ORBexpress: the small, fast, reliable product family of ORBs
The ORBexpress product family is Objective Interface's high-performance implementation of CORBA technology. By using a standards-based solution, you can build applications that are highly portable and interoperable. Using a commercially supported ORB means your developers can focus on application development, not system code. ORBexpress provides a standards-based alternative to in-house, proprietary communication protocols while adding minimal overhead and footprint to your applications. It enables software developers to simplify the development of distributed software applications, build scalable, efficient and robust applications, and reduce overall development time meeting time-to-market requirements.

Optimized for use in the real-time, embedded, and high-performance development environment, the ORBexpress product family combines performance with extreme reliability. From the ground up, ORBexpress has been designed to provide developers with a small footprint ORB, which is fast, predictable and reliable.

The Product Family
The ORBexpress product family includes two customized products:

• ORBexpress RT, our flagship product, is a uniquely powerful environment for creating high performance, high-reliability, distributed software components. ORBexpress RT goes beyond the CORBA Real-Time 1.0 standard and was designed to accommodate hard real-time requirements including predictable time behavior, support for different levels of Quality of Service, and plug-in custom transports.
