The Zing Elastic Software Platform

Through an integrated, application-aware runtime resource controller, Zing’s elastic architecture automatically scales individual Java application instances up and down based on real-time demand. By efficiently scaling resource-intensive applications such as Web portals, trading platforms and e-commerce websites, the Zing Platform enables Java applications of all sizes to withstand massive usage spikes while maintaining consistent response times, service availability and overall user experience. By reducing application instances to only a few very robust and elastic Zing runtime instances, enterprises can reduce deployment complexity, simplify configurations, accelerate time-to-market and reduce TCO for Java applications.

Designed and optimized specifically for virtualized environments, the Zing Platform is ideally suited for deployments of Java applications in both public and private clouds. By employing Azul's proven Java virtualization technology, IT organizations can confidently deploy any size Java application into virtualized infrastructure and Zing’s optimized runtime platform will ensure the highest scalability with up to a 100x improvement in application throughput. Even non-x86 Java applications running on AIX, Solaris SPARC or zLinux can leverage Azul’s proven Java virtualization technology and the new Zing platform to dramatically scale performance and throughput on cost-effective x86 hardware.
