Yes, but for a real app, you need one of these Azul babies
http://www.azulsystems.com/products/cpools_cappliance.html, which you
can get for only a couple of hundred thousand each, and you may be able
to get away with just three for your dev, qa, and prod environments.
But if you get these, your new Java trading system will be able to run
almost as fast as that old one written twelve years ago in C with a
small Sun server and a couple of hundred 1MB OS/2 clients.
