About Azul Systems

Azul Systems delivers elastic deployment platforms for Java applications that provide unsurpassed scalability, manageability, and production-time visibility for Java-based applications. By providing unparalleled compute and memory resources for throughput-intensive and QoS-sensitive Java applications, Azul enables organizations to dramatically simplify deployments, consolidate instances, increase capacities with predictable response times, and dramatically improve operating costs over traditional deployment models.

What is the Azul vision?

Our vision is to create environments where Java applications are unbound – freed from the constraints of the operating system to scale nearly limitlessly, allowing applications to support business growth and new market opportunities and create compelling end user experiences.

Virtualize Java Execution. Azul seamlessly transports Java execution to an optimized environment, either a software platform or appliance, without application changes.

Eliminate Java Barriers. Azul breaks traditional scale barriers for unprecedented scalability. With Azul, applications scale far beyond current limits, to 100s of GBs of memory and dozens of CPUs per instance.

Simplify Deployments. Azul reduces deployment complexities while increasing application resiliency, visibility, and management.

Create Elasticity. Azul allows applications to smoothly scale resources up or down at runtime, providing 100x better dynamic range with sustainability and greatly improving scalability and resiliency.

What business problem is Azul solving?

Azul is committed to helping businesses improve the profitability of their Java application deployments by enabling easy scalability, ensuring consistent response times and dramatically lowering administration and data center costs and complexity. Azul is addressing:

• New application dynamics, such as Web 2.0, mobile and dynamic XML

• Virtualization and Cloud initiatives

• Potential benefits of leveraging increasingly powerful x86 hardware

• Business and customer demands for scalability, performance and near-perfect reliability and availability

Azul products enable more predictable service levels and higher reliability while dramatically lowering infrastructure costs and complexity.
