2. jbox – A Pure Java Cluster Node Tuesday, 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

3. jbox – A Pure Java Cluster Node Tuesday, 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

4. jbox – A Pure Java Cluster Node Tuesday, 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
