-
- There is a product from a startup called HyperDesk which is their implementation
- of a Distributed Object Management System (a DOMS is the ORB plus some of the
- as-yet-un-standardized services on top of the ORB). As far as I know, this is
- the only product on the market which conforms completely to the OMG ORB 1.1
-
- A number of companies are working on implementations (e.g. Sun, NCR, HP, IBM?,
- etc.) DEC's product may implement the complete ORB spec now (last time I looked
- at it it did not support the static interface...can anyone give an update?).
- As far as I know, a number of the other companies expect to deploy their ORB
- and DOMS products during 1993 (originally claims were for early '93 but I
- expect this software will be like most other software and come out 1-3 quarters
- later than originally announced).
-
- NOTE: I'm not affliated with any of the aforementioned companies except as a
- current or potential customer. However, I do represent my company to the OMG.
