Scalable, Elastic, High-Performance Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Zing™ is a 100% Java-compatible JVM based on Oracle HotSpot. Designed for enterprise applications and workloads that require large memory, high transaction rates, consistent response times and high sustained throughput, Zing is the only JVM that can elastically grow its application memory heap based on real-time demand and still guarantee response times (i.e. JVM response times are independent of heap size). Because a single instance can scale beyond a few Gigabytes to more than a 1/2 Terabyte of memory, Zing can dramatically reduce the total number of instances needed to support enterprise applications or multi-tenancy SaaS/PaaS solutions, simplifying deployments and lowering operational costs.

At its core, Zing uses the Azul C4 (Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) which eliminates "stop-the-world" pauses which limit the scalability of all traditional JVMs. Zing also includes a management and monitoring platform with a zero-overhead, always-on visibility tool called Zing Vision and the Zing Resource Controller management tool.

The Zing JVM is simple to install and requires no coding change to the application. Because Zing is both elastic and self-healing, tuning is typically reduced to just a few parameters. Simply point your application or startup scripts to use the Zing JVM, and you're running on the most elastic, scalable JVM with the fastest time-to-deployment for any size application.
