ObjectSwitch Supports Rational Rose Visual Modeling Tool for Telecommunications Application Software Development.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 1999-- ObjectSwitch Corp., the leading provider of network-resident telecommunication, IT and Internet integration application server software today announced full support for Rational Rose(TM), the market leading visual modeling tool from Rational Software Corp. Support for Rational Rose in the recently announced ObjectSwitch 3 server platform enables software developers to utilize powerful visual modeling to create next-generation service applications for telecommunications and network service applications. The ObjectSwitch open architecture environment allows developers to chose the UML tool A UML tool or UML modeling tool is a software application that supports some or all of the notation and semantics associated with the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is the industry standard general purpose modeling language for software engineering. they prefer. It generates 100% of the code for software fault tolerant The ability to continue non-stop when a hardware failure occurs. A fault-tolerant system is designed from the ground up for reliability by building multiples of all critical components, such as CPUs, memories, disks and power supplies into the same computer. , transaction based service applications and enables the integration of multiple network technologies that can scale to support millions of users. This ultra-efficient application development process saves telecom providers countless programmer hours and millions of dollars in the design, deployment and change management life cycle. Rational Rose -- Visual Modeling for Applications Rose supports UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. , the standard language specified by the Object Management Group (OMG (1) See Object Management Group. (2) "Oh my God!" See digispeak. OMG - Object Management Group ). UML results in improved team communication and component-based development has emerged as the most effective design process thus far. Rose developers can model their components and interfaces effectively through component modeling. Required components of a design can be easily reverse engineered to explore the interfaces and interrelationships of other components in the model. Developers simply drag and drop A graphical user interface (GUI) capability that lets you perform operations by moving the icon of an object with the mouse into another window or onto another icon. For example, files can be copied or moved by dragging them from one folder to another. components from a file system onto the component diagram In the Unified Modeling Language, a component diagram depicts how a software system is split up into physical components and shows the dependencies among these components. . This enables reuse, visualization, adaptation and creation of new components for applications. ObjectSwitch Design Center IDE The ObjectSwitch Design Center IDE enables developers to generate change tolerant applications directly from object models. The Design Center combines UML-based modeling and OMG-compliant action specification to generate complete network resident applications directly from models created in Rational Rose or other leading modeling tools. ObjectSwitch Design Center IDE separates business processes from the target implementation. "We are committed to supplying our customers with cost effective application server software solutions that provide optimum next-generation performance, reliability and scalability," said Grover Righter, vice president of marketing for ObjectSwitch. "By supporting Rational Rose we are assuring our customers that they will have powerful tools to manage their development tasks." ObjectSwitch 3 ObjectSwitch 3 is application server software that runs on SUN SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill servers, HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. servers and Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. NT (and future Windows 2000) server for Intel. ObjectSwitch 3 provides powerful run-time services for network-resident applications through software fault tolerance See fault tolerant. (architecture) fault tolerance - 1. The ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults. This often involves some degree of redundancy. 2. , high-speed transactions, pre-built infrastructure, integration for multiple networks, and support for intelligent network services and traffic switching.
