BEA Weblogic Server® 9.2
Virtual Edition

BEA WebLogic Server® Virtual Edition is a Java EE environment optimized to get the most out of virtualized hardware. Through a highly tuned JVM and operating system compression, it streamlines the application stack. This allows more applications per server, significantly reducing hardware and operations costs and greatly simplifying deployment.

The pressure on enterprise IT organizations to “do more with less” is greater than ever. Two opposing forces are at work: growing data center build-out costs and increased demand for computing resources, driven by application proliferation—which is in turn enabled by technologies such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The pressure is compounded by expectations that IT move more quickly than ever.

Ironically, there is much untapped potential in the 80-90% of existing server capacity that is currently unused by the typical enterprise. Server virtualization, which allows one physical server to be divided into many independent virtual machines, unlocks this potential by allowing consolidation of multiple applications onto fewer physical servers.

BEA amplifies this consolidation by taking virtualization to the next level. BEA WebLogic Server Virtual Edition exploits a highly tuned JVM and greatly compressed operating system-like environment to streamline each Java application's stack, further increasing server utilization by a significant factor.

Virtualization also brings a quantum leap in agility: provisioning a new application or SOA service no longer means a setting up a whole new server. BEA WebLogic Server Virtual Edition enhances this agility by eliminating the need to configure and maintain an operating system for each application.

The result: extended utilization of existing hardware, less demand for new hardware, reduced complexity, lower operating costs, and unprecedented agility.
