Azul Systems® Inc. today announced that Pegasus Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEGS) will deploy Azul compute pools to obtain the scalability and cost benefits that can be provided by network attached processing. Azul Systems Inc. is the pioneer of the industry's first network attached processing solution, designed to unbound compute resources for Java™ and J2EE™ Platform-based applications.

Leveraging Azul Compute Appliances, the world's largest processor-count symmetric multiprocessing systems (SMP), Pegasus will be able to run its critical transaction processing system on fewer, less expensive servers, resulting in reduced IT costs and more efficient use of IT resources.
