IONA's Orbix is the world's leading technology for Making Software Work Together(tm). Orbix is based on the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (standard, programming) Common Object Request Broker Architecture - (CORBA) An Object Management Group specification which provides a standard messaging interface between distributed objects. The original CORBA specification (1. (CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global (r)) industry standard which defines a means for different software components, systems and applications to work together. OrbixWeb extends the functionality of Orbix to Java developers offering the complete solution to building CORBA applications for the Internet. The OSD agreement heralds the development of a long-term relationship between IONA Technologies IONA Technologies, NASDAQ: IONA, began life as a campus company in Trinity College, Dublin and was founded by Chris Horn, Annrai O'Toole, Colin Newman and Seán Baker.[1][2] IONA maintains headquarter offices in Dublin, Boston and Tokyo. and Dassault Systemes with a strong emphasis on strategic technological exchanges within the realms of distributed object Distributed objects are software modules that are designed to work together, but reside either in multiple computers connected via a network or in different processes inside the same computer. technology. Embedding IONA's Orbix middleware technology in Dassault Systemes products will enable organizations to benefit from seamlessly integrated IT systems distributed across diverse or complex computing environments and through the Internet and Corporate Intranet. The technology agreement between both parties will also facilitate the development of complementary third party solutions, particularly within the CAD/CAM/CAE, Product and Process Data Management and Network Computing markets.
