Rogue Wave Software Supports Sun's Solaris 10 OS; Offering Enables Enterprises to Quickly Develop and Migrate Applications on Solaris 10

Posted on: Tuesday, 21 December 2004, 09:00 CST

BOULDER, Colo. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rogue Wave Software, a division of Quovadx, Inc. and Sun Microsystems, Inc. , 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."
