Subject: Calling all EJB Solution Developers
Are you, or is your company, developing an EJB-based business solution?
ZLand is your best potential customer. We want your EJB's, and we'll bring
you the distribution channel. Our hosted ERP-class application suite
delivers rental applications to small customers. The current suite, hosted
at our Seattle NOC, is 45 Lotus Notes applications (HTML) including
catalog, commerce, HR, etc. Sales offices, each owning a set of zip code
based territories, sign up the small customers and do the integration
legwork. SAP and PeopleSoft might be coming down to the $2M installation,
but we're down at the $5k-$50k sign-up range, or the "no-competition" zone.
Our new architecture, designed to accomodate additional transactional
systems like GL, AR, OE, auction, etc, will consist of a WebLogic/TOPLink
cluster, SilverStream cluster, Simba, and DB2, and partnerships with those
companies are in the works as the server integration work is already
underway. 4 physical tiers, 7 software tiers - ugh. This has been called
the mother of all systems by posters on this list. Imagine thousands of
little mom-and-pop businesses, each with their own website (on-line
catalogs, payables data entry, employees browsing their 401k status in the
HR module, etc) being used by anonymous web users and employees alike, all
served up by a very heavy cluster in our NOC. Then throw in reporting based
on EJB's (via our Simba-based ODBC-EJB Bridge Driver for Tengah), and
consider the thousands of instantiations that will result from a stupid one
page report. Finally multiply that by another 75 to 140 NOC's which are the
build-out of our international presence. Help!!! Just kidding, I'm
confident.
I've already heard from some of the great EJB-based solutions being built
by hot vendors like ITMShip and ActionWare, and others <grin> like IBM SF.
Send me a buzz and tell me what you're working on out of your garage. Or
pass along the good rumors, like whether Oracle is in fact porting their
financials to EJB. :-)

Engineer, ZLand
