Azul Systems

Azul Systems is a global provider of enterprise server appliances that delivers compute and memory resources as a shared network service to transaction-intensive applications, such as those built on the Java™ platform. Our family of Azul Compute Appliances enables transparent, massively scalable infrastructure that supports the business priorities of today’s most demanding enterprise environments and delivers increased capabilities, capacity and utilization at a fraction of the cost of traditional computing models.Azul Compute Appliances are pooled together to deliver capacity as a shared network service, which multiple applications can tap into at the same time – an approach known as network attached processing. This approach is similar to network attached storage (NAS) and provides all the benefits of scale-out with a lot fewer servers to manage. Andlike NAS, network attached processing does not require disruptive changes to applications and eliminates speculative capacity planning. This new approach enables datacenters to quickly and seamlessly move to a shared resource model, delivering higher productivity, more predictable service levels and higher reliability, while reducing electricity and cooling costs as well as overall management complexity.
