The Industry’s First Program that Guarantees Breakthrough Java Application Performance by Improving Your Application’s Throughput and Response Time Consistency by 5X, Guaranteed!
Credit Suisse, BT, CitiStreet, Pegasus, TrueCredit, and many other market leaders are powering their most critical Java™ applications with Azul. Faced with demanding business requirements and rapidly increasing transaction volumes, these companies turned to Azul as the fastest and most transparent solution for achieving breakthrough application performance and response time consistency.
Azul provides a superior solution for hosting Java applications. Azul Compute Appliances complement your existing infrastructure with highly scalable, shared compute resources that can be accessed transparently by any Java application hosted on your network. The Azul solution allows each application instance to break through conventional scalability barriers by accessing 100s of processors in parallel and 320 GB of memory in a single heap – without changing the application code or architecture. No more garbage collection (GC) pauses, no more memory constraints, and no more time spent re-architecting applications to meet growing business requirements.
We’re so confident of our solution that we guarantee¹ Azul Compute Appliances will provide at least a 5X improvement in your application’s throughput, scalability and response time consistency. If we do not meet the Azul 5-50 Guarantees¹, we will offer free consulting for a week to tune and optimize your Java application for your native environment.³

For a limited time, Azul Systems is offering qualified companies on-site access to a new Azul Vega 2 Compute Appliance, configured with 192 processor cores and 96 GB of memory, for evaluation and testing for a period of 30 days. Also included is an on-site application architecture support for 30 days.² During this 30-day period, we guarantee that your application will meet the Azul 5-50 Guarantees; or we will provide free consulting for a week to tune and optimize your Java application for your native environment.³
The Azul 5-50 Guarantees are supported by the unique capabilities and innovations of the Azul solution. Azul Compute Appliances are the industry’s only platform that provide:
- Large SMP capacity scaling up to 768 processor cores and 768 GB of memory
- Network Attached Processing deployment model enabling multiple applications to dynamically tap into the shared, virtualized capacity of the Azul Compute Appliances
- Concurrency-optimized Java Virtual Machine to increase scalability to 100s of processors and 320 GB of memory
- Pauseless Garbage Collection to eliminate the impact of GC pauses even for very large memory heaps
- Optimistic Thread Concurrency to increase application scalability across many processors
- Cooperative Memory Management to eliminate out of memory errors
- DirectPath to eliminate IO bottlenecks between applications

Java is well established as the dominant programming model for the Enterprise, and has a significant footprint in over 90% of large companies. As it continues to mature, Java is increasingly used to support very large business critical applications, sometimes referred to as Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP) applications. This paper discusses how Azul Compute Appliances complement existing infrastructure with highly scalable compute and memory resources for Java-based applications and meet the demands of XTP applications, by delivering extreme throughput and scalability with consistent performance, without changing the application code or architecture.
