Although physical RAM is inexpensive, allocating large amounts of memory to a JVM instance is not generally a good idea, says Azul Systems' CTO Gil Tene in this interview with Artima. Tene shows how recent research in garbage collection and JVM implementation helps overcome the JVM's memory barrier, resulting in new types of applications.

No real content. This is a marketing blurb and a waste of time.

Greetings,
Almost all Java Enterprise applications that I have seen starve for memory was because they were poorly written. The saying is that if you throw enough sh#% at the wall, something is bound to stick. Most poorly written applications are saved by tossing in a few more gigs of ram. The cheapness of RAM has caused many developers to be lazy or at least not think about all those objects being created.
I also agree with fmoidu, no real content - just marketing fluff.
Regards,
Tom
