integrated with an existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) database in order to perform central authentication of operators defined in Gateway.

  • Integrity checks

    Users can check whether the integrity of software and database components has been tampered with using Alliance Gateway’s integrity verification mechanism.

  • Development framework for application vendors

    The Gateway Developers Toolkit provides an easy-to-use framework for application vendors to offer their products on Swift. Facilities available in the toolkit include local authentication, local file transfer and Gateway management APIs. Developing for Alliance Gateway requires much less effort than developing directly for SwiftNet Link due to Gateway’s integration options and features.

  • License options

    Various license options can be ordered individually and these are available to all Alliance Gateway users. All users also automatically receive Alliance Web Platform SE, the new browser based graphical user interface framework.
