Azul Web Portal Performance Guarantee: Experience Higher Web Portal Application Performance, Consistently!


The Industry’s First Program that Guarantees Breakthrough Java Web Portal Application Performance by Improving Your Application’s Throughput by 5X and Response Time Consistency by 10X, Guaranteed!

Circuit City, CitiStreet, LimeWire, and many other market leaders are powering their most critical Java™ Web Portal applications with Azul. Faced with demanding Web traffic 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™ based Web Portals and E-commerce application platforms. 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.

Register here for the Azul E-Commerce Web Portal Guarantees

For a limited time, Azul Systems is offering qualified Java based Web portal applications on-site access to an 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 ECommerce Guarantees; or we will provide free consulting for a week to tune and optimize your Java application for your native environment.³

Azul provides the following guarantees:
• 5X improvement in web portal application scalability and throughput
• 10X improvement in peak transactional response times
• 5X reduction in existing host servers running Java based web portal applications

  • Delivering a Breakthrough Java Computing Experience Whitepaper »
    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.
