Azul Systems is introducing the Industry’s first network attached processing compute solution designed to unbound compute resources for Java™ and J2EE™ platform-based enterprise applications. The Azul compute appliance eliminates capacity planning and much of the cost and complexity associated with the conventional delivery of computing resources. Azul Systems™ compute pools are comprised of ultra-high capacity compute appliances. Based on innovative multi-core silicon technology, each compute appliance contains up to 384 coherent processor cores and 256 gigabytes of memory in a fully symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) system. Azul compute appliances are specially optimized for object-oriented languages and virtual machine based applications. A standard datacenter rack can house several appliances and more than 1,200 processor cores.«Less

| Name: | Azul Vega 3 Series |
| Product URL: | http://www.azulsystems.com/products/compute_appliance.htm |
| Description: | The Azul Vega™ 3 7300 and 3300 Series compute appliances offer an unprecedented amount of highly scalable compute capacity for Java-based applications, with up to 864 processor cores and 768 GB of memory in a flat SMP configuration. The unique software and hardware-assisted features of the Azul solution enable applications to transparently tap into this capacity over the network and reach unprecedented levels of scalability, throughput, and performance consistency. With this production-proven architecture the Azul Vega 3 Series has set the performance record on industry standard SPECjbb2005 and XMLMark tests. The Vega 3 Series appliances advance the unique business benefits delivered by the Azul solution, and are the fastest path to maximizing the ROI of business-critical applications. Without changing application code or architecture, applications can deliver 5X to 50X greater scalability and throughput, while providing consistent performance even under unpredictable load. The Azul solution also reduces server sprawl by an order of magnitude, simplifying existing deployments and reducing datacenter costs by 30% or more. The new Azul Compute Appliances are built around the Vega 3 processor, the first 54-core chip designed and optimized for Java workloads. The highly scalable Azul Virtual Machine allows individual application instances to scale to 670 GB of memory heaps and hundreds of processor cores in parallel without changing the application code. This breakthrough scalability is achieved with unique capabilities such as hardware-assisted Pauseless Garbage Collection, which eliminates the impact of garbage collection-related application pauses, and Optimistic Thread Concurrency, which minimizes the impact of scalability bottlenecks caused by memory lock contentions. |
