owned investment of Softbank Investment Corp., selected BEA
WebLogic Server, along with BEA WebLogic JRockit, for its

OS, and Red Hat Advanced Server to its online trading system in
order to improve site performance and online response times,
enhance customer satisfaction, and lower the total cost of
ownership of the system. This is the first case in the online
trading industry where an IA server for mission critical system

performance and transaction processing of the new Linux-based
online trading system, E*TRADE Japan deployed BEA WebLogic Server
and BEA WebLogic JRockit. The system, which was developed by BEA
partners Nomura Research Institute, Ltd., Hitachi Ltd., and Hitachi
Software Engineering Co., Ltd., is nearly 10 times more
cost-effective. In addition, the performance and transaction
processing of the new trading system has nearly doubled and
hardware and maintenance costs were reduced by 20 percent…”
