Organisations that optimise enterprise Java infrastructure and applications can rationalise their cloud compute instances. Eight of every ten companies have more than 40% of their applications running on Java. That’s according to Azul‘s State of Java report.
With Azul, organisations can control cloud resource costs:
• Developing frugal architectures.
• Going cloud-native efficiently.

ENHANCE JAVA IN THE ENTERPRISE
Java remains one of the most popular programming languages. Consequently, managing Java costs poorly can contribute to multiple problems. That’s true even if you’re not trying to go cloud-native.
Mismanaged Java instances can result in:
• Budget blowouts and high costs.
• Poor visibility and accountability.
• Inability to forecast.
• Lack of compliance.
Coupled with the rising costs stemming from Oracle Java’s pricing shift in recent years, the elastic nature of cloud provisioning can cause cost overruns. Cloud billing requires controls on resource provisioning, tracking and consumption. Even small misconfigurations can cause cost increases.
Can your customers accurately apportion costs between business units, even teams? What if they need better performance but don’t have unlimited budget?
Azul can help. With Azul, you access a truly superior platform. Organisations can cut cloud infrastructure costs in half, turbo-charging performance and scalability.
MOVE FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE
With Azul, organisations can optimise Java ecosystem runtimes. They can enjoy maximum performance while controlling cloud infrastructure costs. Consequently, they can reduce future challenges in ‘keeping the lights on’. Instead, they can deploy resources to add value.
Some key aspects of cloud-native Java applications to address include:
• Micro-services. Divide apps into independently deployed and scalable, self-encapsulated micro-services.
• Event-driven architecture. Tie business processes together across various services
and data stores.
• Serverless. To reduce cost and complexity, cloud
providers introduced the Serverless or Functions as
a Service (FaaS) models can reduce cost and complexity – such as the need to configure servers – by enabling deployment to a cloud-provider managed infrastructure.
Azul takes organisations through various approaches to optimising Java in its comprehensive Cloud Cost Optimisation Cookbook, downloadable here.
REALISE CLOUD PROMISE – WITH AZUL
Most organisations hoped cloud computing would accelerate innovation. The promise was that cloud would drive revenues and customer satisfaction.
In fact, Azul found that 70% of companies over-provision cloud resources by at least 20%. In some cases, the proportion is almost 60%.
Changing this means thinking differently about cloud applications, including on Java. Typically, that means optimising instances and planning savings, right-sizing and auto-scaling to deliver efficiencies.
The Azul platform can assist. For example, Java warm-up can be slow, resulting in an over-reserve of capacity. With Azul, organisations can better ensure appropriate server instances to handle workloads and that each instance is properly utilising resources.
