Hydra Suite: Runtime and Infrastructure
Service Grid for High Performance SOA
The Rogue Wave® Hydra Suite delivers a scalable service grid for high
performance business applications delivered with a Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA). The Hydra Suite consists of HydraSCA, HydraExpress,
and HydraSDO™ working together in an efficient service grid that is
designed to deliver the agility and flexibility benefits a SOA
inherently provides, without sacrificing the high performance businesses
require. Our Rogue Wave® Hydra Suite delivers the latest Service
Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Object (SDO) standards
along with C++ Web Services based on the well-established SOAP and WSDL
standards.
The Rogue Wave Hydra Suite products can work standalone or integrated
together in an efficient service grid:
-
HydraSCA - Runtime for High
Performance SOA Applications
-
HydraSDO - High
Performance Data Access
-
HydraExpress -
High-Performance C++ Web Services
Runtime for your High Performance SOA Business
Applications
Rogue Wave® HydraSCA is the first commercially available product
based on the Service Component Architecture (SCA) specification.
HydraSCA allows professional developers to construct individual
components and tie them together in powerful, agile business
processes and enable them to run concurrently - without re-writing
for multi-threading.

GUI Development
Quickly Build Professional Windows GUIs
Rogue Wave Stingray® delivers integrated and reusable GUI components
with a familiar Microsoft look-and-feel that are designed to handle the
low-level details of user-interface application development. The
components are proven, easy to use, shorten development time and make it
easier to maintain and evolve GUI applications.
Overview
Comprehensive GUI Development Solutions
Rogue Wave solidifies its leadership in Enterprise C++ with
Stingray®. The Stingray product line was built by GUI application
development experts to provide a broad set of flexible, comprehensive
components. These components handle the details of GUI functionality and
allow developers to focus on end-user requirements and the business
logic of an application.
Advanced Look and Feel
Stingray components provide rich interfaces that can be used to mimic
the look and feel of Microsoft applications such as Excel®, Chart®,
Visio®, Visual Studio® and Outlook®. Stingray's libraries of MFC
extension classes work seamlessly with other technologies, like ActiveX®
and the Microsoft .NET® framework, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
environments.
Faster Time-to-Market
Stingray's highly reusable user interface components provide advanced
functionality that integrates with existing code. It increases developer
productivity and accelerates time-to-market resulting in a reduction of
costs, schedule risk, and reliability issues.
Success Story
An international hardware and software vendor needed to port a DOS
IDE to Windows® as quickly as possible. They used Stingray's Objective
Edit and Toolkit components to develop an elegant user interface that is
fully integrated into the Windows operating system. Objective Edit was
used to implement a robust editor with syntax highlighting while
Objective Toolkit enhanced the user interface by providing easy access
to advanced Windows management functionality. The product shipped and
Stingray saved developers six months of coding time.
Stingray's advanced UI development technology makes a difference in
today's fast-paced development cycles.
