Azul Systems Announces Availability of Zing 5.0

Azul Systems (News - Alert), the award-winning leader in Java runtime scalability, recently announced in a press release that Zing 5.0, the most scalable Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for enterprise Java workloads, is now available.

A pure software implementation for Linux and x86-based servers, Zing 5.0 is the only JVM that delivers guaranteed predictability and pauseless execution for Java applications. The solution also supports application instances exceeding 512GBs of memory with pauseless operation, allowing the organizations to simplify Java deployments, maintaining response time consistency and ensuring lower operating costs. 

“The Zing JVM could help solve the scalability problems that have held back Java for the past 15 years,” said John Abbott, chief analyst at 451 Research (a division of The 451 Group (News - Alert)), in a statement. “It's likely to prove a visible and important contribution to the success of enterprise Java deployments and mission-critical Linux-based applications.”

“Our customers are leading global enterprise organizations that rely on Apptio's SaaS (News - Alert)-based Technology Business Management services to power insights and decisions by processing large-scale financial and operational data,” commented Mark Jancola, vice president of Engineering, Apptio, Inc. “With the Zing JVM, we can effectively use five times more application memory and deliver more consistent response times under unpredictable loads.”

“We developed a highly scalable SaaS-based recruiting management application that had to be responsive, even under load,” said Adam Crow, technical director, DC123 Pty Ltd. “Only the Zing JVM allowed us to load more tenants onto a server than what HotSpot could support, and Zing also kept response times consistent. Now we have confidence that our systems can scale appropriately without breaking a sweat.”

Zing 5.0 is another quality solution from Azul Systems which was recently elected to the Java Community Process (JCP) Executive Committee (EC). CTO and co-founder Gil Tene will serve as Azul's representative on the Executive Committee. The JCP is an open, participative process program established in 1998 to foster the evolution of the Java platform in cooperation with the international Java developer community.
