“While other companies were struggling to offer their first
application servers for Linux, earlier this week,
Inprise/Borland (Nasdaq: INPR) delivered the second version of its
award-winning Inprise Application Server (IAS) and VisiBroker
object request broker (ORB) for CORBA to enterprise customers for
the Linux, Solaris and Windows platforms. Inprise/Borland’s
IAS and VisiBroker products, originally launched in October 1999
for the Linux operating system, have more than 150 Fortune 1000
companies deploying Inprise/Borland’s technology.”
“Since last October, Inprise/Borland’s technology has been
providing a solid foundation for customers to deploy
industrial-strength Internet-applications with full support for
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and CORBA technology. This technology
allows companies whose business models are based around a large
number of transactions to closely integrate their existing systems
with the new EJB environment. IAS also includes support for
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and includes a transaction
manager.”
“Inprise/Borland is committed to providing our customers with an
end-to-end solution for creating, deploying and managing Web-based
applications for any platform,” said Thomas Torf, vice president
and general manager of the Enterprise business unit at
