Hi all, I'm currently trying to push Adobe Flex at my company for complex network visualizations. The application will also need to run computationally intensive simulations (accessing backend java code) as well as some other distributed tasks. I know Java can store everything in memory and access it but is Flex just as able? Would it require Flex Data Services and what are the advantages? I'm easily sold on the UI-experience and aesthetic appeal of the front-end, I'm just unsure how it would handle massive computational efforts on the backend and display it all to the client quickly.
We're trying to figure out the best way to go, will it be JavaFX? Flex Data Services? Flex and Java integrated? Elixir? Thank you all for any input, -Tanya
