PrismTech Moves Market-Leading Proven DDS Solution to Open Source as Eclipse Cyclone
PrismTech™, a global leader in software platforms for distributed
systems, today announced that it is expanding its Vortex™ DDS product
portfolio to offer the open source option "Eclipse Cyclone." With
support from the Eclipse Foundation and its open source ecosystem,
Eclipse Cyclone represents a genuinely open source data distribution
solution with full source code access and updates.
For users that are building mission- and/or business-critical systems,
the company also offers a commercially supported version with extra
features and guarantees of support.
As part of this effort, the company is undergoing a strategic marketing
and enhanced branding initiative to more precisely reflect its core
offerings and value proposition, amplify its relationship with parent
company ADLINK, and serve as a leader in embedded edge computing and
distributed systems.
"Expanding to open source is an efficient, effective and logical
solution to address the industry's challenges of moving data in a high
performance, distributed system," said Rob Risany, Executive Vice
President, IoT Strategy and Business Solutions, ADLINK Technology (News - Alert).
"Whether standard open source or additional support is required, we are
providing customers with the future proofing and scalability made
possible through our powerful, elegant DDS solutions."
With the launch of Eclipse Cyclone, PrismTech's product portfolio will
include the product lines Eclipse Cyclone, Vortex DDS, Vortex Edge and
Spectra™. Eclipse Cyclone and Vortex DDS are built on the Object
Management Group®'s (OMG®) Data-Distribution Sevice™ (DDS™) open
standard and Spectra is built on the Software Communications
Architecture (SCA) open architecture.
With the anticipated exponential growth of the Industrial IoT and the
continued trajectory away from siloed, proprietary technologies that
support these high performance distributed systems, an open source
strategy allows the company to fuel innovation and serve a more diverse
customer base. DDS, which is managed by the OMG and is specifically
designed for high performance distributed systems, is widely deployed in
some of the most mission-critical systems throughout the defense,
air-traffic control, telecommunications and financial industries.
"With the continued growth of the Industrial IoT, 5G, artificial
intelligence and autonomous machine technology, we fully anticipate DDS
to serve as the data sharing platform of choice," said Risany. "Quite
frankly, its strengths such as responsiveness, scalability and fault
tolerance are just too compelling."
The company will be announcing the project proposal of Eclipse Cyclone
at EclipseCon Europe Oct. 24-26 in Germany.
"Open source technologies are driving the IoT industry and providing the
core technologies within advanced, distributed systems," said Mike
Milinkovich, Executive Director at Eclipse Foundation. "With this new
strategy, the PrismTech-ADLINK team is firmly positioning itself in a
lead role in enabling innovation and market growth for these types of
systems, and allowing the Eclipse IoT developer community to work with
these advanced, leading edge technologies."
