Azul Helps Customers Run Efficiently Using Java

Addressing the Cloud Paradox: Companies are compelled to use the cloud for its agility, scale and resiliency. However, those who fail to control cloud costs experience significant margin pressure, which by some estimates weighs down more than a trillion dollars in market capitalization. Azul’s flagship product, Platform Prime, is the world’s best Java runtime for cloud workloads, and is proven to reduce customers’ cloud costs by up to 50 percent.

Popular Oracle Java Alternative: Azul has a 20-year history of Java leadership and is the largest independent Java vendor. Azul supports more versions of Java than any other company, even more than Oracle. Azul Platform Core provides a supported, secure, compatible and compliant Java runtime for up to 70 percent less cost than Oracle.
