CORBA Implementation

Orbix is World's Leading CORBA Implementation

Progress Orbix (formerly from IONA) is the most widely deployed CORBA implementation in the world. For more than 15 years, our enterprise CORBA implementation products have been integrating mission-critical software systems in some of the world's most demanding IT environments. Orbix goes beyond implementation of the CORBA standard to deliver enterprise-class functionality for thousands of distributed systems around the globe. Orbix routinely handles CORBA integration and scalability problems in the most complex and largest systems, as well as in the most demanding IT environments, including government agencies, banks, insurance companies, utilities, and manufacturers. Orbix operates across the entire spectrum of computing tasks—from everyday commercial processing to real-time control applications, from billing systems to multimedia news delivery, and from most of the world's telephone systems to mission-critical systems at the world's biggest banks.

A CORBA Implementation Built on Open and Standards-based Technology

Orbix delivers all of its capabilities through modern, open, and entirely standards-based technologies. Development teams working to integrate CORBA implementations with other technologies can rely on Orbix's ability to meet the most demanding reliability, scalability, and performance requirements. Orbix is among the fastest CORBA implementations in the world, with an optimized IIOP protocol stack that can utilize more than 99 percent of network bandwidth under extreme loads. And Orbix is the most enterprise-ready CORBA implementation on the market today. While offering core security and transaction services, Orbix also provides advanced clustering, server replication, fault tolerance, and load-balancing features, all of which can be used by any component operating on the Orbix platform.

With more customers and more systems in production than any other CORBA vendor, Progress Software is able to offer the highest-quality CORBA support in the industry. And Progress employs the world's most accomplished CORBA engineers and operates the largest CORBA development organization in the industry.

Ultimately, Orbix has become the market-leading implementation because it has won the hearts and minds of developers everywhere. Over the past 15 years, our CORBA implementations have become extremely efficient, robust, and standards-compliant.

Orbix's mature and proven technology has created the robust and resilient infrastructure to support mission-critical applications at Global 2000 companies like Siemens, Nokia, Credit Suisse, Raytheon, Lufthansa, AT&T, and many more.
