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
