Partner Support of BEA WebLogic Server(R) 9.0 Kicks Into High Gear

BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS), a world leader in infrastructure software, today announced that its BEA WebLogic Server(R) 9.0, currently available in beta and scheduled for general availability later this summer, has already garnered impressive support from key industry partners. Code-named Diablo, WebLogic Server 9.0 is
designed to provide an optimal foundation for businesses seeking to build and manage a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) with speed, confidence and efficiency. When paired with the lightning fast and highly manageable engine, BEA JRockit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), the result is the most powerful, reliable release yet of a world-leading application server.

BEA WebLogic Server 9.0 beta is compliant with J2EE 1.4 and the latest Web services standards and multiple programming models, which helps allow developers to more quickly create portable and interoperable applications and deliver unparalleled quality-of-service across the enterprise. WebLogic Server 9.0 will be the cornerstone of the upcoming BEA WebLogic Platform(TM) 9.0 -- which is designed to be the industry's only completely unified platform for building SOA-based applications that helps allow IT to swiftly deliver innovative business services.

SOA is a new architectural approach to Information Technology (IT) that is organized around services, not applications, to help meet business needs with greater efficiency. Built on technology standards, these services can be created once and widely leveraged, which can result in costs savings and greater reuse of information assets to enable effective information sharing across multiple departments and business functions.

WebLogic Server 9.0 is being designed to help benefit enterprises by driving down their costs associated with hardware, software and labor. WebLogic Server 9.0 will help them improve their ability to rapidly develop
and deploy very high-volume, minimal-disruption applications in a SOA. In addition, WebLogic Server 9.0 is being designed to help reduce complexity and lower the total cost of ownership of customers' systems through efficient, streamlined, easy-to-use management features.

"Partner response has been extremely encouraging. If the success of our beta program is any indication, we expect our latest version of WebLogic Server to play an integral role bringing SOA to mainstream IT projects," said
Wai Wong, executive vice president, products, BEA Systems. "9.0 is designed to deliver a high-performance IT foundation to help speed customers to a service- driven enterprise and be more responsive in meeting its business needs."
