SUNNYVALE, Calif., 15 Feb. 2012. Real-Time Innovations (RTI) in Sunnyvale, Calif., is introducing the RTI Connext family of software-engineering tools to connect real-time software applications across an enterprise. RTI Connext is a service-oriented architecture (SOA) tool designed to help provide enterprise-wide integration to improve efficiency, responsiveness, and real-time business intelligence, RTI officials say.

SOA refers to principles and methodologies for building software as interoperable services designed as software components that can be reused for different purposes. Aerospace and defense contractors use SOA systems development and integration.

RTI Connext addresses messaging and integration in software development, and connects operational systems with the enterprise data center.

RTI Connext includes RTI Connext Integrator for rapid integration of operational systems with enterprise-wide IT without requiring modification to those systems; RTI Connext Messaging that provides a universal messaging infrastructure for enhancing performance in real-time systems; RTI Connext Micro small-footprint messaging for resource-constrained devices and high-assurance applications; and the RTI Connext DDS implementation of the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS).

RTI Connext will be available in March, while RTI Connext DDS is available now. For more information contact RTI online at www.rti.com.
