SNRC Seminar Series - Azul Systems - "Network Attached Compute Resources for Application Virtual-Machine Workloads"

Abstract

Azul Systems has created a processing solution enabling unbound compute resources for Java and J2EE platform-based enterprise applications. Azul compute pools eliminate capacity planning and much of the cost and complexity associated with the conventional delivery of computing resources. The platform lifts the compute function off servers and provides the application tier with a consolidated, shared compute resource. This is accomplished by the the Azul virtual machine proxy technology, a patent-pending technology, which transparently redirects virtual machine-based workloads from the application host machines to a pool of

compute resources designed and optimized purely for application virtual machine workloads.
