GemStone Systems and Rogue Wave Software Partner to Deliver High-Performance Business Applications

  
    
  
  
    
      GemStone Systems, the leading provider of distributed data management 
      and virtualization solutions, and Rogue Wave Software, a division of 
      Quovadx, Inc. (Nasdaq: QVDX) providing enterprise-class software 
      components and services that facilitate high-performance application 
      development, today announced a technology and business partnership that 
      will allow customers to increase application performance and scalability 
      while lowering operating costs.
    
    
      The combined use of GemFire Enterprise Data Fabric (EDF) with the Rogue 
      Wave® Hydra Suite will solve reliability and 
      latency challenges to accelerate concurrent computing and improve the 
      throughput of high-performance business applications.
    
    
      The Rogue Wave Hydra Suite provides a comprehensive set of tools 
      designed to speed application development and deliver agility and 
      flexibility benefits without sacrificing performance. GemFire Enterprise 
      adds distributed data caching and data management capabilities to the 
      Rogue Wave Hydra service grid, improving data access and distribution to 
      allow intelligent parallel processing across grid and SOA architectures.
    
    
      “Rogue Wave Software chose to partner with 
      GemStone Systems in response to customer requests for high-performance 
      data management solutions in their Rogue Wave Hydra implementations,” 
      said Cory Isaacson, president, Rogue Wave Software. “As 
      more firms turn to distributed environments such as grid and SOA, they 
      are realizing the importance of incorporating distributed data caching 
      and data management capabilities along with concurrent computing and 
      other performance initiatives. The combined force of GemFire and the 
      Rogue Wave Hydra Suite will deliver a comprehensive, scalable solution 
      that will address both data and transaction execution challenges.”
    
    
      The partnership leverages synergies between the GemStone and Rogue Wave 
      Software offerings. GemFire Enterprise pools memory and disk to make 
      data instantly and reliably accessible to multiple Rogue Wave Hydra 
      runtime instances in a distributed environment. The advanced data 
      virtualization, provisioning, and distribution capabilities 
      intelligently feed data into the concurrent Rogue Wave Hydra processing 
      environment and allow end-users to run applications significantly faster 
      while decreasing operating costs. For existing GemFire Enterprise 
      customers, Rogue Wave Hydra provides a high-performance runtime for 
      orchestrating services.
    
    
      “Rogue Wave Software’s 
      reputation for high-performance application development made them an 
      ideal partner for Gemstone,” said Richard 
      Lamb, president, GemStone Systems. “By 
      combining the high-speed data distribution and access of GemFire EDF 
      with Rogue Wave Hydra’s leading service grid 
      software we can offer our shared customers a complete solution that is 
      more powerful than the sum of its parts and one that is designed to 
      deliver significant business value.”
