Intel Demonstrates Combination of Leading Enterprise

Applications on Intel Architecture Using Oracle Database
Clusters

ORACLEWORLD, Copenhagen, June 26th 2002: Intel Chief
Information Officer Sandra Morris today showcased Oracle's database clustering
technology, Oracle9i Real Application Clusters, together with SAP applications
on the

Intel(r) Xeon(tm) Processor family during her keynote
address at OracleWorld Copenhagen. The combination of Intel Servers with
Oracle's database clusters deliver world-class performance, reliability and
performance at very low costs.

During her keynote address, Morris explained how
information technology (IT) departments can deliver increased productivity and
competitive advantages to their companies by running e-Business solutions on
Intel processor-based enterprise systems.

At OracleWorld, Intel showcased a number of
demonstrations of independent software vendors (ISVs) who have validated their
applications against Oracle9i Real Application Clusters on Intel Xeon
processors. These include ERP vendors SAP and IFS, where performance scaling is
linear, allowing up to 2400 concurrent users on a 4-node Xeon cluster, in the
IFS example. These demonstrations highlight the efforts of Intel's Solution
Centres in helping companies to validate their software to Intel Itanium and
Xeon Architectures from competitive architectures.

In addition, Intel demonstrated the developer release of
Oracle9i Database, running on a pre-production Itanium 2-based system from
Hewlett-Packard at its OracleWorld booth, demonstrating growing interest behind
the Intel Itanium 2 processor in the European market. This increasing momentum
will be further demonstrated with a multi-million dollar worldwide business
advertising campaign, which will challenge customers with the question, "Are You
Ready," and will show how virtually all the world's leading technology companies
are supporting the Itanium 2 processor. The new advertisement will be placed in
leading business and IT publications throughout Germany and the UK beginning
this week.

"Oracle and Intel have worked together for years to
produce powerful products for enterprise computing," said Doug Kennedy, vice
president of Platform Alliances, Platform Technologies Division, Oracle Corp.
"Oracle's database, tools, and applications, combined with current and new Intel
technology, such as the Itanium 2 processor, provides enterprise performance for
today and the future for demanding e-business solutions."

BEA Ships WebLogic JRockit For Intel-based Servers;
Companies Work Together to Optimize on Intel®Itanium® 2 Platforms Global
Customers Select BEA Application Infrastructure and Intel-based Servers For
Performance and Cost Efficiency June 25, 2002 - BEA Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: BEAS),
the world's leading application infrastructure software company, and Intel
Corporation today announced the general availability of BEA's Java Virtual
Machine (JVM), BEA WebLogic JRockit (tm) v3.1.5,
optimized for the Intel® Xeon(tm) processor family. In addition at BEA eWorld
Europe 2002 this week, BEA and Intel are jointly demonstrating a forthcoming
version of BEA WebLogic JRockit that is designed to run on the soon-to-be
introduced Intel® Itanium® 2 processor.

BEA WebLogic JRockit is the industry's first Java
Virtual Machine built from the ground up to address the scalability, high
performance, and manageability needs of the most demanding server-side Java
applications. Unlike others, BEA WebLogic JRockit is the only JVM to provide a
management console that offers real-time information about server behavior and
application resource availability.

Customers can monitor the operating characteristics of
the JVM and the Java application and be automatically notified of application
changes and resource availability to mitigate imminent resource issues, such as
memory usage or CPU utilization, in time to help avoid possible system downtime.
BEA WebLogic JRockit brings interoperability across multiple hardware and
operating system configurations, which allows businesses to maximize hardware
usage, lower investment costs and take advantage of the true benefits of the
Java language.

The Intel Itanium 2 processor is the second in a family
of enterprise-class processors from Intel that brings the performance and volume
economics of Intel-based servers to the most demanding segments of enterprise
computing. The Intel Itanium processor family enables a choice of reliable and
scalable platforms offered by a broad base of OEMs with support from vendors of
leading operating systems and enterprise software applications for high-end
servers and workstations at significantly lower costs and greater performance
than proprietary offerings.

With higher data speeds and other key micro-architecture
enhancements, servers based on the Itanium 2 processor are expected to deliver
up to 1.5 to two times the performance of today's Itanium-based systems,
significantly extending the product line's performance over proprietary
RISC-based systems on key enterprise-class applications.

Customers Rely on BEA WebLogic Server on the Intel
Architecture Many global customers, including Cegos Group, Siemens Business
Services (SBS), SCOOT France, UTT logistics, MMA, Banque Accord and BJB GmbH are
working with Intel and BEA to take advantage of the performance and cost
efficiency benefits of BEA WebLogic Server (tm) on
the Intel architecture (IA).

SCOOT France, a comprehensive business and service
directory, is using the power of WebLogic Server on Intel-based servers to
receive thousands of daily requests for information, to handle all search engine
enquiries and to display the search results based on the communications channel
in which the request was received - Web, telephone or Minitel.

Siemens Business Services (SBS), one of the world's
largest independent software companies, uses BEA WebLogic Server on Intel-based
servers as the run time environment for a number of customer solutions where the
priority is on high performance, reliability and scalability. SBS's Click For
License (C4L), is one specific example where BEA and Intel support 36,000 users
running a comprehensive enterprise license management system, using WebLogic
Server on Intel-based servers, integrating with SAP and other RDBMS systems.

"Our ongoing alliance has resulted in Intel and BEA
delivering the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform to market on one of the highest
performing and most cost-effective computing platforms available," said John
Davies, vice president and general manager, Intel Solution Market Development
Group. "Now, we're focusing our efforts to deliver these same benefits for our
forthcoming Itanium 2 processor so that BEA customers who demand the utmost in
reliability, scalability and performance have an option to deploy Itanium
2-based systems later this year."

"Today's announcement will help meet our customer demand
for BEA WebLogic on Intel-based platforms," said Scott Dietzen, chief technology
officer of BEA Systems. "Together with Intel, we aim to significantly accelerate
the proliferation of BEA WebLogic on Intel servers, as well as applications
built on BEA. This will give customers greater freedom of choice in production
environments and our ISVs increased distribution and faster performance of their
applications running on both the Xeon and Itanium processor families."

Formed in 2001, the BEA-Intel alliance was created to
address customer demand for more choice of platforms for high-performing and
scalable Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) enterprise software solutions. BEA's
JVM is designed to enable world-class performance of BEA's software on
Intel-based servers and a choice of Microsoft Windows and Linux operating
systems. This helps ensure that enterprise solutions built on BEA can take
advantage of the performance and scalability enhancements of current and future
Intel-based platforms and technologies, including the Intel Itanium processor
family, Intel Xeon processor family, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, and I/O
specifications for servers, among others.
