Borland Enhances Industry Leading VisiBroker with New CORBA Services for Telecommunications, Web Services, Security and More
September 29, 2004 – Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ: NM: BORL) today introduced the newest version of Borland Enterprise Server 6.5, VisiBroker® Edition, Borland’s widely deployed infrastructure solution for the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA®). The company also introduced new and enhanced CORBA services for those depending on this high-performance, highly-available and scalable platform to run mission-critical applications.
“CORBA continues to power some of the world’s most critical software systems, from global telecommunication networks to national stock exchanges and defense systems,” said Thanh Tran, vice president and general manager of Borland’s Enterprise Business Unit. “VisiBroker and our other deployment products enable companies to continue their investments in CORBA and be confident their high-performance legacy systems can easily integrate with and even supplement newer technologies and platforms.”
“Every IT investment needs to be maximized,” said Dr. Hans Herbert Langer, department manager of architecture and development at the Techniker Krankenkasse. “The performance and scalability enhancements in Borland Enterprise Server, VisiBroker edition will be very important for us, helping us to ensure our CORBA systems are able to power our most critical systems.”
Improving Performance in Mission-Critical Applications
Increasing IT efficiency continues to be a top concern of CIOs today, especially in the telecommunications, government and finance sectors where real-time information access is crucial and investments in CORBA are common. Borland continues to address this need with significant performance and scalability enhancements in VisiBroker, as well as a number of new and improved add-on services that leverage CORBA’s scalability, performance and reliability. These include:
- Borland VisiExchange – a new service that exposes CORBA applications as Web services, and includes WSDL tooling, UDDI and Axis support
- Borland VisiTime – a new service that provides a sophisticated model for manipulating time, time zones and inaccuracies in time
- Borland VisiTelcoLog – a new telecom service that enables permanent storage and query-based retrieval of logged events
- Borland VisiNotify – an improved service for high-performance event notification with unique support for typed channels
- Borland VisiSecure – an improved security service that helps ensure critical data and services are not exposed to inappropriate or unintended use
- Borland VisiTransact – an improved service that ensures consistency and integrity of mission-critical data even when other parts of the system fail
- Borland VisiNaming – an improved service that helps client applications obtain an object reference by using the logical name assigned to that object
VisiBroker tightly integrates with multiple development environments and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions such as Borland JBuilder®, C++Builder® and Delphi™. This level of choice and integration should make development of new CORBA, J2EE and Web services-based applications both faster and easier. In a time when IT budgets remain tight, VisiBroker is designed to ensure a linear migration path from CORBA to other technology platforms as well as backward compatibility with previous VisiBroker versions.
Availability
Borland Enterprise Server 6.5, VisiBroker edition is expected to be available in the next three months on the Windows®, Solaris™ and Linux platforms. For more information on Borland deployment solutions, visit www.borland.com/products
