IONA Artix Connect™

There is a perception within many IT organizations that it is time-consuming and expensive to integrate Microsoft applications with Java and CORBA IT environments. This perception is stifling innovation, and holding organizations back from taking advantage of the capabilities found in the latest Microsoft solutions. IONA overcomes this perception with Artix Connect for WCF, a product that enables organizations to quickly and cost-effectively integrate Microsoft technologies with legacy investments so they can unlock the value of their IT environments.

Artix Connect for WCF accelerates innovation by making heterogeneous enterprise IT environments interoperate with the latest Microsoft applications. The product enables companies to leverage existing investments in Java and CORBA right from within the Visual Studio development environment. The product’s extensive transport support lets programmers connect to and use Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) within existing J2EE application servers without requiring any changes to those servers. This no-impact approach to J2EE integration is based on the standard RMI/IIOP transport, supported by all EJB 2.0-compliant J2EE application servers on the market.

IT decision makers no longer need to choose between Java and Microsoft, or discard existing J2EE application servers or legacy systems that use CORBA. Instead, they can access these systems directly from the Microsoft .NET runtime using C# or Microsoft Visual Basic® without requiring custom adapters, gateway services or Java skills.
