Migration to CORBA
INM Broadband Release 4.1 is the transition release of the INM product
portfolio to use the CORBA technology.
CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is a multivendor
standard for object-oriented distributed computing. CORBA technology is
based on specifications defined by the Object Management Group (OMG).
Using CORBA, INM structures the basic components of applications into
software entities called building blocks (BBs) in the same way as INA.
However, CORBA provides a more portable environment and allows INM to
eventually provide multi-platform support of applications.
Each building block is built, installed and maintained as a separate unit. It
supplies interfaces, called contracts, that allow client software applications to
access its core functionalities.
In the CORBA architecture, which is based on object-oriented methodology, a
distributed application is composed of objects that interact with each other.
CORBA offers several practical advantages over the traditional OS
architecture:
•
Multi-vendor support
•
Building Block structure which allows software portability
•
Distributed computing technology that allows business to grow and deploy
work force when and where needed
•
Rapid and flexible introduction of new technology and services.
