Rogue Wave Software Supports Suns Solaris 10 OS
1 January 1970Rogue Wave Software, a division of Quovadx, Inc. (Nasdaq: QVDX) and Sun
Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW), today announced an alliance designed to
help developers easily migrate legacy applications to Sun's Solaris(TM) 10
Operating System (OS). Rogue Wave Software will certify its entire suite of
high-performance development tools to the Solaris 10 OS, for both SPARC(R) and
AMD Opteron processor-based systems. These certified tools will allow
organizations, particularly in the financial services, telecommunications and
government sectors, to both migrate their existing Windows applications and to
develop new applications that will take advantage of the performance and
reliability of Solaris 10.
"Sun is working aggressively to secure a competitive market advantage with
Solaris 10. With its support of multiple platforms, superior performance, and
competitive pricing model, we believe this new version of Solaris will quickly
make a mark as a key operating system for our customers, particularly on Wall
Street," said Thomas Gaunt, vice president of worldwide sales and strategic
alliances, Rogue Wave Software. "Many of the applications being migrated today
by financial services companies were developed using the Rogue Wave(R)
SourcePro(R) C++ Suite. With some financial services companies having upwards
of 200 million lines of code, it's imperative that their developers have the
tools they need to speed the migration process."
Through the agreement, Rogue Wave Software will port and certify its
enterprise C++ development toolkits including SourcePro(R) Core, SourcePro(R)
Net, SourcePro(R) DB, SourcePro(R) Analysis and Rogue Wave(R) LEIF on the
Solaris 10 OS, both 32 and 64-bit. The agreement includes support, ongoing
certification, quality assurance and regression testing.
"Financial Services customers are telling us they need Rogue Wave Software
on Solaris 10 for the x86 platform," said Stuart Wells, senior vice president
for Sun's Financial Services Industry practice. "Rogue Wave's products play a
critical role in the middleware infrastructure segment, and our alliance with
them is a key milestone in our strategy to provide Wall Street customers with
the tools they need to make this transition as smooth as possible."
