Object Computing Inc. (OCI) announces the availability of commercial support for JacORB, an open source, high performance, implementation of CORBA 2.

St. Louis, MO - June 14th 2001 - OCI announced today that it has commenced providing support for the open source Java ORB known as JacORB. This highly rated object request broker (ORB) has been developed over the last few years to meet the challenging needs of the Java market for a CORBA compliant middleware product. It already has a large user base, which is expected to expand rapidly as a commercial support model is implemented. The hallmark of this Java ORB is its wide platform availability combined with absence of license fees. Many of JacORB's potential users have been reluctant to progress beyond the evaluation stage until they could be sure of quality commercial support. This announcement by OCI meets that need.
