I don't know how much this relates to Java Enterprise Beans.
But I do know that BEA Systems is in a hot spot business wise.
They can deploy software on more or less any hardware they like.
This makes it easy to expand and load-balance large software systems.

They are sharing an exploding market with a few others, including IBM.
