Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 1997--TIBCO Inc., the leading provider of publish/subscribe middleware and a 10-year veteran of push technologies, today announced the immediate availability of TIB/Rendezvous 3.0, a new release of TIBCO's advanced messaging software for push computing. A growing number of companies have announced plans to incorporate TIB/Rendezvous into their push computing products and solutions. These companies include Cisco Systems “Cisco” redirects here.

"The development of a consistent messaging foundation will undoubtedly foster more rapid adoption of push computing," said Edward Acly, director of Middleware Research of International Data Corporation (IDC), a leading information technology market research and consulting firm Noun 1. consulting firm - a firm of experts providing professional advice to an organization for a fee consulting company business firm, firm, house - the members of a business organization that owns or operates one or more establishments; "he worked for a . "TIBCO's publish/subscribe technology is a widely adopted platform for highly scalable push computing." TIB/Rendezvous, which is based on TIBCO's patented publish/subscribe and reliable multicast technologies, provides a platform for efficient, large-scale information or content distribution over private networks or the Internet. These technologies allow a single message to make its way through the "plumbing" of the network to thousands of users or subscribers, rather than sending the same message thousands of times to thousands of users. The TIBCO TIBCO The Information Bus Company publish/subscribe model can reduce network traffic by as much as 50 percent. "TIB/Rendezvous is the foundation for push computing applications in over 400 companies," said Vivek Ranadive, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of TIBCO. "The current enhancements to TIB/Rendezvous make it an essential element of any highly scalable push computing product." TIB/Rendezvous ActiveX/Java Integration TIB/Rendezvous enables event-driven communication between software objects and Java applets. Developers can easily implement interactive applications between, for example, a Java applet in a browser and Microsoft Excel. TIB/Rendezvous ActiveX support provides developers with access to the TIB/Rendezvous messaging infrastructure from Visual Basic, Visual C++ and PowerBuilder for 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. application development. To add a TIB/Rendezvous ActiveX control to an application, developers simply drag it from the tool palette and drop it onto a Visual Basic form, or a similar GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. component in another development environment. TIB/Rendezvous builds on the previous release, Java-Powered Rendezvous, by providing a Java language interface for use in applets within browsers. Within TIB/Rendezvous, browsers download TIB/Rendezvous applets from the web server, and those applets connect back to the TIB/Rendezvous agent process on the web server host. The agent process represents the applets, acting as their intermediary for communications with the internal network. The agent adds a layer of security, protecting the web server host and the internal network from unauthorized applets. The need for the agent arises from security concerns related to Java applets and independent applications; network administrators retain complete control over the TIB/Rendezvous Agent, along with its use of LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , file and computational resources on the home network. The agent also provides a check against inappropriate requests, by checking and filtering all requests from Java programs. TIB/Rendezvous Certified Messaging TIB/Rendezvous now provides publishers and subscribers with Certified Messaging. Compared to reliable or "optimistic" messaging, Certified Messaging guarantees subscriber receipt of messages sent by publishers over the network. TIB/Rendezvous gives developers tighter control of event notification and greater flexibility for messaging. Principal benefits include: Certainty: every message reaches each intended recipient in the order sent, in spite of network, system or PC failures; senders and listeners receive explicit information about each undelivered undelivered adj → no entregado al destinatario; if undelivered return to sender → en caso de no llegar a su destino devolver al, remitente undelivered message Convenience: continuous delivery attempts until delivery succeeds, or until the message's time limit expires Control: applications determine an explicit time limit for each message TIB/Rendezvous Fault Tolerance Software TIB/Rendezvous Fault Tolerance provides developers with a toolkit for building hot standy processes into software applications. If an active process stops functioning, TIB/Rendezvous Fault Tolerance software directs a back-up process to function in its place. This capability maintains high reliability, eliminating costly application and user downtime. About TIBnet TIB/Rendezvous is the messaging infrastructure for the TIBnet family of products, which are the software components used to build content management systems for the Internet and intranets. Applications written to the TIB/Rendezvous API will be compatible with TIBnet. The family of products is a comprehensive set of tools for developers to build publish/subscribe applications, for firewall administrators to deploy publish/subscribe solutions inside their corporate infrastructure, and for Internet service providers Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. to deploy large publish/subscribe networks.

(R) (The Information Bus(R)) technology. A highly sophisticated program-to-program interface and communications platform, TIB technology enables applications to publish information, such as stock prices or competitive data, to other applications which express an interest in the information. Utilizing TIBCO's Subject-Based Addressing(TM), TIB technology directs messages to their destinations over local networks or the Internet, so that application processes can communicate without details of network addresses or connections. TIBCO's products use TIB technology to provide organizations with a proven middleware infrastructure for handling complex, distributed messaging efficiently and reliably. TIBCO's core middleware products include TIB/Rendezvous, an API toolkit that allows C, C++ and Java programmers to quickly develop and deploy distributed applications with robust messaging capabilities.
