BEA Systems is releasing a server that
supports event-driven service orientated architectures in Java
environments.
BEA says its BEA Weblogic Event Server is the only
Java application server optimised to handle large volumes of
streaming data, predictable real-time response requirements and
complex event processing (CEP).
Until now, said BEA, being able to manage these types of event
requirements in real time and with high predictability has not been
possible in Java.
Weblogic Event Server is a lightweight but full-featured
application server platform with event features built in, enabling
customers to build their applications on the platform without
having to integrate a CEP engine with a separate general-purpose
platform.
Weblogic Event Server offers the ability to handle a high volume of
complex events with the speed and predictability that are expected
in C/C++ but at the much lower total cost of ownership of Java,
said BEA.
Weblogic Event Server can be combined with BEA Weblogic Real
Time and BEA Weblogic Server Virtual Edition to support the
requirements of event-driven SOA.
It also aggregates information from distributed systems in real
time and applies rules to discern patterns and trends that might
otherwise go unnoticed.
This gives companies the ability to model, identify, anticipate
and instantly respond to opportunities and threats represented by
seemingly unrelated events.
The product serves as an infrastructure for certain key aspects
of SOA, enabling high-performance computing without modification of
current or planned SOA infrastructure, BEA said.
A public beta for Weblogic Event Server has just started. It
will be generally available as a commercial product this
summer.
