>What is the exact definition of "Enterprise-class"? it means:
"costs lots more than it should" "has lots of check boxes on the feature list" "may require a consultant to implement it" "is sold by a sales rep that gets commission" "insecure IT decision makers will feel better about their purchase" etc... enterprise class doesn't mean anything. there is no standard definition - it's a made up marketing term. it means whatever you want it to. but maybe you already knew that and were just asking for peoples own personal definitions. bah.

Is that enterprise-class enough? I've never really understood the definition of "Enterprise-class" either. I think it means being extremely scalable, the ability to span across multiple servers in multiple locations (geographically), and the ability for multiple other systems to communicate with each other. Am I wrong on this? What is the exact definition of "Enterprise-class"? I work for an enterprise and we use multiple languages for different purposes - does that count? I'd be interested to hear people's definitions.
