Rogue Wave Software and Sun Team Up for Solaris 10 OS

Rogue Wave Software (www.roguewave.com), a division of Quovadx, Inc. (Nasdaq: QVDX) and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (sun.com), today announced an alliance designed to help developers easily migrate legacy applications to Sun's Solaris 10 Operating System (OS).

"Financial Services customers are telling us they need Rogue Wave Software on Solaris 10 for the x86 platform," said Stuart Wells, senior vice president for Sun's Financial Services Industry practice.

These certified tools will allow organizations, particularly in the financial services, telecommunications and government sectors, to both migrate their existing Windows applications and to develop new applications that will take advantage of the performance and reliability of Solaris 10.

"Sun is working aggresively to secure a competitive market advantage with Solaris 10. With its support of multiple platforms, superior performance, and competitive pricing model, we believe this new version of Solaris will quickly make a mark as a key operating system for our customers, particularly on Wall Street," said Thomas Gaunt, vice president of worldwide sales and strategic alliances, Rogue Wave Software.

Through the agreement, Rogue Wave Software will port and certify its enterprise C++ development toolkits including SourcePro® Core, SourcePro® Net, SourcePro® DB, SourcePro® Analysis and Rogue Wave® LEIF on the Solaris 10 OS, both 32 and 64-bit. The agreement includes support, ongoing certification, quality assurance and regression testing.
