IONA Technologies' core mission is to bring the power of Distributed Object Technology to the world. IONA's Orbix, the world's leading Object Request Broker, is a full implementation of the OMG's CORBA standard. Orbix/Ada allows Ada developers to build standards based distributed applications across platform and language barriers.
Orbix/Ada allows applications to be built quickly and easily -- and makes software easier to design and maintain. Orbix includes all the functionality of the CORBA specification, including IDL compiler, dynamic invocation interface and interORB interoperability, and also numerous beneficial extensions to the standard that assist in the design and construction of advanced CORBA based applications. CORBA ensures transparency to the end user and avoids the chore of network programming.
Orbix/Ada is available for the GNAT Ada compiler on Solaris, Irix 5.3, and Windows NT -- further platform coverage will be available shortly. Orbix also supports C++, Smalltalk, Java, and Microsoft OCXs allowing Ada based components (clients and/or servers) to interoperate with components built with these other languages or OCX-enabled development environments.
