SunSoft abandons ORB business Sharon Gaudin MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- SunSoft is getting out of the object request broker (ORB)business and directing its 600 corporate ORB customers toward Visigenic Software, Inc.'s VisiBroker. Sun will is discontinue its NEO Object Request Broker and point customers to a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) solution. An ORB is the electronic bus that carries requests and information between clients and disparate back-end servers. SunSoft, a division of Sun Microsystems, Inc., is pushing Joe, another ORB offering, off to its sister division, JavaSoft. "It helps unify the CORBA message with Sun recommending a fully CORBA 2.0-compliant ORB," said Pat Kremer, director of partner marketing at Visigenic. He added that Visigenic will give a 50% discount to any Sun customers who want to replace their NEO licenses with VisiBroker. Sorry for the previous screw up.
