VIBE AVAILABLE ON OS/2
Visix Software Extends Platform Support for Powerful Java Development Tool
Reston, VA, September 19, 1997 -- Visix Software Inc., a leading provider of
enterprise application development and deployment solutions, today announced
the general availability of Vibe Enterprise for Windows 95, Windows NT x86,
Windows NT Alpha, Solaris, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Macintosh and OS/2. Visix
also announced the general availability of Vibe DE for Macintosh, OS/2, Windows
NT Alpha, HP-UX and IRIX. Vibe DE is already available for development on
Windows 95, Windows NT x86, Linux, AIX and Solaris.
"Java developers are currently limited in their choice of development
platforms," said Bob Flury, Visix Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales,
Marketing and Services. "Visix recognizes that people who develop on
Macintosh, OS/2 and UNIX need Java development solutions too. With the
addition of these new platforms, we address the needs of this community that
other vendors often ignore."
Vibe Enterprise enables Java developers to build powerful database
applications. Vibe Enterprise leverages Vibe DE, an Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) with a collection of powerful classes used to build and
deploy Java-based business solutions ranging from standalone departmental
applications to sophisticated distributed applications. Since March, over
100,000 copies of Vibe have been distributed worldwide.
The Vibe IDE includes an intuitive user interface, a compiler, debugger,
editing tools, interface construction tools and extensive runtime classes. It
enables developers to do rapid prototyping, immediate testing and development
of business-critical Java applications for deployment across multiple desktop
and server platforms. Vibe Enterprise adds additional tools and classes for
Forms and Fields, database connectivity and a Graphical Query Builder.
Vibe is designed to maximize code reuse by leveraging Visix's mature foundation
classes, which also form the basis of Visix's flagship C/C++ product, the
Galaxy Application Environment. To gain additional productivity through reuse,
Vibe enables organizations to incorporate their investments in standard
distributed object technologies through application integration with ActiveX
controls.
Platforms, Pricing, Availability
Vibe DE is available at the introductory price of $299. Vibe Enterprise is
available at $1995.00. Both products are available for development and
deployment on Windows 95, Windows NT x86, Windows NT Alpha, Solaris, AIX,
Linux, Macintosh, OS/2, HP-UX, and IRIX platforms. All platforms will be
shipping within 30 days.
