New entrants validate BEA WLCP's industry leadership

In early 2005, BEA announced the launch of a new, and strategic product family called BEA WebLogic Communications Platform (WLCP), which was designed to enable the convergence of IT and telecom applications and technologies at the services layer of telecom networks. With the launch of BEA WLCP, BEA also announced the general availability of the industry's first converged JavaEE-SIP-HTTP application server, BEA WebLogic SIP Server. The other major product component of BEA WLCP is the BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper, which is the industry's first integrated platform delivering policy and SLA-based network access control, combined with partner management and Telecom Web Services interfaces to 3rd party partners.
Since then, BEA WLCP has experienced significant customer traction, and commercial product deployments, from network operators, network equipment providers (NEP), and partners on a global basis. Smaller niche ISVs who had been in the market prior to the launch of BEA WLCP, are struggling financially and strategically to compete to be selected as the services container platform standard for the next-generation IMS network deployments.
As other major JavaEE platform vendors such as Oracle acquires some of these small, niche ISVs, and announces their own JavaEE-SIP application servers, and IT-telecom convergence platforms, it highlights the fact that not only are they attempting to emulate the market success of BEA WLCP and BEA WebLogic SIP Server, but it also serves to validate the market leadership BEA WLCP has been providing to the rest of the industry for the last year. By delivering successive iterations of BEA WebLogic SIP Server and BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper, and by announcing real-world, commercial deployments of BEA WLCP products, BEA WLCP has shown the small, niche ISVs, as well as the larger JavaEE platform vendors, that the markets for converged IT-telecom network solutions based on Java EE, Telecom Web Services, SIP servlets, policy enforcement and partner management are real, are global, and are growing rapidly.
The announcements of Oracle SDP (as well as their acquisitions of Hotsip, Net4Call), and IBM's support for JSR 116 SIP servlets in the next version of WebSphere Application Server (WAS), serve to validate the BEA WLCP technology and product vision and strategies. But whereas BEA WLCP is based on the telecom industry's most-widely deployed and used JavaEE server, BEA WebLogic Server, Oracle SDP, IBM WAS and IBM WES-T are based on JavaEE containers which have not yet been proven within the telecom network, such as JBoss, IBM WAS, and Oracle Application Server 10g.
These announcements also highlight the fact that neither Oracle SDP nor IBM WAS & WES-T provide the integrated, full capabilities delivered by BEA WLCP. BEA WLCP continues to be the industry's only integrated IT-telecom convergence platform based on the combined capabilities of Java EE, SIP servlets, ISC, Diameter, Telecom Web Services, SOA, policy enforcement, and partner management, thereby enabling customers to get to increased revenue more quickly, and more cost effectively.
