ANGALORE: Internet Component Management Group (iCMG) has released K2 Component Server v1.0 and thus become first commercial vendor in the world to implement CORBA Component Model (CORBA 3.0 specification from OMG) with special thrust on robust, scalability, reliability and enhanced QoS in the area of Middleware Transaction & Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).
K2 Component Server provides first generation of CCM Server to build highly scalable and distributed applications and K2 CCM Containers will provide an ideal run-time environment for imbuing quality of service (QoS) capabilities into CCM components.
Throughout 1999, there were only two server-side, transaction processing-oriented component models: the MTS/COM+ model and Sun's EJB model. Though CCM was adopted in 1999, it took nearly 18 months before first implementation of CCM has come to market. CCM concentrates on issues that must be addressed to provide a complete Server side middle ware component model. It supports standard EJB components, and also components developed in C, C++, Ada, Smalltalk, or even Cobol.
K2 is the Single enterprise component infrastructure that enables inter-working among EJB components with CORBA components and vice-versa.
The K2 Component Server gives developers the ability to quickly build, deploy and manage web-enabled enterprise scale e-commerce applications while leveraging the industrial strength of CORBA.
