Nathan,

The current upper limit for the iSeries of 32 processors/256G main
memory is likely to meet most needs business needs. There are a lot of
costs in a distributed application and those costs are often overlooked.
A single system is much simpler whether it is an iSeries or other server
has few points of failure, is much easier to test, and can take full
advantage of native data access.

...The dilemma for developers is that broadening the scope of Java
applications
will ultimately lead to a requirement for distributed components.
