but my experience in reviewing many applications on JAVA,
BRING MORE HORSEPOWER (in your server), at least double what it would normally take. Java on the server side IS a great development package, lots of power, typechecking, and all sorts of goodies, but at the cost of extra horserpower required.

Metapa CDB is an enterprise Java software application running on Linux. Key aspects of the CDB architecture include:
* Built on open standards. * Based on a shared-nothing architecture. * Advanced SQL parallelization engine supports predicate-based partitioning and query acceleration. * Based on a database-agnostic framework allowing clustering capability for different RDBMs, initially supporting PostgreSQL. * Standards based client interface (JDBC/ODBC/DBI). * Custom low-latency, preemptable protocol on top of TCP. * Purpose-built from the ground up to increase the performance of "star-schema" data models typical in today's demanding decision support systems.
