The next generation enterprise system (the next JBoss if you want to go for it) - JVM based - distributed multicore 2-3 nodes => 32 - 96 or more cores - pluggable/dynamic/module substrate OSGI - Felix, Karaf - Components written in Scala -- w liberal use of Actors, some STM as well - Paxos based node coordination and eventual data consistency - The majority if not all data in memory, check pointed on SSD. - Cluster of N nodes survives failures and keeps on chugging. 2F + 1 = N
