It's in production on sites with at least tens of thousands of users (on sites that we are aware of).
>- thousands of servers?
Do you mean a cluser of thousands of servers? It's not been tested with that...
JBoss has clustering features though.

At least many.

I wouldn't run a J2EE server with less than 512 MB.

Depends on your support needs, ranging from 0-100 MUSD ;)

All features are available, to use ejbca for example
to embed in another system, good java skills are needed. Normal fetures
are more easily done through shell och web interface.

It rocks compared to most commercial solutions (and other os as well,
depending on your needs of-course).

It's reliable. It's customizeable. It's modern (latest standards). I't s
easy to set up and testdrive. It's user friendly. It's actively
developed. It's cheap. It's embeddable. It's secure (hopefully :). And
it also has a great looking GUI :)
You can also point out that Java is a great language...
