Azul Vega™ Series compute appliances enable Java applications to reach unprecedented levels of scalability, throughput and performance consistency while simultaneously reducing deployment complexities. http://www.azulsystems.com/press/051209_groupe_mutuel.htm This may be a crazy stupid idea, but I was having a conversation today about the kinds of things that make sense to be "as a service". Amazon EC2 and S3 are essentially compute as a service and storage as a service. Since I'm a Java guy, I wonder: Does it make sense to have a JVM as a service?...So, what if we mashup Azul with Amazon? http://connollyshaun.blogspot.com/2009/03/jvm-as-service-mashup-azul-and-amazon.html Participate in this Survey and Enter to Win a $100 American Express Gift Card http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB2297V9Y3Q7K Join Azul Systems at JavaOne 2009 as we show you how leading organizations are experiencing a breakthrough performance in their Java™ applications.
