Java migration with Azul Intelligence Cloud is delivering even smoother sailing in future – with new feature JVM Inventory. In addition, users can combine JVM Inventory with Azul’s Migration Toolkit or traditional software asset management (SAM) discovery tools. Users can further reduce complexity and risk around Oracle Java migration. Here’s how JVM Inventory assists:
• Delivers precise runtime-level visibility.
• Faster instance classification, migration and tracking.
• Slash months off OpenJDK migration timelines.
• Comply with licensing and auditing demands.
MIGRATION FROM ORACLE JAVA – A RESPONSE TO PRESSURES
Enterprises sometimes find they’re running out of time to migrate from Oracle Java. But with Azul’s new JVM Inventory for Azul Intelligence Cloud, they can acclerate their OpenJDK migrations.
At the same time, users find running Java can cost more today. Rising per-employee subscription pricing can double or even quintuple the total cost of ownership.
Accordingly, 82% of respondents to Azul’s 2025 State of Java Survey & Report worry about Oracle’s Java SE pricing and licensing policy. In addition, 88% are considering moving to an OpenJDK alternative.
HOW JVM INVENTORY ANSWERS CUSTOMER NEED
Because of the typically fragmented and manual process of discovery and classification of Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) in an organisation, Oracle Java migration takes six to nine months on average. But JVM Inventory and Azul change the game.
Previously, the SAM tools classically lacked runtime context.
Therefore users could not understand, for example, which Oracle JVMs were used. Some may be bundled with other kit under a permitted licence, and some may be installed but sit unused. Consequently, the whole potentially costly process suffered from higher costs, frequent mistakes, commonplace delays and the risk of non-compliance.
Azul is the only company 100% focused on Java. So it’s no surprise that it remains the largest provider of commercial support for OpenJDK. Azul supports more versions of Java than any other vendor (including Oracle). Azul already boasts a cloud-cost busting portfolio, including Azul Platform Prime and Azul Platform Core.
• Now, JVM Inventory delivers needed context via Azul Intelligence Cloud and Azul’s JDK finding scanner, the Azul Migration Toolkit. In fact, JVM Inventory completes a 360° view of the Oracle Java footprint.
• And because JVM Inventory gathers data directly from JVMs, users enjoy highly detailed runtime insights. They can easily acquire details on JVM vendor, version, installation location and running applications.
• Consequently, they’ll benefit from much richer validated reporting around JVMs and runtimes. Even in dynamic container environments, users can more easily identify and replace Oracle instances.

ACCELERATE ORACLE JAVA MIGRATIONS WITH CONFIDENCE
After all, enterprise Java estates often contain tens of thousands of Oracle JVMs.
In addition, Azul‘s JVM Inventory not only helps remove Oracle JVM instances – but it can ensure they stay away. With continuous, up-to-date runtime detection, users can quickly identify and act on regressions. Teams can automate alerts, streamline compliance, and defend against potential software audits. Also trend analysis is facilitated.
So whether you’ve had enough of running multiple scans with SAM tools and manually analysing spreadsheet reports or simply getting ready to migrate, talk to Team QBS about Azul.
