Rogue Wave® Hydra Suite

High Performance Business Applications

The Rogue Wave® Hydra Suite is a suite of products for developing and deploying high performance business applications. The Suite consists of HydraEnterprise, HydraExpress, and HydraSDO™ working together to deliver the agility and flexibility benefits a service oriented architecture (SOA) inherently provides, without sacrificing the high performance businesses require.

The Rogue Wave® Hydra Suite products can work standalone or integrated together in an efficient service framework:

Organizations building high performance business applications in distributed multicore environments are faced with significant challenges today, including:

  • How do they address the "Multicore Dilemma" – enterprise applications that will not scale effectively on multicore hardware without rewriting for multi-threading?
  • How do they modernize legacy applications to ready them for multicore environments without using low level parallel computing techniques or investing in expensive, expert development resources?
  • How do they achieve high availability and significant performance increases, while maintaining the flexibility of a service-oriented environment?

The good news is that Rogue Wave® Hydra is uniquely designed to address all of these challenges while saving money.

The Rogue Wave® Hydra Suite delivers a scalable service grid for high performance business applications delivered with a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

What is a Service Grid?

A 'Service Grid' is a distributed application environment for business applications and:

  • Is based on SOA principles, technologies, and standards
  • Delivers a mechanism for scaling on multi-core, multi-CPU, and multi-server systems
  • Enables integration of disparate technologies, programming languages and systems
  • Provides self-healing functionality

It's important to point out what a "Service Grid" is not. A service grid:

  • Works with an ESB but is not an ESB itself
  • Works with application servers but is not an application server itself
  • Works well with Web services but is also able to support local service calls

Rogue Wave® Hydra is a service grid that provides these additional capabilities:

  • Host services written in different programming languages including C++, Java, BPEL
  • Support for SOA standards like SCA (service component architecture) and SDO (service data object)
  • Eclipse plug-ins for development and configuration
  • Service Level Instrumentation (SLI) for configurable data feeds for real-time monitoring
