The Structured overlay Networks Application Platform (Snap) is a J2EE-compatible wide-area Web application deployment infrastructure. Due to its structured peer-to-peer overlay network substrate, Snap offers three benefits to wide-area Web application deployment: easy adaptation of existent J2EE applications to a scalable network, a secure and decentralized deployment environment, and transparent embedded services, such as persistence, load balancing, fault tolerance, and edge computing.
