Web Services

Is it Possible to Engineer Revenue Growth?

It is now!  The trend of Web services is growing tremendously as businesses deploy composite Web services that link existing systems via service-oriented architecture (SOA), enabling new business processes and delivering richer user experiences to your customers. All of these new services drive up workload demand, put strain on existing resources, and if not deployed correctly, can lead to poor customer response times, diminishing the value originally sought by these efforts.  It’s no secret that enterprises that rely on Web services to drive revenue need to have a means for ensuring SLAs and adequate capacity for all service components - all while controlling IT costs.

This is where Azul Compute Appliances come in.

Azul is working with both established enterprises as well as market leading 'up-and-comers' in this emerging sector, transparently delivering massive amounts of processing and memory to transaction-hungry applications as a shared network service – an approach we call network attached processing. The Azul solution is enabling large enterprises and system integrators to fully leverage web services and SOA and deliver on the promise of utility, grid, and on-demand computing strategies.

Because of the unique and differentiated features of Azul Compute Appliances, our Web services customers are able to reduce their server footprint, operational complexity, power and cooling costs – and enable top line revenue growth through application availability, up-time and scalability.
