BEA WebLogic Server Virtual Edition (WLS-VE) combines BEA WebLogic Server® 9.2 MP2 with BEA LiquidVM™ 1.1 to work with hypervisor software and offer life cycle control and monitoring features that are unavailable with other application servers. In addition, WLS-VE removes layers of the software stack, which reduces the number of software installations to license, patch, and monitor, and makes it possible to regain some of the performance degradation that is common in virtualized data centers.
