CORBA Integration

Orbix Powers CORBA Integration

Orbix is the market-leading implementation of the CORBA standard. As a multi-protocol, multi-platform integration solution that bridges the gap between different operating systems and languages, Orbix facilitates the integration of mission-critical software systems in industries such as banking, insurance, telecommunications, utilities, and manufacturing, as well as in government defense, intelligence and civilian agency deployments. Orbix supports CORBA integration through our patented Adaptive Runtime Technology™, which enables developers to add new features and support for technology through standard CORBA services at runtime. Orbix was designed to help development teams achieve CORBA integration while meeting the most demanding scalability, reliability, and performance requirements.

CORBA Integration Made Easier with Orbix

Orbix is the most enterprise-ready CORBA infrastructure product on the market, offering server replication, advanced clustering, fault tolerance, and load-balancing features, as well as core security and transaction services. To facilitate CORBA integration, Orbix enables any feature to be exploited by any component operating on the Orbix platform. Orbix is among the fastest CORBA integration solutions on the market today, delivering an optimized IIOP protocol stack that can utilize over 99 percent of network bandwidth under extreme loads. And Orbix offers a fully instrumented management, logging, configuration, and deployment infrastructure that is designed to lower operational expense and dramatically reduce the total cost of application service provision.

Orbix enables superior CORBA integration by delivering:

• Performance. PKZIP type compression of CORBA IIOP messages on the wire allows CORBA servers to be distributed over low-bandwidth networks.
• Reliability. Orbix 6 server clustering architecture groups multiple physical servers into a single logical server, and dynamic recovery of Orbix 6 services automatically promotes replica services should the master service fail.
• Management. Extensible configuration allows services to be easily added or removed.
• Scalability. Using the Orbix 6 Portable Object Adapter, enterprises can scale their systems to billions of objects.
• Broad platform support. Orbix 6 is supported on more platforms than any other ORB.
• Security. Federation of the Orbix 6 Security Server allows single sign-on across multiple security domains.

World-class Support Enables Smoother CORBA Integration

With more systems in production and more customers than any other CORBA vendor, Progress Software offers the industry's highest quality support for CORBA integration. We offer several levels of CORBA support that are tailored to specific service level requirements, including 24/7 on-call response. Ultimately, the large number of our enterprise-scale CORBA systems in production testifies to the quality of support Progress can provide to development and integration teams.

Progress also provides solutions for application integration, content-based routing, data integration, FpML, and information resources such as SOA white papers and SOA webcasts that document Progress solutions for service-oriented architecture (SOA).
