Rational expands support for Linux, ports to Intel IA-64

Johannesburg, 15 Feb 2000

Rational Software, the e-development company represented locally by CCH Software Development, has announced its commitment to support teams developing software for the Internet using Linux. As part of this commitment, Rational is to work with Intel to port its e-development solution to Linux64 (Trillian), Monterey64 and 64-bit Windows 2000, all running on the IA-64 family of processors.

As a result, customers developing software for the Internet will be able to build next-generation applications that harness the advanced processing power of IA-64 using Linux, Monterey and Windows 2000.

Rational will expand its Linux support to provide a comprehensive solution for Linux software development on IA-64. Rational currently has products that support the development of software for Linux, including Rational ClearCase 4.0, which provides complete software configuration management for distributed teams, and Rational Rose RealTime, which provides UML-based visual modeling for embedded software development.

"Rational customers are starting to embrace Linux as a scalable platform for developing Internet software, but still face the e-software paradox - the need to develop higher quality software in Internet time," says Themi Themistocleous, MD of Eikon Software at CCH Software Development. "Rational is aimong to provide a complete lifecycle solution on Linux, Monterey and Windows 2000 to help customers embrace Intel`s IA-64 architecture."

Rational`s e-development offerings enable customers to build higher quality Internet applications in reduced time through a one-stop integration of unified tools, services and software engineering best practices. Rational helps organisations deliver software in three major segments: e-business, e-infrastructure and e-devices.

Rational`s flagship products include the Rational Suite family, Rational ClearCase and the Rational Unified Process. Together these integrated products form a comprehensive platform for e-development that speeds
