eCube Systems, a leading provider of development products for enterprise

NXTera is the next evolution of the Entera middleware product, which is
widely
used with HP-UX, Solaris, Windows and IBM AIX in many Fortune 500 companies to
quickly develop high performance distributed applications. NXTera delivers
ease of development, unprecedented performance, and integration with
contemporary architectures such as CORBA, J2EE and Web Services.
In conjunction with the recent SGI Global Developer Program conference
theme
"The Best of Both Worlds", NXTera enables developers to quickly develop new
applications on 64-bit Linux and IRIX OS-based systems.
NXTera's powerful Entera lineage, expertise in distributed computing and
legacy transformation allows eCube to extend technology investments by:
- Enabling SGI and open source developers to employ the n-tier paradigm to
scientific problems and provide techniques to quickly develop and test new
distributed scientific applications.

developing/maintaining DCE-based applications
"This strategic alliance with eCube provides products that make programmers
developing SGI and Linux OS-based applications more productive," said Melissa
Schumann, manager of the SGI Global Developer Program. This alliance will
benefit technical and creative companies in our key markets of government and
defense, sciences, manufacturing, energy, and media by further increasing the
ROI for existing SGI systems.
"This development technology has been very successful in the business
community," says Kevin Barnes, president and CEO, eCube Systems. "Providing
the same benefits in performance and productivity to engineering and
scientific applications is one of our primary goals with NXTera."
