  • Supported collector: Azul C4 (Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector)
  • Heap sizes to over 300 GB
  • Elastic memory - dynamic memory allocation (past -Xmx) based on policy
  • Reduces worst case JVM stalls to the 10-20 msec range, without any special tuning
  • Support for Java SE 6 and most J2SE 5.0 apps*
  • 100% Java compatible
  • Linux distributions supported: RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, SLES
  • Pauseless operation
  • 64 bit memory addressing
  • Full JNI support
  • Highly optimized client and server compilers C1, C2
  • Tiered compilation by default (e.g. C1 + C2)
