TimesTen And BEA Announce Extended Partnership To Enhance Delivery Of Dynamic Data
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2000--
Partnership is an Extension of BEA's Recent Investment in
TimesTen's $21.5 Million Round of Mezzanine Financing
Building on the recent investment from BEA Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAS), TimesTen Performance Software today announced an extension of the two companies' partnership, originally announced in February 2000, to jointly market a solution combining the TimesTen Front-Tier(TM) dynamic data cache and the market-leading BEA WebLogic Server(TM). This combination provides customers with superior Web site performance, expanded infrastructure capacity, and the ability to implement new, high-value, data-driven applications.
Front-Tier, the industry's first Internet caching solution optimized for dynamic data, augments BEA WebLogic Server by providing additional real-time data caching capabilities to enhance the application performance and user capacity of their existing infrastructures. Front-Tier increases the ability of customers to scale horizontally without being forced to upgrade their backend systems. Working in conjunction with an existing corporate database, Front-Tier manages an organization's "hot" content at the front of a multi-tiered data infrastructure, bringing the data one or more computing tiers closer to the end user, and eliminating the backend database management system as the bottleneck for data-intensive e-business applications.
"The true breakthrough here is that TimesTen and BEA have developed a flexible architecture that can handle massive growth, and at the same time meet the demands of customers who want an ever-richer, more personalized, and more convenient Web experience," said Ed Braginsky, vice president of corporate development at BEA. "Using BEA WebLogic Server with Front-Tier, our customers can quickly develop the type of innovative new services that customers want, and that is the essence of competitive advantage in the New Economy."
"BEA is well-recognized as a powerhouse in e-business infrastructure," said James R. Groff, CEO of TimesTen Performance Software. "Hence, BEA's investment is an important endorsement of the value of dynamic data caching, particularly as a complement to the solid caching capabilities inherent in BEA WebLogic Server. We look forward to working with BEA to more closely integrate and market our products."
