Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)
The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard enables your software components to work together, regardless of where they reside, what hardware they run on, or what language they are coded in. CORBA supports mission-critical applications in demanding IT environments that include the banking, insurance, manufacturing, telecommunications, and utilities industries, as well as for government defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies. Today CORBA is the underlying technology for some of the largest service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments in the world. If you are thinking about implementing the CORBA standard, Progress has solutions that can help.
