"We achieved year-over-year and sequential license revenue growth in Q2. In the first half of this year, our core BEA WebLogic Server license revenue grew faster than industry analysts' projections for the application server market," said Alfred Chuang, chairman and chief executive officer, BEA Systems, Inc. "BEA is on the move. We are making strides in our existing product portfolio while delivering a new product family that leverages our performance lead in the core application server market and opens opportunities for BEA in new growth markets."

"We delivered innovative releases in all three of our product families. In BEA WebLogic Server 9.0, we continue to extend the company's price/performance and innovation leadership in the application server market," said Chuang. "We also launched the new BEA AquaLogic family of service infrastructure products that help customers to go from pilot to production in their Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) projects. We are encouraged by the level of customer interest in both the BEA AquaLogic product family and BEA SOA consulting services. We released Tuxedo 9.0, which features more seamless integration with both the WebLogic and AquaLogic product families. And as a final point, we are excited by the initial customer adoption of the WebLogic Communications Platform, from cable and telephone service providers, in support of projects like VoIP services."

BEA Ships New Products Designed to Improve Efficiency for Customers on the Path to SOA and Integrated Data/IT Networks

BEA continued to enhance and extend its product offerings to provide support for SOA. SOA is an approach to software application development designed to transform business applications into "services" that can be combined and reused in new ways, which helps IT organizations more closely align with business processes.

During the second quarter, BEA delivered WebLogic Server 9.0, which includes an enterprise-grade kernel that supports multiple programming models. This unique kernel features clustering, security, management, caching and virtual machine technologies. These features are designed to help make WebLogic Server faster, more scalable and more reliable than any application server in today's market. Notable features in this version are "side-by-side" application deployment, which is designed to allow applications to be upgraded in a running server without causing any downtime. Also, WebLogic Server 9.0 includes "hot patch" functionality, which is designed to allow the server to be upgraded without disruption. WebLogic Server 9.0 set a new record SPECjAppServer 2004 price/performance benchmark, achieving a record throughput, using only half the application server CPUs and memory required for the previous record.

In addition, during the second quarter, BEA delivered BEA AquaLogic Service Bus 2.0, a key part of BEA's market-leading Service Infrastructure product family. BEA AquaLogic Service Bus is designed to help cost-effectively connect, configure and manage services. This helps simplify and accelerate deployment of SOA in heterogeneous environments. The service infrastructure category makes it possible for services to be discovered, secured, managed and assembled into composite applications and processes, regardless of the underlying technologies. BEA AquaLogic Service Bus offers intelligent messaging, routing and transformation that can support heterogeneous end-points, combined with capabilities for service registration, monitoring and lifecycle management.

Also in the second quarter, BEA announced the general availability of BEA Tuxedo® 9.0, the latest version of the company's software product for high volume transaction processing. Applications running on BEA Tuxedo form the backbone of some of the world's leading companies running some of the largest, mission-critical transaction processing systems. Examples include wire transfers, Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), and airline reservation, credit card processing and telecommunications billing systems. Leveraging open standards, BEA Tuxedo 9.0 is designed to help customers build new and re-purpose legacy applications and extend them to SOA.
