Rogue Wave Hydra uses a core technology and associated methodology called “software pipelines.” Pipelines allow for efficient execution and distribution of software components, or services, for simultaneous processing on available resources. This point-to-point architecture avoids bottlenecks, allowing businesses to achieve new levels of overall throughput and performance. According to research firm ZapThink, by 2010, 50 percent of the total services-oriented software market will have high-performance requirements.

Rogue Wave Hydra will allow developers to address major service-oriented and parallel processing development challenges while capitalizing on existing software assets. Rogue Wave Hydra was created in collaboration with Rogue Wave design partners and is currently in Beta implementation stages with select proof-of-concept (POC) customers in the financial services, telecommunications, call-center, health insurance and software industries.

“Rogue Wave Software brings unique expertise and experience from its years of working with software developers and track record providing tools that allow developers to focus on improving functionality and meeting critical business needs,” said Harvey A. Wagner, president and CEO of Quovadx. “We look forward to leveraging our long-standing expertise in high-performance software and innovative pipelines technology to help our customers create scalable SOA solutions that allow them to take advantage of new business opportunities and drive future growth.”

Hydra will be generally available in March 2006.
