Comparison Table of Financial Connection Conversion Solutions

Solution	Advantages	Disadvantages
DLSw, X.25 Over TCP/IP Compatible Interface	Adopting hardware solution without the need to modify software	Weaker performance than simple TCP/IP Adoption. Compatible interface is a transition solution proposed by FISC. Abolished by financial companies and no longer supported
EE Compatible Interface	EE does not require modification on Server AP	Procurement price is expensive if the server does not contain EE function. Compatible interface is a transition solution proposed by FISC. Abolished by financial companies and no longer supported
Proprietary ICO interface and MQ Interface	High speed through TCI/IP network transmission information	Adopting software change and need to procure TCP/IP communication interface modules and software Need to change server application with high development and testing costs. Server adopting TCP/IP needs to take external security into consideration. Prolonged development and testing schedule do not comply with cost-benefit.
Azure Solution FISC Gateway	No need to change server AP One conversion complies long-term planning of financial companies and avoids costs of two conversions. Server terminal can adopt previous SNA communication to connect with FISC Gateway. Achieving fast conversion to new architecture while retaining highly stable and flexible network structure. Avoiding necessary development and testing issues related to server AP. Additional server module may be required for procurement. Supporting all future communication methods. Server only trusting in FISC Gateway with increased security.
