Rescue your team from Oracle JAVA price hikes, Switch to Azul
Aquion is Azul’s Distributor for Australia and New Zealand.
All java is not created equal. Some versions are very expensive and others while less costly or free are not as secure as they need to be. For example Azul is around 70% less costly than Oracle java.
Azul is the largest company 100% focused on Java and the JVM, with the largest Java engineering team after Oracle, presence in 14 countries, channel partners covering 88 countries, and over 100 technology partners creating joint solutions for various industries and use cases.
Azul Java is often preferred for its performance optimisations, cost-effectiveness, and faster security patching, making it a good choice for applications requiring low latency and high throughput, as well as for businesses looking to manage costs.
Why switch ?
Performance Optimization:
Zing JVM: Azul’s Zing JVM is designed for low-latency and high-throughput applications, with features like C4 (Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) that minimises pauses and maximises uptime.
JIT Compiler: Azul includes a highly optimized Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler that can provide better performance for certain workloads compared to the standard HotSpot JIT.
Cost-Effectiveness:
Subscription Model: Azul offers more flexible and potentially cost-effective subscription models compared to Oracle, which can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to reduce licensing costs.
Support for Legacy Systems:
Long-Term Support: Azul provides long-term support for older versions of Java, ensuring that legacy systems remain secure and up-to-date.
Security:
Faster Patches: Azul claims to deliver security patches faster than Oracle, reducing the window of vulnerability for businesses.
Compatibility:
Wide Platform Support: Azul supports a wide range of platforms and operating systems, making it a versatile choice for diverse IT environments.
