First released in December 2005, the Real Time product has an installed base of only a handful of customers now in production but more than 50 additional customers are in the pipeline, according to BEA. The company sees the product competing with the Tibco Rendezvous real-time messaging product. BEA believes it offers an advantage over Tibco in that customers have more control over applications.

BEA WebLogic Real Time Core Edition 1.1 ships on Monday; the company declined to provide specific pricing details.
