Case Study: Alebra achieves rapid Linux porting and true cross-platform PDM support with Rogue Wave Software's SourcePro

Satisfying customer demands without sacrificing business value

Alebra, a provider of enterprise host-connectivity products including the Parallel Data Mover (PDM), needed to add Linux support to meet rising customer demand and make PDM a truly cross-platform offering. Faced with the requirement to rapidly port mission-critical C++ applications to Red Hat and SuSE Linux while minimizing developer time spent on low-level coding, Alebra selected SourcePro from Rogue Wave Software to address portability, reusable components, and faster time-to-market.

Rogue Wave Software delivered SourcePro’s proven C++ standard library and components—portable, thread-safe, and fully tested across Linux, Windows, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX—which enabled Alebra to quickly and easily port PDM to Linux. As a result, Alebra satisfied customer requests for Linux support, solidified PDM’s cross-platform position, and freed developers to focus on product value rather than low-level porting, shortening the effort and accelerating delivery.
