Visa U.S.A. Builds Next-Generation, 'Anytime, Anywhere' Payments Network on BEA WebLogic E-Business Platform BEA Selected to Future-Proof Visa U.S.A's DirectExchange Payment System, Expected to Process More Than $1 Trillion in Payments Annually beasys.com ........ Built on BEA's technology, Visa Direct Exchange is designed to process more than $1 trillion in payments annually. The network is designed to accommodate a volume of 10,000 transactions per second, by the end of 2001 - almost triple its current peak load of 3,500 messages per second - and more than 100 billion transactions annually, more than twice the current transaction volume. Visa expects these numbers to continue to climb even higher as the new payment technologies enter the mainstream. ......... Can any one match these numbers? * process a trillion dollars / year * 100 billion transactions / year * 10,000 transactions / second I remember Bill Gates demonstrating Microsoft products on his 'billion transaction day' .. in 1996/1997. All in a mock up fashion. That was simply a joke. I don't know how close Microsoft is today -- to this billion tx mark. This is the magic of app servers. - Zelix

BVSN was under presure for having backward technology and application framework so they went with the standard...BEAS. Any way you look at it BEAS is becomming the standard for Ap Server and Application Infrastructure and trans processing. Huge markets going forward. The only question now is valuation. What's BEAS worth for becoming the standard. $30B, $50B or $100B. I think all of the above but we won't get there in a straight line. This will be more a function of the general market than BEAS itself. Long term just look at ORCL or SUNW share price and appreciation over the years where they became the standard. Adam
