Rogue Wave Hydra Announced
Rogue Wave Hydra has been announced this week. Here's the product description from Rogue Wave's web site:
|
Rogue Wave Hydra is a standards-based distributed SOA framework that enables an order of magnitude performance improvement in your enterprise applications–new or existing. |
I have been working with an early access version of Hydra for a few weeks now and I'm pretty excited about its potential. It allows massively scalable business processes to be built using a pipeline concept where tasks can be executed in parrallel. I'm still getting up to speed with the capabilities of the product but its certainly very powerful from what I have seen so far. It's quite a different concept from many of the other SOA products I have worked with and its clear that Rogue Wave have put a lot of thought into their approach.
The main reason I am working with Hydra is to add support to FireStorm/DAO so that developers can generate DAO services that can be accessed by Hydra processes.
There is a nice flash presentation that gives a concise overview of Rogue Wave Hydra.
