jbox – A Pure Java Cluster NodeTuesday, 14.00 – 15.00 (Java room) • Reminder – Many home appliances are actually quite advanced devices • Yet they share some common properties of simplicity • Unpack, connect, use... • Does not require an expert to operate • Requires about zero maintainance • Just think if the same was true for Enterprise Business Systems
jbox – A Pure Java Cluster NodeTuesday, 14.00 – 15.00 (Java room) • What would we like to achieve? • Apply the virtues of traditional appliances to IT business systems • Apply the effective software development tools, utilities, and methodologies to appliance development • As a Java server appliance • Ideal development environment to develop, deploy and maintain software for appliances • As a Java cluster node • It’s better to own 100 appliances than 100 application servers
jbox – A Pure Java Cluster NodeTuesday, 14.00 – 15.00 (Java room) • What do we need? • A simple appliance for executing Java programs (JavaOS) • Technology like Jini, Java Spaces, JXTA or similar to build distributed solutions • A truely distributed management option based on JMX • We have built the Java appliance jbox
