PrismTech™, a leader in high-performance middleware and development tools, is joining forces with Hitex, a specialist embedded systems company, to deliver much-needed low-latency, real-time data integration solutions. As part of its software offerings, Hitex will partner with PrismTech to deliver PrismTech’s best-in-class OpenSplice™ DDS (Data Distribution Service) middleware to vertical markets across Northern Europe.
OpenSplice DDS is an extremely high performance, real-time publish/subscribe, middleware which is able to address both Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and net-centric applications. OpenSplice DDS was originally developed for demanding mission-critical defense and aerospace systems but its unique ability to provide predictable, low-latency, reliable high-throughput data dissemination across distributed systems is increasingly being recognized in many other industry sectors such as financial services, manufacturing, SCADA, transportation, and telecommunications.
“We offer a ‘one-stop’ service with a team of experienced specialists delivering solutions that fit today’s demanding application requirements,” said Mike Beach, managing director, Hitex. “We are extremely pleased to be able to work with PrismTech. OpenSplice DDS is a perfect complement to our existing software portfolio and provides us with a proven solution to meet the growing need for highly reliable data-centric integration within the embedded systems of the industries we serve.”
“We are very pleased to be able to work with Hitex as we see the applicability of OpenSplice DDS rapidly expanding from its initial defense and aerospace market,” said Steve Jennis, SVP, Corporate Development, PrismTech. “We are experiencing growing interest in manufacturing, transportation, and financial services — sectors where Hitex’s embedded systems expertise will complement our solution extremely well.”
OpenSplice DDS complies with the full profile of the “OMG™ DDS for Real-Time Systems v1.2 Specification”, as it provides a complete implementation of both the Data Centric Publish/Subscribe Layer and the Data Local Reconstruction Layer. This sets OpenSplice DDS apart as the leading OMG DDS-compliant COTS product available on the market.
